Quality?

Hey dudes,
If I can't seem to find a G1 Shockwave soon, I may have to unfortunately have to resort to a KO (*cringe*) Shockwave, which I hope will never happen. However, are there any specific good quality KO Shockwaves that are out there on eBay and the like. I really don't want to go to this, yet it may be the only option if I can't find one. Thanks, Bidoofdude out.

Another option is to get a "Shackwave" (aka Astro Magnum or Galactic Man)

This toy is NOT a knockoff, but an officially licensed release of pre-Transformer G1 Shockwave - sold through Radio Shack chains, hence the nickname "Shackwave." A lot of Australians (like me) grew up with Shackwaves instead Shockwaves because G1 Shockwave was never sold here, but Shackwaves were! :) So that's another alternative you may like to consider over a fake Shockwave...

Otherwise... just keep waiting. I'd personally NOT have a toy than accept a fake (and maintain my pride as a collector).

Found these on eBay...
Shockwave (loose w/ box) - ships internationally
Shackwave - ships internationally
Shockwave - loose /w tech specs, only ships to US*
Shockwave - loose in box, only ships to US*
Shockwave - loose w/ tech specs & instructions, ships internationally
Shockwave - complete loose, ships internationally from Hong Kong (so postage should be cheaper than from the US)

Good luck.

*If you have a contact in the US you could ask them to get this on your behalf and send it to you.
Disclaimer: I have no idea how to tell an original from a fake; so please check carefully before purchasing/bidding (or however the hell ebay works).

Wow, thanks. That first one looks alright if i get the money.

Any good places to get Shackwave. There's only one on eBay...
