Was there ever a reissue of Shockwave?

Most of my G1s are from regular stores (Kmart, Target, MyerGrace Bros etc.)... but that was quite some time ago. :p ;) These days I usually get my G1s from trading with other collectors or from collectable fairs.

The Nexus Fair is your friend (as are your fellow Perth-based collectors :D). :)

And where do they get their inventory? ;)

I imagine there would be various sources, and sure, I wouldn't discount eBay as one of them. But in answer to bruticus' question I was pointing out alternatives to using eBay.

My main sources of G1 has been Transformerland and Ebay. Occasionally I will buy from fans on this board or non affiliated TF private sellers.

out of curio, does anyone know if the electronic gimmick for the KO Shockwave works like the real one? Ive handled the Gray Shackwave and of course my real one and they do both have the "Thorp and Magnoid" sound effects, so just curious if they did the same for this KO version.

It does work like the 'real' one... although the volume has been turned up a bit. Hint - wear ear plugs :D
