Quality?

[Bidoofdude]

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).
