It's always random from the US. Could be next week or could be the week after that.

Changing the gun and hand is pretty straight forward, all you'll need is an appropriate size* Phillips head screwdriver. Here's a step by step if you want to see what's involved:

1. Remove three screws from right arm. The inside half of the arm can then be popped off. The hand just slips over a round post so swap it over and close it back up.
2. Remove three screws from the left arm. Remove the battery cover and inside half of the left arm.
3. Carefully slide out the gun barrel, switch, and battery compartment. The wiring can be quite fragile. If you don't care about the electronics, you can probably just insert the opaque barrel and reassemble the case, otherwise remove the small screw from the base of the barrel.
4. The tip of the gun barrel can be popped off and the halves separated. Remove the LED and wires from the barrel. Disassemble the opaque barrel in the same way, install the LED then reassemble the barrel and arm. Don't forget to put the end of the hose back inside before you close up the arm.

Sorry for the less than optimal lighting.

* Some people have reported that the screw heads might be prone to stripping if you use too large/small a screwdriver. A 1.8 mm jeweler's screwdriver fit perfectly for me.

Thanks! That will be very helpful reference for those who wish to swap parts.

A word of warning: If you have the backpack plugged in you may want to fold the gun sight slightly outwards so that it's not hard up against the small of his back. If folded all the way up, the backpack can scratch the silver paint on the sight when you rotate at the waist.

Hey Kup,

what did they hit you for postage on this guy? Thanks

They made a mistake and only sent me one Quakewave when I had ordered two so the postage on the package is not correct.

They originally charged me $69.60 shipping for 2x Quakwaves

Just got this email from Captured Prey:

Hi All,

Quick update. The solid hands/guns for our first-run Quake Wave customers (YOU!) are all finally packed, labeled, and on the way out. They'll be headed to the post office tomorrow sometime. Here's the lowdown for everyone affected:

• The hands are shipping via First Class Mail. There's no tracking, and you won't see any additional updates to your order reflecting their shipment, just this message letting you know.
• International customers, please allow several weeks, as first class mail can be pretty darn slow at times, and seems to be slower of late. If you don't have the hand within 8 weeks I'll gladly send another!
• Domestic (USA) customers, you should receive the hands within a few days, but please allow a couple weeks to be sure. I'll be glad to resend at that point if it hasn't arrived.
• If you still have an order pending other items with a first-run Quake Wave, your hand parts have NOT been mailed. You will receive them with the toy when your order is complete and ships.

Thanks,
Orson "Sidecutter" Christian
Owner, Captured Prey

Sweet! No mention of the second gun barrel tho...
