Also, TakaraTOMY is a publicly listed company. Anyone can easily find their contact details - either through Google or just looking at any of their toy boxes, instruction booklets etc. (or the Contact TakaraTOMY web page) and just contact them should they wish. ToyCo does still exist today.

Who told you that Takara doesn't own the rights to G1 Shockwave?
It's common knowledge that Takara don't own the rights to Shockwave, and what's them being listed in the phone book got to do with anything?
