Was there ever a reissue of Shockwave?

[Hursticon]

Hey guys, I just won this on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....=STRK:MEWNX:IT

And I was wondering if anybody could tell me if this is a reissue?, or at any rate, if Shockwave was ever reissued?.

Any help would be much appreciated.

According to tfwiki there were no reissues of G1 Shockwave.., (YAY)

Cheers man that is a good thing, although, 1AZRAEL1 has just made me aware of this link:

Unfortunately, and as always, I'm not liking my odds...

No reissue - it has silver screws so looks like a KO....

Well, if it is a KO, what would be my standing as I've not paid for it yet would I be able to back out of the transaction as I was under the impression that it was an original?, or would I be likely to incur negative feedback?

This is just my two cents on the auction:

"...Electronic and sound work well..."

"...leg is metal part..."

"...check details for the pictures..."

Grammatically these sentences don't sound very correct. Seeing as though your seller is from the UK I would like to assume that they could at least write their own language correctly into coherent sentences. The point I'm trying to get across is that in a lot of auctions for KO TFs is that there is a certain laxness in spelling and grammar which is more often common than not.

Remember that it is against eBay user terms of service to sell counterfeit items, so that person shouldn't even be selling KOs in the first place. I would contact this person and say that it's come to your attention that the product is a fake and that you thought it was genuine. There was nothing in the auction description to let you know it was fake, and furthermore it's against ebay ToS to sell fakes, so it's perfectly reasonable for you to assume it was genuine.

Report the matter immediately to eBay and see if they can cancel your transaction or arrange to have your money refunded.

Be aware that even if the original Shockwave mould hasn't been destroyed or lost, it is a NON Takara mould which has not been acquired by Tomy and as such will probably never be reissued. Other such moulds include:
+ Jetfire
+ Deluxe Insecticons
+ Deluxe Autobots
...but a lot of Takara/TOMY-owned moulds have been KOed too, so be careful.
