    Oh. Didn’t know that. You mean I can actually be a first time poster child for once. Wow. Ok. I’m headed that way later today so if I see they’ll I’ll post cause o regret not getting Shockwave. Some look decent in vehicle modes some in robot but not worth soending money i don’t think.
    Anyways will do.

    Yes. Our only sightings thus fair hail from Taiwan.

    Also, while you're at at, could you also do me the favor and either photograph or write down the UPC barcodes?

    At least now nobody can tease Sideswipe chan anymore for being too flat.

    Where, and proof?
    I checked a few Walgreens in my region and they all have either nothing or just Optimus and Bumblebee. Proof would give some hope these are starting to hit.

    Proof delivered. Awesome!
    Where are you located?
    Gads I hope I can find Shockwave. Been hyped about it since the first hint forever ago.

    I'm about 45min outside San Francisco, CA.
    Shockwave UPC 63050964914
    Sideswipe UPC 63050964913
    They only had one pair and rang up at $17.99 each.

    Ok, here's a few images out of the packaging. Stands at 7" tall. Sculpt and paint apps look great! DSC_0158.JPG DSC_0160.JPG DSC_0162.JPG

    Well that decisively settles the knees question for anyone who was still holding out hope. Still looks great regardless and all it has to do is stand on a shelf really. Could you take some pics of it with other Generations figures please? I'd like to see exactly how it scales and fits in.

    He does look great, and right at home with some of the more cartoony PW3 figures like Jazz.

    I don't know if I'll be able to ignore the lack of knees, and seeing that Shockwave is an ecellent candidate for a new WfC Voyager I'm still undecided if I'll get him if I seee him.

    You can get ball joints from Shapeways. Drill out the thigh where the nail head thingie is, insert shaft of ball joint with plastic cement. Done. May need to hollow out part of the female end, but it'd give knee joints fairly quickly and cheaply.

    I must have had the St. Patrick's Day luck today because I walked into my local Walgreens and found Shockwave too! Want to get another one to open, this one I'm keeping sealed to hopefully get signed by Corey Burton someday! They had a Sideswipe too but I didn't get him.
