Chevrolet Aveo "Swerve" available to purchase of Chevrolet Site

isnt this the same as a daewood like off top gear.

and lifes good when living in europe but i cant afford it due to i just bought my first starscream figure and my micron wheeljack

So this thing is $70,- before shipping? Eh, no thanks =(

Would cost me $45. no thanks, chevy.

I bought two of them which ended at €60,60 after shipping, which should come out to about $120 which is $80 cheaper or more (if you include the ridiculous eBay shipping prices) from the eBay sellers from China. I've debated about buying the ones on ebay for around $200 plus shipping but couldn't do it for a figure that I consider to be worth about $10 to $20. $120 might be a little ridiculous but at least it's coming from the UK, getting shipped fast and now I'm getting two of them so that I can do galleries of this figure for all of you.

Now what'll be a real kicker is when this figure becomes available here in the States on Chevrolet.com for $10 a figure plus $10 shipping. Ah well. At least I get it in advance from when it'll potentially be available here.

A bit much for me especially with botcon coming up!

I actually emailed the U.S. website to see if they will be offering this figure for sale in the future, I'll post the reply once I hear back from them.

Way too much money to spend. Pass.

that is to expensive for such a dinky alternator

Hmm... I thought it was an interesting item, and living in Europe, this deal was too interesting to let up. Bought two of them, one as a gift...

Hmmm, the product seems to have vanished from that there link...

the cost kept me away last night when i was thinking about getting it, i just dont understand why shipping would be that much but maybe thats how most international prices are i cant remember. cool looking bot though...

It's gone.

And with it all hope.

Did anyone save the pics?

Wow... That item went fast. I wonder if they really did only sell the rest of the (rumoured) 2000 items produced. Seems like my order of two Swerve's might be in interesting investment in a couple of years time

Now, the shipping charges were obscene. I've just paid $21 to have a complete Armada Unicron shipped to the UK from the USA and the guy had to check the postage costs first so I know he's not making a loss.

I got a reply from the U.S. Chevy site:

"Because of international licensing agreements this item is not avaiable in

Oh well so much for hoping

If it's any consolation, the figure is terribly ugly.

I missed it! FU**!

I like it being an ordinary everyday car. A perfect disguise.

Not some exotic super car.

and for that amount of money, you could get 3-4 better quality TFs out there.

That's true. The price made me think twice, then I decided to get it and it was sold out and I was gutted for missing it though. You always want what you can't have.

Great!
The cost was 12,80 euro and shipping was 7 euro... a little over 30 US Dollars...
And I got mine in today! Too bad I didn't order more...

Anyone else ordered Swerve from Europe, (or even more specifically from the Netherlands), who hasn't yet received their item (or items, in my case)?
I ordered two Swerves, and they are still displayed in my order history, but so far no charges on my credit card and no package in the mail I do know people who did receive their orders didn't get a confirmation mail of shipping (as promised in the first order mail), but still...

I've sent an e-mail to Chevy yesterday, but so far, no reply. I'm getting slightly worried

Have you received yours yet?

Nope, but I did call Chevrolet merchandising today... They were actually real nice. When I gave them a call, the guy I needed to talk to wasn't at his desk, but he called me back in 5 minutes! The deal is this: Chevy merchandising for Europe is real small. I guess they have about 3 or 4 employees. To put it simply, they were totally surprized by the huge wave of orders that came through on Wednesday M<arch 27th for Swerve. There were literally hundreds of orders extra, the guy told me, and they were totally unprepared for it (not TF fans, I guess).

So, anyways, it meant that they still weren't done processing all the orders, but they would probably finish the shipping this week. He told me my order was safe and would be shipped

So... if you did get a succesful order in, but haven't received it yet (like me), chances are it will arrive this week or next. Hope this helps everyone who is still waiting...

Hi
I guess that good news, thanks.
Now I need to find time to phone up.

uh, no ... no, it really isn't.

I like its design. It's at least better than Swindle.

Ah, a great start to the weekend! I came home from work to (finally) find the UPS guy with my package containing two Swerve Aveo's! Even though the car sure is ugly, as a robot it looks the business and as a TF it's a great collectible!

Wow. I wish i'd live to see the day Aveo Swerve will be featured in the gallery.

The prices on eBay are somewhere between affordable (50-60$) and ludicrous (130-150$).

That's still too heavy for my purse. Poor me is only willing to buy toys at below twice the regular price. That means to say, Deluxe Aveo should not come close to $20, for me to take home.

Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge TF fan. Only, not blessed with deep pockets.

hmm, still haven't been dingede for mine, but it has my order on their site with no shipping available.
anyone else run into this?
