Nyghtwynd of Cybertron.ca reports finding the very rare Chevy Aveo Universe Swerve at a GM event in Mississauga, Ontario. Previously this figure was reported to have been available only in European dealerships as an incentive to test-drive the Chevy Aveo, and even there they were hard to find. Nyghtwynd writes:

Currently at Square One, Mississauga, General Motors has a setup in the food court area. Among the sniny new cars up for a trst drive, you can enter a draw to win one of those plus a trip to the 2010 Olympics. After entering, you are given a choice between either a GM recyclable bag (approx. $1-2), a slide puzzle ($1), or the Transformers Universe Chevy Aveo Swerve figure (approx. $20 on the Chevrolet online store) for free.

I wonder how long it'll take for them to run out of stock.

What's the address to the Chevrolet Online Store with "Swerve" for approximately $20.00?

Well, guys, they're all out now. In fact they were all out within 2 hours of opening today.

But they said they'll be here to give us more details on where they'll be next. They knew this place by name.

Edit: By the way, the guy there laughed and said we'll all get our Transformers. they actually had them there for a while, but totally ran out once news reached this place. They get lots of these things in every week.

I got the last one at 11:30. They are giving away more in the next three weeks, so I know where I'll be when they hit.

Still can't believe I got such a "rare" figure for free. But like I said, I got more coming. I'll let you know.

No kidding, that should have been front page news here.

Dang, I wish they'd do this in BC! Still interested if someone wants to help, send me a PM!

Wow, the fact that they gave away so many so fast makes my dream of getting one of these very faint.

Like I said earlier, PM me if you can help.

If you guys can find a link that sells them on a Chevy website that still has them in stock I'll gladly post it.
