God wept when he saw this. I know it. Too bad you have to buy a disposable car to get a toy car. I reckon the TF will last longer, and hold resale much longer.

Hmmmm, so, in essence, a 10,000$ TF...roughly...
How much is an Aveo?

For the love of Primus, you make a car to give away with its' full size counterpart, and you pick the bread-box Aveo.

Agreed.
But, what kind of prices do you think they'll run for?

I wonder if I can get one from my friends Dad??? She is my best friend and her wedding is in a week!! I think I have to talk to him about this... That is my best bet!! He owns the place so I don't see why I couldn't get one without getting the car...

He damn well better be available in TF Universe (as the instructions would suggest.)

Now that I think about it, I wouldn't mind one of those myself. If nothing else it'd keep my Swerve collection complete.

The fact that the instructions say its part of the universe line makes me wonder if they wont bring it out mainstream in the future... they might just de-badge it or something and release it to the general populus..

amazing isnt it... this is the one figure i've seen in a while that i would actually like and its a limited edition... lol... maybe its just that i want it cause i cant have it or something...

If no one noticed, this particular robot is from Chevy's "Transformers: Rise of the Chevy Autobots" promotion that started sometime before the movie came out. They had an online game featuring several "original" designs. http://chevyautobot.com/ Been wondering how long it would take for them to make these into actual toys.

the hatchback aveos are much nicer. My wife drives one and likes it very much...

would be interesting to see how many units were produced and we might also see this appear overseas.

Takara doesn't like to do small runs of toys especially if its going to be a new mold unless they can use it elsewhere.

Also curious to see how much these will go for on ebay, he might end up being common enough.
