Universe Chevy Aveo Swerve Giveaway Release Dates:

Hmm, maybe I should consider a field trip to Toronto.

Can someone help me out? I'd really appreciate it if someone would be willing to help me get one of these figures?

Please PM me if you can help.

So what they're only doing this in Toronto? They're not going to any other malls in the GTA? Specifically North GTA? Specifically Barrie?

They may very well have done it in Barrie, or close to it. They said they were doing this for a while; we only just now learned of it.

wow, i had to pay $130 last year for this gu -_- well whoever gets Swerve is one damn lucky guy, he has a really nice transformation and also here is my review of this guy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JYwZ9DnG_M hope you guys enjoy it

and also since hes to promote the Transformers films, to me in my eyes hes Movie1 Swerve

Man i want one of these.

This guye pretty cool, too cool to promote the new film. He would be even cooler if he had weopons, provided they're just not shown!

If some one could get me one I would pay lots of money! Pm me if did.

Sweet. Gonna make my way over to Fairview Mall this coming Friday!

As a side note: Anyone who actually HAS one - what's his articulation like?

sooo, do you need to be a canadian resident

Worse, you need to live in the Greater Toronto Area (That's like something only available in LA to you Americans)

they might as well not have this promotion tehn if they dont want these figures to hit ebay they will sooner or later i bet my life on that.

These look nice.

Could someone help me out with getting one? Please PM me.

Thanks!

Uhm, I'm in Quebec and have no way of getting to anywhere in Ontario right now.
Is there anyone in Ontario that could lend me a hand, help me get one of these?
I'll definitely pay for shipping costs and such.

Hook me up please.

Someone hook me up too

PM me if anyone can, I'd reallly appreciate it!!

I understand the appeal of this figure, and I hope there are those who are actively filling th "hook me up" requests. However please be aware that given the severely limited numbers of this figure being released, the very limited geographical area of their release, and the fact that it's the same group of people in each venue meaning that if you show up multiple times, they're gonna know, means that the chances of people fulfilling your requests is VERY slim.

Heck I've got a buddy "within the industry" and I'm not certain even he can pull through for me.

We can dream, can't we?

I only want one, but it seems like this figure is going to be as hard to get as Galaxy Force Noisemaze.

I know a place that'll be sure to hook anyone up. Ebay!

So, anybody here willing to help me out?
Anybody here get him at one of the locations?
Willing to post some pics?

drove from cleveland to toronto with parents and wife to pick up some Swerves at Sherway Gardens and watch ROTF on IMAX. awesome holiday vacation. my brother and his wife went to sherway the day before around 2pm and they were all gone for the day. i got there before 12 and they still had some left. so if you're looking for them, get there early. the transformation is well done and different from any other transformer i've seen. i was half excpecting it to be a remold of an older toy, but they really went all out for this exclusive. The articulation for the robot mode is everything i expected from a modern toy. the neck is ball and socket except that it has a collar around it to restrict its rotation. it can't move around much, but it looks like it has an actual neck makes it look extra nice. if you can make it to toronto this month to pick it up, it is definitely worth the trip to pick up this exclusive that is unlike any other transformer available.

What are the chances one of my Canadian brothers can help a Michigander out? I know there are a lot of people asking for a hook up, but it doesn't hurt to try, right?

So far I've got five for some of the boys here. I'll do my best in the following weeks to get as many as I can to as many as I can.

Down_Shift, my man, if you would be so kind, I could do with a hook up. PM me with the details.

If you are able, I could use some help as well.
Care to PM me if you can help?

If I can snag two more, then I will for sure.

Down_Shift wrote:If I can snag two more, then I will for sure.

Sorry to place a burden on you, but if you are able to get an extra, let me know.

I got screwed on my paycheck this week and they refuse to correct it. They won't give me the rest for another 2 weeks, but I should be able to pay as long as the price is reasonable once I get my next check.

'Twould be much appreciated. Let me know via PM and we can work something out as far as compensation.

Down_Shift (who incidentally gets my vote for nicest guy on the board) attempted to snag one for me, but was kicked out because they thought he was a scalper. Is there anyone who has an extra Swerve or is planning on picking up some more? PM me if you can help me out. I'd be forever in your debt. Well, for a week at least .

Thanks again, Down_Shift for the effort.

Well, we kind of made him our scalper, our robot pimp so speak. Still though, he had the best of intentions.

Is anyone headed to Fairview this weekend that would be willing to snag a Swerve for me? Thanks!

You guys do realize that, according to the "rules" set forth in the first post, anyone nice enough to "hook you up" is pretty much guaranteeing that he or she won't even be able to get a toy for him/herself, don't you?

I wouldn't make such a deal before at least ensuring that I could get one for myself....

Isn't this the same guy who FunPub didn't want to let into BotCon '07 because they completely lost all record of his registration?

Yup, though things were sorted out in the end.

I know, I was just gently ribbing my fellow News Crew member

Down_Shift was able to get his hands on several. I was merely hoping someone as nice as him was out there that maybe had an extra.

I've seen a couple that at least claim to be able to get multiples (I don't dispute it. I just have no way to verify). But the original post really seems to indicate that's a no-no. I, for one, wouldn't be comfortable snagging extras, even if technically possible, if I knew that the folks giving the toys away didn't really want me to....

But perhaps I'm just misinterpreting the intentions....

It's only supposed to be one per customer. Evidently someone talked them into giving them 3 "for friends" and immediately put them all on ebay. So they feel annoyed.

Not to mention bringing up painful memories too boot. Oh, who am I kidding, that weekend was awesome even if they did screw me.

As for the one per person, that is true. However so long as you fill out a survey for someone else they'll happily give you another. Or have your cousin and her boyfriend go and pick up one each. You can even guilt trip an old couple into taking the survey. You tell them they could win a new car and that you'd like the toy. Ontario is good like that/ See, lots of ways to get more then one.

Why just today I sent one figure each to MKall, Cyber Bishop, Geekee1, Donkey Punch, and Autobuck. All for the insanely high price of free.

If I can manage to get more then I will do the same for others, however my schedule is pretty busy this weekend so I don't think I'll get to get another chance.

Thanks for the offer of assistance anyways, mate. You done a good deed
Heck, that's what Canadians do! We help people!

I do believe that your handsomeness is beginning to rival that of even Counterpunch. Quite the feat you handsome man.

You know it. I'm still making calls to the "fam" to get off there lazy asses and pick more of these up. It's my new goal to get these bad boys out to as many as I can.

Pffft, rival? I taught that kid how to walk and talk swarthy! Birds of a feather and all that jazz.

Free? My good man, I'll pay double that! Triple even!

I've been doing all I can to get in touch with folks I know in Ontario to help me out, but it seems like all my good connections have left the GTA. My cousin moved to Dubai. My Godmum's daughter moved to London (Ontario, not the cool one ).

hey if anybody can hook me up with a swerve I'd greatly appreciate it. Let me know via pm.

A big ask, but likewise, I'll gladly compensate people for their time.

You're a gentleman and a scholar, sir.
