Actually, I'm in the Netherlands. And you're welcome!

I'm guessing you're in the UK, alldarker? Thanks for posting the info.

Ughh… Still no news of my order. Might have to give them a call, when my two Swerve's are going to be delivered…
EDIT:
OK, so I did call them. It sounded like quite a small office, doing the Chevrolet merchandise for the whole of Europe, probably. Their service was very good, though: the guy doing the Chevrolet orders wasn't at his desk, but he called me back after only 5 minutes. He told me they had indeed been swamped with the Aveo orders, much to their surprise(!)
They weren't used to such a huge mass of orders (literally hunderds), so they were still working off all the orders. Anyway, making a long story short, they will probably be shipping their last Aveo TF orders this week (including mine), so if you did order and haven't received it yet, chances are you will get it this week or next…

If I had known I would have ordered you one.
But I'll just have to sit here and admire the one I got, standing next to Animated Bumblebee

Yeah, Deluxe sized. Here's a group shot I put together with my Classics Autobots:

Scale that thing up and it's Alternator quality. Man, how I wish.

No irony there… the Aveo is korean.

Any chance we'll see this state side? Seeing how Chevys are American Made cars (I hate irony).

Thanks for putting me at easy, slightly. I guess they are pretty big. I'm at work right now, and chances are that while I was typing away my worries, the postman was at my door. Anyhow, if I haven't received my order same time next week, that's when I'll really start worrying!

I think you're being paranoid. You have to remember they are a huge corporation and you can imagine the volume of mail they must recieve.

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.

My Swerve turned up a couple of days ago and I have to say, it was a miracle that it wasn't destroyed in the post.
It was packaged in one of the cardboard sleeves that Amazon uses to send books. Which doesn't sound too bad until you udnerstand that the box was too small for the figure and that most of the packaging was torn because of this
As it turns out, my figrue didn't get damaged but I can imagine other people in the UK not being so lucky.
Also, I ordered two of them, I figured that I could get one for myself and one to offer people on here. They sent me one item and haven't taken payment for it yet. I am waiting to see if they charge for two items and if so, I will be getting very angry with somebody, somewhere
As for the figure itself, its the sunny side of meh. It kinda sits nicely with TF:TM deluxes like BB and Swindle which puts it firmly in the deluxe category for me. Transformation is simple and looks a damn sight better than some of the movie drone bots. Worth a purchase if you can get it for around $30 but I wouldn't pay any more for it.

Me likey toy, me want toy, but no have money or can figure out foreign shipping charge. Lame. If anyone can figure that out and let me know I'd be much obliged.

Decent bot mode, but not enough to spend good money on that crappy looking alt mode.

Damn. I really want that figure but to go through that whole international charge and shipping crap would have made it waaaay too expensive. If anybody reading this is going to Botcon, ask Hasbro if they're gonna use this mold in the Universe (or any other) line or at least make it easily available to folks in other countries.
ORIO
I'm wondering this too
airfox
I also want it. Hopefully someone has it for sale at Botcon.

I need that figure. But I would not pay more than $25.

Nice pics!
But of course, I want one, too

Any pics of him with other figures? I'm guessing that he is roughly deluxe scale?
