No, just the one from HLJ last night for my friend. You? I wonder if @Kanedas Bike joined the battle last night? Hey B! You PO'ed the Eva last night? Quote

I know how that feels. Especially on how you will feel and face the frustrations that came afterwards and the upcoming hunt after that. Anyways, let's hope that one or two will pop up one of these days. So make sure you turn on those email notifications from stores and ofcourse don't forget to check this thread from time to time. Good luck sir! Quote

Thank you Noel for your reply much appreciated will definitely check the forums for any opportunity, also will be checking the local websites to see if any appears. Quote
F360 Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 more preorder reopening will pop up and then there's the USA websites that should pop up in a couple of days. It's best to "follow" this thread so you will get a email alerts when someone post a link. Quote
eggy99 Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 if the Metal Build AILE Strike is anything to go by, you will see preorders opening up again during the week of release - so be ready in February. And yes there is also the local distributors (Bluefin) which will probably supply it to US hobby retailers. For a big brand like Evangelion, I imagine there will be a lot of interest from western hobby retailers. My feeling is that Evangelion has a larger western audience than Macross or Gundam. Quote

But tax kills it for me ($25 more) maybe that's the reason it lasted so long too. also US amazon preorders aren't a sure thing either, they cancelled some of my Dragonball preorders before.... and they are just SH figuarts.

brouken Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 While I enjoy this toy collecting hobby immensely, I'm saddened by the blatant profiteering involved in it. I feel sorry for those who were not able to get toys like these at close to retail price. Capitalism at its worst. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 FYI, the new P-Bandai website is up, but nothing on it yet worth noting. https://p-bandai.com/ Quote
eXis10z Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Wow NY is ruthless. Almost double the PO. Quote

I feel sorry for those who were not able to get toys like these at close to retail price. Capitalism at its worst. QFT right here. I feel a lot more people would be able to participate if it was just easier to purchase the darn things at normal retail price. All it takes is a quick peek at eBay with $400+ pre-orders to see that some people have turned the hobby into a side-business. Edited September 4, 2018 by Archer Quote
eXis10z Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Sad to say this is a common phenomena for anything with collectible value, not just toys. Quote

electric indigo Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Glad we didn't get an even more radical re-design like in the upper right Quote

General Rasp Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 I imagine we will be getting Unit 0 and 02 considering how fast the pre-orders are selling out. But I wonder if we will the Mass Production Eva, the wing span for the metal build would be huge. Quote

kajnrig Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Despite all I've said already, I'd love to see an MP Eva in this style. Quote

General Rasp Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Honestly there isn't a Metal Build Eva I would say no to. I do wonder if Bandai will be putting out options set for various weapons or accessories. Could we a Lance of Longinus in Metal Build scale or a version of the sniper rifles? I don't think we would get a direct TV or Movie version since everything coming with Unit 01 is unique to the Metal Build. Quote
pafy6285 Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 MB Eva currently available at Mykombini for 24990 (pay later option): https://mykombini.com/en/february-2019/12458-metal-build-evangelion-eva-01-test-type-bandai-spirits-4573102550408.html Quote

I didn't even see it before it was sold out. 5 minutes ago, no3Ljm said: I always tell myself, this is NOT for me. Stay strong @no3Ljm. Myself, I am not strong.

And I'm more connected with Macross, Orguss, Dunbine, L-Gaim, and Gundam than Evangelion. So there's that. And I think BBTS were open 30mins or less. Edited September 5, 2018 by no3Ljm Quote

No no , I’m sure it’s just Eva . If bbts has it for $239 then all the other USA stores should be opening preorders soon. Just need to decide which store to preorder from . Quote

Loop Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Got one in at The chosen prime, how reliable are they with these types of items? Quote

This will be metal build #3 with them. They get all their items from bluefin, so it will be fulfilled, just be prepared to wait a month to two after Japanese release. Quote
