Anubis Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 woo woo, just got mine in from Tokyo Central, so anyone else who ordered from them might want to keep an eye out. Also got in my Rei and Asuka China Dress figures yesterday (damn you Anubis), very very nice. Told you the China Dress figures were good. Quote
wolfx Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 I bought the winter figures which are supposed to be 20cm in height... Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 I bought the winter figures which are supposed to be 20cm in height... isn't there a set of winter figures that came with the mangas that were about that height? Quote
MrDisco Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 I bought the winter figures which are supposed to be 20cm in height... isn't there a set of winter figures that came with the mangas that were about that height? there were 2 sets of christmas edition figures of Asuka and Rei (one set one year, another set the following year). each figure was packaged with a book so you had to buy 2 copies of the manga to get both figures (and again for the next set) Quote
Jolly Rogers Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 there were 2 sets of christmas edition figures of Asuka and Rei (one set one year, another set the following year). each figure was packaged with a book so you had to buy 2 copies of the manga to get both figures (and again for the next set) Hmm, I was only aware of 1 set. Do you have pictures of the most recent set? Which volume of Eva manga did they come bundled with? Quote
wolfx Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 I bought the winter figures which are supposed to be 20cm in height... isn't there a set of winter figures that came with the mangas that were about that height? THe winter figures were only no more than 10 cm in height. Its probbaly less. Around slightly taller than the current Rei figure. Heck, they were even smaller than your Sega Prize stuff. These are 23 cm. Quote

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Vol 7 of the Eva Manga came out in 2 versions one with Asuka and one with Rei dressed in Xmas clothing, and are about the same size as the rei perfect figure. The picture that Wolfx posted are the winter wear figures made by sega and they are slightly smaller then the china dress figures also made by Sega. I can post pics if people want to see em.

trueblueeyes Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Anyone know of any U.S. e-tailers that have them in stock still? I'd like to order one even if her hips do rival those of my mother-in-law's. Quote

jwinges Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 You might want to try animenation. Or else your local comic book store. I have one on order at a local store $34.00. Supposedly they ordered several but who knows if they will get them all. Dimond says they were shorted on their orders so there might be store that don't get any at all. Plus if you go with the diamond release expect a 3-4 week wait. Vol 8 was just released. Quote
ObiJ Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Hi I'm trading my rei figure please if you are interested, go to the trade section of the forums THANKS Quote

Sumdumgai Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 If any of you live in Paris, France, there's a store that has these Rei figures in right now. It's called Junkudo, close to the Opera. They have the figures for €32. There were two small piles of these figures in boxes... Quote
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Give me a little bit and I will post comparison pictures, gotta setup the camera again. Rob Quote

If TC's not going to send me my figure, then send me my damn money back!! I got mine last week after ordering right when they got their stock in. However, I placed another order a few days later and it hasn't arrived yet ... I'm guessing the holidays over in Japan are the reason. Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 Rei and Asuka Grimlock Figures.... Asuka looks a little like Roll from Rockman That might be because of the blonde hair though Quote

When you guys refer to TC, which store is that? Sorry, I'm kind of "Out of the loop" with all these new stores Is there any other place that I can still order the Rei figure? Thanks, guys. Quote
Vostok 7 Posted May 11, 2004 Author Posted May 11, 2004 Rei and Asuka Grimlock Figures.... OMG I want those!! So Kawaii!! Vostok 7 Quote
Renato Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 Two or three weeks ago I was in a shop which was called simply "TOY". It was on the fifth floor or so of this building. Anyway, I walked in to find, to my surprise, it was actually a porno manga shop. However, among all the hentai paraphenalia, they had lots of these Perfect Rei figures around... I'm no Evangelion fan so it could have been another figure, but I distinctly remember it was very poseable, and the packaging does look similar. I remember taking a good look at it because I thought to myself, "Hmm... this looks quite nice... Even though I have no interest in Eva I could buy this..." And also the fact that I often go to hobby and model shops but I'd never seen that figure before.... Hmm indeed. Now where was that shop again..? Can't remember... And I don't particularly want to ask directions to a hentai shop... I repeat, be aware that I may be mistaken. Quote

I got mine from kinokuniya at Japan retail price. Which is good. Bad news is, TC has no response yet. They apparently charged my credit card....but no news on shipping whatsoever yet. And its already almost 2 weeks. I sent them a complaint that if its still not shipped, I want it cancelled.....but I just found out my credit card got charged....phooey. Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 Message for Order A41ODIOHNNHDate: 5/13/2004 From: TokyoCentral SHIPPING Message: ------------------------------------ Thank you for your order and patience. We apologize for the delay in providing this update regarding your recent order with TokyoCentral. This message confirms that TokyoCentral processed and finalized your order on Tuesday, April 27 2004. As always, it does take us 2-4 'business' days to process and ship an order for a stocked product. The Japan Post claims international mail every other business days. Unfortunately, from April 29 to May 5, the Japanese celebrate four national holidays that fall back-to-back. As part of this, the holidays fall before and after a weekend, making the holiday nearly one week long. Being four national holidays, nearly every company and government office takes 6 consecutive days off from work. With the holiday approaching fast and our company being in the midst of relocating before April 29, we unfortunately did not have enough time to ship all orders before Golden Week (the last business day of April 28). While we did make every effort to ship by April 28, it was honestly impossible for us to accomplish before Golden Week. We sincerely apologize for this. However, your order did ship on the next business day in Japan. Unfortunately, the next business after April 28 was May 6th. We hope you can understand that certain aspects of the Japanese culture, such as long, unavoidable national holidays, will affect delivery times. We sincerely appreciate your patience with Japanese customs. We apologize for any inconvenience Golden Week may have caused to the normal delivery of your order. Golden Week is an unavoidable event in Japan, and unfortunately, many high demand products release right before the holiday as many Japanese citizens shop over the long holiday. Your order departed on May 6 2004. Please expect delivery in approximately 1 to 2 weeks of this date. If you have questions or if we can be of any assistance, please contact us at your convenience. Thank you for your business and patience. We hope the package reaches you quickly and without further delay. Regards, TokyoCentral http://www.tokyocentral.com =========================== Secure URL to Your TC Account: https://www.tokyocentral.com/mytc/ =========================== I was just wondering if anyone else got this email. I'm just asking because it's been....ABOUT DAMN TIME they send this crap out!!!!!! Quote
eriku Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 I've gotten no emails from TC whatsoever since I placed my order. I know it's a small operation and I know holidays really can delay shipments, but that doesn't mean (prompt) email updates for everyone with an order are an impossibility. I'm too used to the professional service that I've always gotten from places like BBTS, Blasto and VEX. I doubt I'll order from TC again in the future. Quote

Dat Pinche Haro! Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 Did you guys (eriku and wolfx) make preorders back in December? I did, so maybe that's I got this "confirmation" email from them. Or maybe it's because of that one long ass bitchy (but polite) email I sent them during Golden Week . But seriously, after this is finished, I'm NEVER ordering from them again. I know shitty sellers on ebay who are more prompt than TC is Quote
