twinmoons Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 (edited) BTW folks, we've got the eva trading figures in stock and are now taking pre-orders for the "Grimlock" figures. Here are the links: Evangelion Rei and Asuka Wonder Showcase "Grimlock" Figure Set PREORDER Evangelion Video Game Trading Figure We also just got the Seaside Figures in: Evangelion Seaside Figure - Asuka Evangelion Seaside Figure - Misato Evangelion Seaside Figure - Rei I noticed that some of those places overseas that were offering the Grimlock figures were charging upwards of $30 or so for the set. Fortunately these will be available in the States and our pre-order price for them is only $16.99 per set! We also had the Pinky Street figures on pre-order, but boy, those suckers went REALLY fast! Best Regards, Tam Edited June 25, 2004 by twinmoons Quote
eriku Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 anyone else have the complete eva kubrick line in there collection? Just completed mine actually, it took a while to score the first set since even non-Evangelion fans are after it (it was the first Kubrick set ever). The Kubricks are the highlight of my Evangelion collection, even over the SOCs and Perfect Rei. Quote

I am assuming they will be the same exact figures in the same exact packaging though. Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 What about this Asuka figure?http://members.jcom.home.ne.jp/gareki-doluck/kinnkyou1.htm isn't this a hentai statue? i remember seeing one of rei a long time ago...that one was a hentai statue Quote

This is that I believe, ort at least a similar take. BTW: the Sega Summer Ex Rei and Asuka Swimsuit figures are out now, and like usual most places are already sold out. Not as good as my Kotubukia statues so no concern to me though. Not bad figures though. Asuka Edited June 25, 2004 by Anubis Quote

I think i will give the onsen figures a miss though. I'm beginning to reconsider the onsen figures as well. With all the other figures coming (inc. the grimrocks at Twin Moons for cheap), and the ones I already have, I may not really need the onsen pack. Maybe. The Party Time and Christmas figures I'm definately getting no matter what. Quote
Godzilla Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Party time looks cool. Xmas doesnt look so bad. Party time Asuka reminds me of Asuka in the Chinese dress. I will get the grimrock set. You can thank me for having Twin moons having it. I inquired and he looked. I am not a big Eva fan but I will reconsider some figures. What I would like to see is those NERV/UN hover fighters. That looks so cool. Or that huge turboprop plane that launches that big missile. Better yet, the big air transporter. Quote
FlyingPika Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Does any1 know where i can get the pinky rei and auska without having to pay the $50 on ebay ? they must of been released while i was writing exams *cry* does any1 know if HLJ will restock????? Quote

Well, we WERE offering them for only $17.99, but we sold out real quick. Diamond Comics, the U.S. Distributor has said that they aren't expecting any more within the next 6 months though, so it will be pretty hard for us to re-stock. I wouldn't go paying $50 for them though; that's pretty outrageous. I'm pretty sure they will be state-side again soon. Edited June 25, 2004 by twinmoons Quote

wolfx Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 To all the people who have bought from Hobby search....how do you cancel an order? I want to cancel the onsen figures but can't find a cancel option. Quote

Just E-mail them with the order # and they'll cancel the order for you. I canceled the Crytal Zaku pre-order I made last week. He responded right away. Quote

I sent an order cancellation for the onsen figures which has the same order as the party time figures to hs-support@1999.co.jp (Is that right? Or should I send to hs-order@1999.co.jp? Hope they don't cancel both instead. Quote
nhyone Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 HLJ just got the Seaside Set in. Misato is nice in that one. Just a note. HLJ sells the seaside set for 4200 yen. This is way higher than the norm on Yahoo Japan -- 1600 yen to 2100 yen. Didn't realize it until too late. (Of course, once you add in deputy fees, the difference isn't so striking.) Quote

wolfx Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Anubis: 4 days and yet no reply from Hobby Search. I'm smelling something like Tokyo Central here...... Quote
Valkyrie Nut Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Are they worth ordering from HLJ? I'm actually hoping my local anime shop will get them in but I doubt they will Quote
Wabbit Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 I've got my Grimrock! Rei and Asuka and they are worth the price! They just look lovely and the figures are not that small (16.5 cm). Cute! Quote
Wabbit Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 You knew this was coming. If it is more detailed than the Rei, maybe... Quote
eriku Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 You knew this was coming. Yes! I was hoping Asuka would get the same treatment as Rei. Of course I won't be completely happy unless Shinji and Misato are next. Quote
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 Sweet, asuka is going super posable.... So what's the deal with this figure is it going to come out with another issue of the Manga? Rob Quote
wolfx Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 I just realised, is that a skull throne she's sitting on? Quote
Anubis Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 (edited) Sweet. Still don't know if I want to plunk down 30 bucks for each of them though. Awesome articulation, good detail, but damn they're pricey. Maybe Asuka's base is that damaged Angel statue? The Asuka figure looks good though can't deny that. For now I think I'll stick with my gashapons and the upcoming Sega plug suits I have on order. A shinji plug suit figure would would be nice too, but I at least have the one gashapon with him in casual with penpen. I find it strange there are more Kaoru figures than Shinji right now. Here are the sega plug suits: Rei Asuka I ended up canceling all my Sega pre-orders from Hobby Search after they started not answering e-mails. They never did email me back after all the letters I sent. Very pissed about that. I might get the Misato Onsen when Tam or Animecastle gets it. There's another gashapon set coming too. Not a bad set really, I at least want the Yui from this one. Edited September 23, 2004 by Anubis Quote
wolfx Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 Anubis: Hobby Search didn't reply either and luckily didn't send me the onsen figures despite it still being in my pending orders. But i made the bad decision to buy their Snow figures and its still status : waiting to be shipped, for 3 days. Beh Anyway, i'm planning to get that Eva sadamoto set 3. WIll be skipping the plug suit ones. Quote

Beh Anyway, i'm planning to get that Eva sadamoto set 3. WIll be skipping the plug suit ones. I sent two notices to cancel the Onsen figures, both of which went unanswered. I hoped they just did it and didn't bother to send a reply, but then I got an in stock notice and it was updated ready to ship. I sent a few angry notices to them, and now it's been in the same status for over a week and a half, but not charged or shipped, so I guess they got the message. For the poor communication (or complete lack thereof) I sent an email describing the recent events, my displeasure, and told them to cancel everything else, close my account, and remove my credit card. They still didn't respond, though they better have done what I said. I'll dispute the charge if they try to process anything once those other sets come out. The first few transactions I made went great, and they responded to any e-mails I sent. Starting in June they stopped communicating all together. Must have lost their good employee and replaced him with an idiot. Pathetic customer service now. Quite a shame because they have very good prices, and they don't gouge you on shipping. Just before all that happened when the Onsen set came out I bought a 1/6 PVC Belldandy from them and it processed just fine (though she was in waiting to ship status for like 5 days though. EMS as usual delivered her very fast once she finally left the dock.) Great prices, but if they no longer know how to answer a damn email I'm not buying from them. I'm still kind of iffy on the Sega plug suits. I'm planning on keeping the order in case I do like them, but I want to see more shots of the sculpt, and I don't know how big they are. If they end up like the school uniform set I bought and I don't really like it, then I'll sell it off too. Edited September 23, 2004 by Anubis Quote
MrDisco Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 is the Asuka poseable figure available for preorder? Quote
