Glad we didn't get an even more radical re-design like in the upper right

That's basically a mass production eva with a purple re-color 

Glad they shut that idea down

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.

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. 

SOLD

Maybe to avoid legal action? Not really sure but  there are full resin kits in the past that are in 1/72 scale as well

I've read in the past that this is the reason. Since Bandai only does 1/100 or 1/60, the 1/72 scale helps to get around copyright issues.

You don’t have to pay up front at cdj if you use a cc. 

They still put a hold on the funds is my understanding?

Either Eva is waaaay more popular than I thought or Bandai purposefully made a lower production number than their Gundam metal builds. 

I think I’m just gonna stick with CDJapan in the future. I don’t mind paying upfront if it means at least having a shot at getting one.

Hi All, 

Ended up securing two pre-orders for this in an anxiety-driven rush, and want to let go of my order from From Japan. I'm asking $230 shipped to lower 48, which will cover the shipping and proxy fees that I will incur to have it shipped to North America. 

Please let me know if you are interested. I will provide proof of purchase via PM. 

I have been nominated to the SSL multiple times over the years. Thanks!

There is a reason why that is still available for Pre-order haha

Do you mind sharing where I can get still order one with "good price"?

 

Edit: never mind, just found "From Japan".

Let me know if you still need help. They have a lot of auctions going for around 21,000 yen. It's a premium but better than some of the absurd prices people on ebay are asking. 

It looks less weird when posed but I too shall be passing. Are those armor parts canon to the Rebuild movies? I don’t recall seeing them prior.

Just need more news about that Crossbone.

Finally found a good price for this on From Japan proxy services, glad I have an order confirmed 

Put some stuff up in the WTB section (aile strike, destiny), let me know if anyone is interested in selling.

Hi All, looking for the following. Want to pay around $300 shipped for each, let me know:

Metal Build Aile Strike

Metal Build Destiny Full Package

Arcadia YF-19

Arcadia VF-0A

Bandai DX VF-1J pre-order if you’ve got one you’re willing to let go.

Bandai DX  YF-19 pre-order (willing to do $320 for this one).

I would prefer MIB but am negotiable.

Thanks!

What is that head lol, it’s so narrow relative to the rest of the body. 

Not sure how I feel about a robot parrot on a supposedly giant mecha, but I can't miss this lol

Hi Everyone, the item has been sold, apologies for not updating the thread sooner.

I guess the MB Aile Strike release was kind of a dud. I'm starting to regret buying it.

What do you mean? It's still sold out almost everywhere I look (without a markup at least).
