    Hopefully, you also have a few other orders coming in at that time to get the free shipping. Otherwise, single shipments under $150  from TCP have gotten pricey. 

    Good to know. I should have one or two items showing up in March that will push shipment order above $150.

    I ordered from the chosenprime. They got unit 01 2-3 weeks ago. They also seem to be getting a lot of threezero products pretty fast. 

    Thanks! Remember skipping The Chose Prime because BBTS was a little cheaper. Guess I will put in my pre-order for Unit 02 with TCP and see what happens.

    I think you'll be quite impressed with the Unit 01 from threezero in-hand. Excellent heft, and a good amount of articulation, but could be better. The size is also great at around 9 inches. The color in-hand is also quite true to the movies with a satinish / pearl like shimmer to the paint. No erroneous gimmicks or over-engineering going on here. Just a good solid, heavy EVA that feels like a metal pole that is articulated.

    Thanks for sharing your impressions! Hopefully the figure reaches US retailers soon. HLJ got their stock today because it went from 'Order Stop' to 'Discontinued'. 

    Did you order directly from ThreeZero? Seems like this figure has been slow to reach retailers.

    God I feel like such a moron for not keeping my Iron Fist pre-order at BBTS. They've already bumped the price up to $110 and they don't even have their stock in yet, most sites are already sold out and aftermarket prices are already reaching $150. Same thing happened with KGBeast, which I did get for retail at BBTS, he sold out immediately and blew up to $200. These are both regular releases, what is happening? Are some of these characters really just selling out like this or are there less being made? Gambit and Two-Face too, pre-orders are open for months at a time, then they seem to immediately sell out as soon as they actually release. 

    I went ahead and grabbed a harlequin classic suit Harley on Amazon because surprise, surprise, she too is now disappearing at retail. 

    The regular release Mezco's seem to be hit or miss and I imagine alot of people hold-off pre-ordering until a review goes up. In Iron Fist's case the reviews were so good everyone jump on the remaining pre-orders and the value of the figure is going through the roof. Same thing might have happened to KGBeast. Then there are other times you are stuck with a dud like Cable that can't pose or hold the weapons. Might need to get a Ghost Rider pre-order if any are still available incase that one is amazing too. 

    Just my opinion as an outsider looking in.

    There's a few more Slugfest drops to happen next week if your interested @General Rasp. 

    Here's what was posted on another Mezco thread: " They also posted that March 18th there will be a drop, this is almost certainly the stuff that the Gomez Bodega Box hinted at in there. Black Skull brigade, some soft goods pack, another bakers dozen etc. So at least they gave a long heads up for that." 

    Yeah, I will try for the other exclusives cause I am a gluon for punishment. Plus the Black Skulls in D amazing's review look pretty cool. 

    Do you know the source of that post? I saw another post on twitter that is similar.

    The Robo-dou will be my first ThreeZero product also and I am eager to have it in hand. Yes, it is more expensive than the Robot Sprits but has more paint and better sculpt work. My concern is the build quality for this line. Based on reviews, the ThreeZero transformers are well built with great articulation and paint. Hopefully the Robo-dou is more like the Transformers line than their earlier work. As long as the figure can pose without issue the money will be well worth for me.  

    And Sentinel is pricing me out too. For the price they charge I expect to move an arm or leg without pieces falling off.

    Not really. It's still available at certain places. If anything, I think the threezero Evas might take the attention away from it. 

    When I was looking a few weeks ago I was having trouble finding a store state side that had open pre-orders. I couldn't find an available pre-order but did find an eBay seller that had one at retail price ($190) with free shipping. Looks like the figure is in stock on at most US stores.

    I have a Threezero Eva 1 on pre-order at BBTS, really looking forward to that figure also. Wish I would have ordered through ThreeZero's store.

    Considering the EVA design is similar across all the units and they already have the mold, Bandai probably already has plans for other units. I can see them doing the "base" of every unit, even the Mark VI. I don't think we would get of the crazy EVA equipment designs though. Like mentioned above they would be massive. Plus the Dynaction EVA 1 sold out, so they won't be shelf warmers. 

    My pipe dream would be see the Mass Production Eva with wings and a spear, completely over the top and far to big to display other than from hanging from the ceiling. :D

    Have you got a shipping email saying the Black Krig is on the way @General Rasp?  I'll be getting my copy on Wednesday if the estimate is correct. 

    Hmmm.... The only thing that was teased sometime ago and not yet up for pre-orders yet is Bishop and the Big Chap. Not going to pre-order them anyways, but I'm more curious as what else it will be bundled up with (besides the pics that where shown already).    

    I got my shipping notification too and it should show up Wednesday also. Looking forward to getting a new rumble society figure. Still wondering if Mezco is going to actually use that crypto cog.

    Forgive me, I'm not seeing the info. When do these go on sale? Thanks!

    So I don't think Bandai has released a pre-order date for the Dynaction Eva 2 yet, only that information will be coming soon.

    The Robot Spirits however is available for pre-order here https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000145955/?_ga=2.70193875.251868109.1615211245-1576291112.1614000627 but it is P-Bandai. Hopefully P-Bandai USA will offer pre-orders.

    I actually picked up the set right away when it was up @General Rasp and it was still avaible for grabs one hour later.  Full damage at $305 CND to ship to British Columbia. 

    Was on "Waitlist/Sold out" when I checked back at 1:30 PM PST. 

    Same here, picked one up right away. Guess we didn't have to worry too much since it didn't sell out for a couple hours. I have a good amount of rewards points for Mezco and was hoping to use them. But at checkout it didn't give me that option so that's a bummer considering the price tag.

    The Crypto-Cog is interesting and I wonder if they are actually going to use it. Aside from the first or second time.
