The original versions of the MB EVA units were basically in line with other retailers. These 2020 versions though, BBTS is doing a nearly 200 dollar markup before taxes and all that. It's kind of insane, especially when you can just cut them out of the middle and get it right from the source. Pre-orders are still open on the 02, so I would classify this as not at all hard to get. Even the repaint of 01, with some crap bundled with it, can be bought today off Bluefin's site and it saves you like 100-120 dollars.

HEY!  the only thing we bundled with the Eva 01 was love and happiness... and a pair of NXEdge figures

Lol! Take it as constructive criticism. Your website needs improvement by a lot. While you guys are here, what happened to the Metal Build Blue Frame 2nd and Alternative Strike Launcher pack? It never showed up for pre-order here.

We are always looking to improve. The emoji was a playful reactions to the comment. Only one person cried during our lunch meeting when it was brought up. The rest of us stood strong, and ate in reflective silence as we internally mapped out how to be better.

We have inquired about the other 2 items you mentioned, but have not heard anything back yet. As soon as we know something we will be sure to post it up. This will be the first P-Bandai Metal Build for us, so it may dictate what future releases we get.

Bluefin's website did crash before and their website is crap to begin with and is very slow. This time, p-bandai USA is hosting the PO. So while crashing is still possible, at least it's not as bad as Bluefin.

@BluefinBrandsIt would have been better though if you guys announced that it will be made available prior to the preorders in Japan going live. You didn't need a specific date of when but as long as we were aware it will happen, that would have been good enough.

Going forward, I believe a lot of us would appreciate it if that were to happen.

We were told we could sell it about 5 minutes before we put it live. We were hoping we were going to be able to sell it, but didn't want to promise anything we weren't able to deliver on.

Guess there wasn't as much hype or the MB Snow white as they are still open for preorders on Bluefin.

The hype is very real. We just got a better share of them for the US than most metal builds. They are almost sold out though.

This is great news! And welcome to MacrossWorld, @BluefinBrands!

By the way, since no one asked this. What are the chances that you guys might carry MACROSS stuff from Bandai?

 

It's a licensing thing. We have several people in our office that actively track the status of the U.S. license.  

There was  a decent amount of people on our site and "macrossworld.com" was listed as the referring domain. Saw a lot of people talking about it, and wanted to get the word out.

Hi everyone, this is Bluefin. There was an error, and the item was never meant to go live. However, this was our error, and we intend to fill the orders that were placed. This item was a pre-order, and should ship closer to the end of the year. There was no nefarious intentions in the posting of the item, it was simply an error on our end. It is impressive that you guys found the page, as it was not meant to be listed and had no image or description. We knew we had the best fans, but now we know we also have the cleverest. 

We have been striving to increase the number of Metal Builds that come into the US, and if more become available, we will let you know. The item will still be allocated to our partner stores, and they should be doing their order in the coming weeks. 

If you placed an order through us, you should be getting an email from our Customer Service in the next day or so. 

Thanks!
