i like it (the box that i had suggested).

too bad about the cg work but you're right w/o hires pics its no sense even looking at them.

thats one idea..i would keep the verticals as is but swap the top of the box with the combined cokcpit image (that would be the only place where the word m+ would be written)

flattened out the spine does stick out but when folded up i like it.

or instead of schematics try out some of teh cg work posted a few pages back

what aobut the last option but swap the cockpit images with the schematic, and replace the spine with just the coloured desert background

i prefer the original coloured desert spine

i like the m+ logo on the top, followed by the pic of the trio. not a fan of the sharon logo

the line art of the mechs may be a little cluttered. the schematic work is neat. still like some of the cg pics posted about 2 pages back.

nice work. none of these comments are meant to imply any kind of 'bashing'.

i need a j-friend to help me order the Asuka figure. please please please please please please please please please please. arigato.

edit - like jwinges my terms are the same. obvsiouly i would pay for the mag, the figure, the shipping for the figure,etc.

edit2 - i can also probably get my hands on a box of the grimlok rei/asuka pack if anyone needs it.

wow. so many combos now. i like some of the cg stuff posted 2 pages back. not a fan of having macross plus emblazoned on all sides of the box. and i still want the dessert spine image.

IF anyone has these that can sell them to me or something please PM me and let me know.

seriously me as well. we need japanese friends to help!!

i really want it :|

is anyone from japan who's willing to order the asuka figure on my behalf? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?

also was that link for HLJ for the EVA school figures the one where they are sitting at their desk or the one where they are cleaning up? there is no picture in the listing so i'm not sure which one is being offered.

Maybe I'm missing something, but where/how/whatever can I get the super poseable Rei and Asuka figures?

rei was a bonus item that came with volume 9 of the japanese edition EVA manga. asuka it appears is a mail-away if you buy the magazine and send money.

please post links when they become available i really like the classroom setup

the USC snowspeeder is absolutely killer.

where does one order these latest batch of rei/asuka goodies?

and where's that poseable asuka?

edit - well this sucks:

"For Evangelion (and Keroro Gunso - Sgt Frog) fans, the December 2004 issue of Shonen Ace-A magazine (on sale 26 October 2004) will come with a coupon to apply for an Asuka action figure by Masaki Apsy, who also created the Rei action figure which came with the first limited edition of volume 9 of the Evangelion manga. Here's another pic of the Asuka figure. Note: the magazine does not come with the figure - instead, the magazine will contain a coupon. You'll need to cut out the coupon and send it in (with money - it's not a freebie) to purchase the figure. Source: Mangaoh Club. Presumably applications won't be accepted from overseas... The December 2004 issue will also come with an Afro Gunso strap."

yay more fodder for ebay

The Star Wars set sold 115 million dollars worth in one day.

perhaps this thread should be re-titled to warn people of the mega spoilers being posted

but wouldn't the color of the Lightsaber of the little kids yoda is training in EP2 be the same then?

stop using logic!

that or perhaps the little kids were at an advanced grade and could handle a live saber

unless you get the limited matrix set which comes in a see thru cube, a mini bust of neo, and a collectors book

there's a ten disc matrix dvd set coming out.

... ten? Isn't that a tad excessive for a movie series like that?

is the Asuka poseable figure available for preorder?

i'm glad i have the SE version. i can live with the mislabeled covers..sucks for those who ordered the regular discs.

Check out these insane customs someone did based off the exclusive Rei (and upcoming Asuka) figure...

asuka? where? when??

Why in ANH when Ben gives Luke his father's lightsaber its blue. Later on when Luke is practicing on the Falcon it starts out green? What happened here?

thank god i'm not the only person who noticed this. its a definite greenish-white hue on the falcon

never underestimate the japanese' ability to milk a franchise.
