I'm looking for a trusted member in Japan (preferably somebody I've heard of and is on the straitshooters list) who can help me get 2 of the new EVA Asuka poseable figures that will be in the Shonen Ace -A Magazine 10th Anniversary (the December 2004 issue) that goes on sale 10-26-04.

I'd be willing to make it worth your while to get me one of these fig's. I'll pay for the mags and the figures. Also Pay for all shipping to me in the USA and some extra for you (we can work that out).

Thanks

:D

Seems like no luck with members from Japan :(

I live in Hong Kong and they stock most of the Japanese comics and at similar prices as Japan, so perhaps I might be able to help ;) It would help if you could send me a picture of the book (or at least of a previous issue, so I know what to look for) or even the figure itself.

I just saw a new issue of comic book, where they were giving away EVA goodies, I believe it was a choice of calandar or key chains!

Even us members in Japan had a tough time finding the posable Rei. Stores just didnt get them in the numbers they ordered. So I`m not expecting to be able to find the Asuka either. Sorry.

are you talking about the REI that came with the manga? We had like tons of it over here in CA. Prices ranged from 24 to 35 for each. I'm hoping that I'll be able to find the asuka as that figure looks toit!! Is that figure coming in with the manga again? :huh:

I managed to find 3 more issues of Shonen Ace with the Asuka action figure cupon. If you want this send me an email. Price is going to be $24 plus shipping.

The shipping portion is going to be a big pain since the figs wont arrive till April next year(assuming there are no production delays) So I have no idea how much the figs will cost to ship, in addition to what the Yen exchange rate will be.

So in order to do this I will have to do payment in 2 parts. Once I get the $24 I send in the cupon and reserve a figure for you. Once they arrive I charge the exact cost to ship.

I will also do trades for the Rei action figure with manga.

Wow, got a bunch of replys. In order to meet everyones demand I will have to find more Shonen Ace. So please be patient while I search this weekend.

To clarify again, the $24 does NOT include shipping. I will not have any figures untill april at the earliest, and thus wont have an acurate shipping estimate untill then. There is also the issue of what the yen exchange rate will be like 5 months from now.

If possible I will send all the figures to one person, to reduce shipping costs a bit. LMK if anyone is willing to do so.

That price DOES include the Shonen Ace, 2 alternate manga covers, and the Asuka CCG card. If you do not want the manga, that will likely reduce the shipping cost by a great deal, since it is very heavy and bulky.

So far here are the original people who I have cupons reserved for;

Jwinges

Exo

Eternal D

MrDisco

Fatalist

And the following joined up later;

Min

Dangard Ace

Wolfx

Nerv

Jole727

Rowen

I have enough cupons for 1 each. Several have requested more than one so I will be out and about searching this weekend. All the big chain bookstores are sold out so I will have to scour the suburbs and countryside to find the small mom and pop stores that might still have it.

Ok, found a Shonen Ace for Rowen. Everyone has at least 1 now. I am going to close this offer since it is getting too expensive to get any more. Either by searching far away areas, or buying from the secondary market(seen the issue going for 2000yen, way too much IMHO)

Below is a pic of a 10th anniversary Ace Gamers promotional card. If you bought a dec issue of Shonen Ace from Gamers(yes, they are all sold out now), you get a card at random. There are at least 6 different cards, and only one has Asuka on it. I have one extra, I will figure out some contest or drawing to see who gets it.

Nothing new to add. All cupons have been paid for and sent in. All thats left is to wait till April when they should start shipping to me. Then I inform everyone individualy what shipping will cost, Once I recieve payment for the postage, I ship them out.

The exception to this is for people who live in the US, >EXO< will be handling the shipping as I will send him a bulk package.
