jwinges Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk009 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bariaburu Faita Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwinges Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 If anyone is looking for the Rei figure I know of some places in the Phoenix area that have them. Don't know their price but there were plenty of the poseable rei and the Wonderfest Grimlock figures at stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal_D Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 yah, I think i'd be interested if the price is right. I missed out on the deal that a couple of my friends got and I didn't want to pay like $30 for the figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bariaburu Faita Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 (edited) Ok, guys. I sent out enough cupons to get 1 Asuka figure to everyone who posted that the want one. The deadline for the last chance offer is dec 24, then they will produce enough for all orders and are supposed to ship in April next year.

Bariaburu Faita Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 (edited) 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. Edited December 2, 2004 by Bariaburu Faita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bariaburu Faita Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 (edited) 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.

Bariaburu Faita Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bariaburu Faita Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 (edited) 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.
