wolfx Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 crap it was cheap when it came out. i wish i would have grabbed it then. It was pretty hot here in MW when it came out. Surprised you guys didn't catch us raving about it here in the forums. Me and Anubis and a few others were also abit annoyed at Tokyo Central for lack of an email response for our late shipments....but it reached us eventually....

Ah yes, I had all but forgotten about the Tokyo Central thing. They really did seem to handle that poorly. Now I'm mad at them all over again. I hope Asuka comes hassle-free.

Trust me, its is quite a hassle. Its mail order only. Hardest part was tracking down the Shonen Ace issues to get the cupon. They sold out in a matter of days.

F360° Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 crap it was cheap when it came out. i wish i would have grabbed it then. yeah,, it was, but when it came out the price wasn't really the problem,, it was the availability. Not everyone that wants it could get it. It was backorder, not enough supply for pre-orders, etc. The price jump up to $25-$30 in a matter of days. It sucked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really nice of you to go through all that to hook people up with the figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uminoken Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 If anyone live in the Seattle area, Kinokunia (in the international district) has about 4 of the Reis for $26. Rei's certainly not my fav, so I didn't get one, if they had an Asuka tho....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Randy Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 sorry to get off track but my rei ayanami figure when i compare it to the boxpic of her, the rei on the pic seems to have a wider fuller face, not sure if anyone has the same problem or notices that compared with the rei pic on their box it was just mentioned elsewhere on this site that there is bootlegs of the rei out there on the market and the packaging and stuff almost seems identical to the real release i do not know to much about it. i do not known if yours is different because it is a slight error, a bootleg or if it just vary's from the ones on the box. do you have any pics? Bear in mind that there are also legit HK releases which are identical to the Japanese version just the packaging and the manga printed in Mandarin. I am pretty sure my manga is in japanese that came with my rei ayanami figure IT is identical to the one pictured on the box but when I have a good look at the pic on the box of her face facing full forward and have a good look at the figure facing it full worward facing you. compare the face size to head ratio and do the same for the picture. look at her bangs and the hair on the left and right side of her face. The hair give it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy's Blues Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I did get the rei figure when it came out, and I was very happy with the ease of posing. The reason I sold it soon after was it was so fricking SMALL. Every other figure I had was huge compared to this one. I hope in the long run they reiissue it in a larger scale, because the sculpt was so sweet. /2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy's Blues Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Back from the dead! Anyone have any opinions on this auction. ebay What's the deal with "no comic" goof by the packagers or is the 100% new false I also heard there may be some bootlegs out there.... How do you spot them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwinges Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I'd love to get my hands on about 3 bootlegs of rei. Just so I could do repaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Probably wanted the manga and picked the boxed ver. up to resell Rei. 20 bucks shipping for that? He's out of his mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Rogers Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 20 bucks shipping for that? He's out of his mind. Shipping and handling He's making back all the eBay and PayPal fees via handling, I bet. The figure was only available as part of the 1st pressing copies of the Eva manga that he's not including. This could mean either the figure was a boot or he's keeping the manga (doubtful - the manga is only worth a buck or two, why strip it and kill the set's value).
