So question is: Will there be PO madness where I have to stay up to secure or will I wake up the next morning with viable options? Obviously, Bluefin and stateside shops will carry for example.

Anyone got deets on this yet?

Eva-01 recolor with Spear of Longinus. I guess it’s great for those that missed the first one .....

Yeah what a bummer.  I might get it but likely not considering I have the first one.  Looks like this is the "movie" version.

It would be nice if they retooled the look of the head.

[DYRL VF-1S]

Bandai pulls this crap on Macross as well.  Instead of completing a team, they leave it half-assed and then move to a movie release or a different saga in the series.  Haha...oh well.  We just got Bandai'd on Evangelion.

[sqidd]

What is this thing!? I don't know much about the Bandai Spirits line. But I don't remember it being 15" tall???? This thing is a MONSTER! It's like a monster Metal Build.

Am I assuming correctly it's a fully assembled toy? Oh boy, must resist!

It's what I posted above.  It's the next Metal Build.  But that Big Bad price is way inflated if you follow my links.

[DYRL VF-1S]

It isn't officially released until early Fri morning our time (12:00 AM PT / 3:00 AM ET).  But a few shops have begun posting it in advance like Big Bad, Nin-Nin, etc.

But this is how much Bandai is selling for:  Price: 28,600 yen (tax included).  So, BigBadToys is a ridiculous cost as is NY and Nin Nin right now.  I'll be waiting to see what drops tomorrow night / Fri morning both with Japanese sellers and Stateside.

They really goofed the description up. It says it's 15" tall. That would be worth $450!

On the actual P-bandai Product size　Height: about 220mm  , which is around 8.66 inches 

[Sanity is Optional]

Maybe they're including the lance?

[DYRL VF-1S]

Well they are sold out on the site which tells me that some unsuspecting folks paid too much and are going to be surprised when it arrives.

Yeah, if I didn't have you guys I may have made that mistake. I saw 15" and was in!

Who knows, it says “exclusive” so maybe it is?

[whitestar]

LOL BBTS updated the description from 15” to 8” . Still the same price though

this. they're definitely getting 15 inches from the overall length of the lance.

I wonder if they priced it so high because of shipping being jacked up internationally now?

[DYRL VF-1S]

BTW, looks like this is a web exclusive so it won't be at all of the etailers.  For example, looks like MyKombini took orders early and already sold out: https://mykombini.com/en/june-2020/18371-metal-build-evangelion-eva-01-eva2020-bandai-limited.html

I think that they think there is a certain part of the buying population that will pay that amount. So that's what they charge. Clearly they're right. They're sold out.

Yup! True true.  Which is all the more satisfying when I land it for far less.    Now....to simply land it...

Tah-dah!

Saw that on Twitter as well!  Will be much better than the crazy number BBTS has.

I wonder what those people that ordered from BBTS will do once Bluefin comes out with their price. I'm putting it around $260-280.

Right?! Totally agree.  Though BBTS's pre-orders are usually either at no charge or with a non-refundable deposit.

[PsYcHoDyNaMiX]

This isnt the first time bbts has put up an item at a high price only for bluefinbrand to make a listing just a few days later more towards the actual pbandai msrp. The MS Nu Funnel Set, the gffmc Wing Snow White, and a few others iirc. 

Kind of saw a pattern reoccurring here after the 2nd time.*

The seizure that clip induced kept me from deciphering the details.

-How tall? 400mm (15.74")

-How much? 19,800 yen?

-When does it PO? 12/2020?

That seems really inexpensive. Is it a model that needs to be assembled?

I was updating when you posted. Thanks!

If I were to do a search for this what key words can I use? Bandai Evangelion gets me about a million results.

Doesn't look like it. seems more like a metal robot damashii but big.
