Don't worry bandai have already confirmed a restock before releasing eva 02 so just wait a few months. The figure looks great (as all metal builds and looks crazy articulated) but what kept me away from it, other than I don't want to start another super expensive line, is the fact that is too far from source material in my opinion.

No big deal. I've got Titanus on the way, and I just scored a MIB GoDaiKin Combattra - that's a once in a lifetime piece, imo. I don't want to discount th the awesomeness of this EVA, but the 2 I've got on the way will make up for it. I did cancel my MB Great Mazinger PO with EntertainmentEarth, and placed my business with eKnight. I DEFINITELY don't want to miss out on that one, and I've never had an issue with them.

If anyone's looking for this, I've got my preorder still at Amazon. I don't know how that transfer works but I don't need it having picked it up at the convention. If no one wants it I'm just cancelling. If you're happy with the quality I'll gladly put down for it! Messaged on IG since I don't really look here

Have they announced which Eva units will be released? (if by some miracle they do 04, instant order for me)

FedEx dumbasspost sure is taking its sweet time delivering my Eva MB. Originally, the delivery was supposed to be yesterday. Now it's showing for today but the tracking hasn't updated since the other day.

Really interesting article, unfortunately they did not go deeper, but it shows problem very common for collectors nowadays. Bandai also feed this when they make their tamashii web exclusives only for Japan or Asia. But the market is changing, maybe the EVA and voltron cases became more notorious but the MB line is having this kind of practice for a long time, also the saint seiya myth cloth EX line (those are two lines I collect and I'm aware of the problem). I think with bandai production model will be difficult to fight scalping. If they do a second run scalpers would do the same. I think by having stock available for a few month after release will kill scalping but bandai produce enough to avoid keeping stock, what's reasonable since space in Japan is limited and expensive and having a lot of stock probably would increase their production cost and represent more investment in the product (also increases losses when some product fails and stale or need a price drop, for example the blue astray MB). At the current state of global economy this seems like a very risky movement. Also bandai production is limited by their factories in China (they say they can't increase production or work with other factories due to QC). It's damaging companies (since many people stop collecting or doesn't even start due to this) but I don't see a solution in the short term.

Does the tracking ever show they have handed it to the PO or it just stops without further details? Because the last update only shows it left a facility in another state.

It will cross reference, you will start seeing it at USPS once they change hands, but anything before it will just show USPS Currently Awaiting Package A status update is not yet available for your package. It will be available when the shipper provides an update or the package is delivered to USPS. Check back soon. I have something from smartpost coming in to, due Friday.. but we'll see.

With Smartpost you'll have a new tracking number with usps however it will still let you know the day it's going out for delivery.

Very educational article...i didnt know they had free shipping advantage..There were photos at sites where this was going on and its really maddening.
This is worse kind of scalping. Flipping within hours of sellout?... Shamless...just driven by pure greed. These jerks have absolutely no regards for the collector community of course.
I have zero interest for this figure now so its easy for me to say this BUT starve the F'ers out...
Please, PLEASE DO NOT buy from third party even if they say its shipped from Japan! Buy only from a legit stores! ( and of course from one of our lovely bros here....) You're not doing anyone a favor buyin0g from these jackasses....
They're indefensible....
