Bandai should do what super 7 does. Offer preorders for a specific time and pay up front. They do do this through P-Bandai. Not the same at all. Bandai offers a set number for preorder. When that number is reached, preorder stops. Super 7 sets a number of days. Like 14 or 30 days. Whoever orders in that set number of days gets one. If 1000 people order before the 14 days are up then super 7 produces 1000 plus a few extra for retailers. If 10000 people order in that 14 days then they make 10000 plus a few extra for retailers. This cuts out the scalpers for the most part. example. If gx-71 preorders was offered for 14 days, everyone who wanted one would get one. Instead we get a trickle of preorders where you pretty much have to sit at your computer and keep refreshing the screen. If you miss the preorder window that may be minutes to an hour you are out of luck.

Thank you for this.I honestly thought P-Bandai was made-to-order so appreciate the correction. Really surprised more companies DON'T do it that way

If you miss the preorder window that may be minutes to an hour you are out of luck. This is what I've been advocating for. Have a window for pre-orders and take as many orders that will come in. Anybody that wants one (can afford one) will get one. It deters the scalping market as well. Hot Toys/ Sideshow have the pre-order window open for quite some time for the regular releases. It works fine for those that are willing to spend for the figure. It does still end up in the secondary market at a higher price but the person only have themselves to blame for not getting in their pre-order.

Finally found one of these at local comic shop. $30 more than retail but much cheaper than eBay. They had 2. Scored GX-88 last night. So I may be done now for a long while. Don’t want to go through this madness anymore.

I'm not gonna mess with my expensive MB Eva-01. Happy with the way it looks. Got plenty of other anime style EVA figures to scratch that itch.

man, I had zero interest in Eva but my mate said it looks good in person plus alot of positive reviews about it and the pose ability that you can do with this figure. Bit the bullet as a local seller sold it to me for 230 USD and don't need to worry about shipping

Just bought this guy on NY! Thanks for the link!
I wasn't sure I wanted EVA. But I just finished the series on Netflix, and really identified with the final six episodes. This, and the fact that I'm paying $330 may speak to my mental health....
