5 weeks... Still no news of my Eva 01 Evolution :shinchair:

I guess there's no point in going to ask to mail, 'cuz it has no tracking number...
If I tell Amiami... Will they send me to *uck off?
For all I know there are 4 possibilities:
1.- Amiami thought of throwing the guilt onto mexican mail from the begining and never shipped it...
2.- It's still somewhere in the customs backyard, and with the news of 2 US customs agents murdered by sicars in northen Mexico, I guess it'll take longer...
3.- Someone in customs X-rayed it, saw what it was and grabbed it (completely possible, believe it or not)
4.- It's among the 30 out of 100 pieces of mail that mexican service looses...

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go sumberge in despair and restlesness curled up in my bed...

I'm assuming then that you didnt choose EMS as the shipping method? THen just chill. Your Scenario #1 is highly unlikely. That would be called fraud if AmiAmi took your money and decided not to send Unit 01. As for the rest....all possible but hey you chose SAL. Uninsured surface mail sucks. You kind of bit the dust there Arael....

If you didn't choose EMS you are going to wait a loooooooong time and you have a chance that you will not see the package, that's why I don't choose SAL ever, I can't risk it specially living this country and with our current situation is worse.

My guy doesn't make me pay for that stuff till it actually arrives at his office.

And ouch about you Eva 01 Evo, how long did it get confirmed that it shipped? SAL Takes anywhere from 15-25 days to ship (Usually 15 in my case, I'm usually too low on cash to afford EMS and I never have problems with SAL.)

I got the shipping notice on January 13th... At this rate Unit 02 will be released without me having unit 01!!!
[on the brigth side, I chose registrered SAL for unit 02]

a THAT is why I always choose EMS
I once chose SAL and the package took over 45 days to arrive

Oh jeez, at least when I got the confirmation for Asuka it was only 16 days ago (it shipped on the 1st and arrived about 4 days ago). Thats a really long time to wait.

Nothing to fuss about (yet). While SAL typically arrives in 2-3 weeks, it can take up to 45 days.

My last order from HLJ shipped in Jan took a full 45 days to arrive, and someone I know is still waiting for an order shipped mid-January. Shipping is just all round slow at the moment.

Registered SAL though, is just a waste of money IMO.

For me its a waste of time, but I'd rather have my packages arrive and I having to go pick them up the next day over not arriving at all.

Would any of you happen to know where I can get these specific Evangelion figures?

I first saw them posted at Ngeekhiong.blogspot, and kinda forgot about them till now. They were slated for a April 2010 release, but I don't recall seeing them ANYWHERE.

Someone mind helping me out?

insomniac · Postby **insomniac** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 4:24 am

^ I'd try running several searches on eBay for the Gashapon figures. They have something very similar, but it looks like it's from a newer series.

EVA X · Postby **EVA X** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 6:05 am

The name of the line of Eva figures I'm searching for is "Ultimate Action Neo Evangelion New Theatrical Ver. Vol. 3"

No sign of em on ebay, bigbadtoystore, amiami, and hobby search...

:um-no:

insomniac · Postby **insomniac** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 8:08 am

Here's a suggestion. If you're determined to get them no matter, you can get a middlemen service like Yokatta Shopping or whatever to get them off a Yahoo! Japan Auction.

EVA X · Postby **EVA X** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 8:20 am

I've heard of those middle man guys, but unfortunately I never use em. So it looks like I won't be getting them, not any time soon at least. Thanks for helping me though. Don't think I would of found updated images of the figures with the way I was searching.

Ugh, so close to getting that Zeruel. :headdesk:

macrochaos · Postby **macrochaos** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 12:56 pm

^

HLJ had them http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN960840
but they are already discontinued
They should be almost gone off the market by now
I think they will eventually appear on Ebay, try searching for them daily

SEELE-01 · Postby **SEELE-01** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 1:09 pm

I wanted that Zeruel too... Previous versions have Ramiel, Samshel and Israfel in gashapon too...
Have been searching Evilbay once in a while...
I guess Ill try to sculpt Zeruel if I can't find it...
I could be Revoltech scale

Shinies · Postby **Shinies** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 2:36 pm

You should try those middlemen, they can get info for you and give you prices, no strings attached. At least Yokkata and Tokyo Hunter are reliable from experience.

Week's post!

@visionfactory: more of Zeruel, like promised...
