How ridiculously pointless.
Does it come with a little Shinji Ikari instead of a little Spike?
^ Ha ha ha :D :cool:
Colour me interested. Anyone know where's going to stock it?
I have to say I'm with the "awesome" crowd. I like Eva, I like Optimus, I like alternate colour schemes. Awesome.
I would think most stores will have it?Quote:

Can't say I'll go and buy it, but I'll admit it has some sort of novelty appeal. Making the Matrix crystal red like an Angel/Eva core was a nice touch :)
Any idea who the repainted Spike figure is meant to be? The paint scheme doesn't look quite right for a Nerv tech.
I'd still like to see if any media comes out of this. Just for fun, look at the Eva heights compared to G1 Optimus (Evangelion height hasn't exactly been consistent):

The detail on the trailer is nice. But that's about it.
Hey, I'd totally buy an MP10 Crayola Prime. :DQuote:

update from takara

I hope this isn't available only through Takara...
After seeing the pics on the website, I am beginning to like it more. Just not $250 more...
My only complaint would be the colours used for Prime's gun, Roller and the inside of the trailer. Its a really disgusting olive green type colour - why didn't they just make it bright green like the Prime figure itself?
here's the neat artwork

To stay true to the Evangelion theme and it's armament.Quote:

So are we going to have Berserk mode? lol

I was on the fence with this one, I really like the trailer ..... but at that price its an easy skip for me as well.... with YOTH costing 1/3 of the price is licensing for evangelion that much ?
You can expect TF Source and BBTS price to be inflated as they are probably excessive guesstimates.
Like Sky Shadow alluded to, wait for the Japanese solicitations to go out, or for the Hong Kong stores to get stock from Hasbro Asia.
oh no! :eek: not another MP Prime for me!...... :pQuote:

I like MP10 and I like Evangelion, but they aren't a good mix IMO. And this piece looks, well, ugly IMO.
Pass, even if you charge me half price, I only "think" about it.
I rather buy YOTH.
Pass.
It's horrible.
I just got the pre-order email from BBTSQuote:

$315!!! :eek: No Thanks!
It's nice but I have no desire to own it.:rolleyes:
Now available for pre-order at RobotKingdom. Price is US$249 + shipping.
Will japanese retailers be getting him? otherwise I think this is the best option for me as I'll also get Movie Accurate evasion prime and Transformers GO Nemesis prime.Quote:

GAH! I THINK I HAVE TO GET IT NOW!
So, I'm looking to buy this out of Japan instead of Hong Kong or the US.
Question is, what JP based suppliers have pre-orders where you don't pay up front?
RK have over 50 of them. Don't think there's a rush. ;)
$249? Yeah... no.
I don't think I would for $24.90 !!!Quote:

I think we could see this inflate in price and the limited numbers could elevate the status of this piece, particularly for Prime collectors.
My pre-order finger is itching... but I know I should be waiting for a japanese stockist....:p
So cool, this will turn into a regret if I don't buy it.
