HELP!!!!!!!!

[EVA Type-R]

hey everyone. I just got an EVA video for my birthday, and i secretly sneaaked to the place they bought it. It was 25 USD!!!!!!!!! wayyyy too much. Does anyone know where i can get a better deal? or is that a good deal already? You klnow what else? It's dubbed. I mean i appreciate it and all, but ur not supposed to get a dubbed video. anyways. Its Genesis 0:12. I'm starting to collect, but it's damn expensive!!!!! :redhot:

[eva2000]

well happy birthday first :D

as for the $25 is that USA or Aussie dollars... i think it's an okay price but have seen places online charging $19.99 US dollars... excluding shipping and postage and handling costs.... so maybe $25 is cheap ?

[EVA Type-R]

Thanks man :B: . ok. hmmmmm, how much do u think shipping would be? maybe around 10USD or something or what?

[Yuusuke]

I'd say that 25$ for a dubbed tape is a bit much. ^_^;;
I used to get my tapes from AnimePlus (Northridge, CA, USA). I believe that the tapes there were 23$ per dubbed Evangelion video and 27$ for subbed Evangelion video. . .
Try http://www.animenation.com and see if the prices they have the Eva tapes for is less. If so, I'd order from them (make sure to add the shipping prices when checking if they're less, and make sure you're in a different state so as not to pay tax:))

If you have a dvd player, the whole series is not yet out but the first four episodes are, and only about 30$ for four episodes instead of the tape which is about 25$ for 2 episodes

[eva2000]

yeah, i am thinking of later getting a DVD play but there's so many choices for DVD players and such......

hmmm... would a DVD forum be justified ? :D

[EVA Type-R]

Yea i can do that when i buy the Play Station 2. But for now, i have to wait till December. (damn!) so uhhhh well now that i found out about the dvd price, I guess ill just wait 4 that! Thanks!

[ryezen]

of course if you dont have DVD you could also go for VCD, so far, this site has the cheapest VCD's ive seen http://animie-go.com/store/c000057.htm they once had both movies at $20 US each (must have ran out). I e-mailed them about the quality and this is the answer i got:

Hi,

The quality for Eva is very good. The discs are direct from Japan. We only have a few items which are form Japan and Eva are one of them. Plse be assured of such quality.

I haven't watched it myself, but till date, there's no complains on the sound/picture quality.

However if you still want cheap VHS, you may check this site http://www.colossalgames.com/animevid3.html#nvid. - they're dubbed though

but like what the others said, i think that the DVD would be the best option - i for one am gonna get them when they're all released

[Wolfpac]

Me, and anyone else from Australia are lucky. Australia were and I still think are the only English speaking country in the world to get Evangelion on Television.

Thanks SBS

Why don't you hire it on Video and dubb it off.
Its cheaper than paying $25 per video

[ryezen]

sorry, but Eva was aired TWICE here in the Philippines! - and we are also an english speaking country!

[EVA UNIT 01]

Here it was aired twice. The start of the second series run on Monday night was the end of the series run on Friday night. A while ago an australian EVA newsgroup was pushing for a third run but there you go, we'll have to see.

[eva2000]

yeah Australia and the US got NGE on tv ...

http://www.eva2000.com/news_report/

on page 1, 2 or 3 had some news of it for the US....

[Tristan9480]

The U.S. has it on the interantional channel(subbed) in Cali and I think the SciFi channel is soon going to start braodcasting it.

[EVA Type-R]

In silicon valley in Cali, it shows it on Kteh (Public tv channel). It's Channel 10 if you do have cable and channel 54 if u dont. Really it's great. I see it every Sunday. Which reminds me! 2 more days!!!! WOOHOO! ;)

[Chaos7200]

As a seasoned Blockbuster employee (sure), I can only say one thing:

For Eva, and Blockbuster, $25 US is cheap. Of course, big corporations will always overcharge you. Your best bet is an online source, anywhere else is going to be waaaaaaaaaay too expensive. Unless you can find a purely anime store somewhere in the US to buy stuff from, it's not likely you're going to get much less than 25. Heck, at BB, it's a good 29.99 (think that's bad, Akira, widescreen and subtitled... 39.99 USD) Oh, well.

[eva2000]

hi chaos7200 and welcome to my forums :D

[fireguy]

If you live in Australia and wish to get copies of NGE from an online Australian Company. The site to visit is:

[Wolfpac]

Evangelion Figures

[EVA Type-R]

Thanx a lot everyone. I still want more deals though ;) sorry i havent been on in a while. Anyways..... Thanx!!!!! ummmmmmmm....... oh and chaos. yea, I guess its okay, but i still need a better deal! If i were to buy the whole series, which i will, it whould take me around $380 US dollars. and thats only the ones that come out now!!!!! Thats why im lookin for a better deal.

[eva2000]

oh yeah animezone.com.au is another great place i forgot about...

hehe you'll find eva2000.com in the links section of both madman.com.au and animezone.com.au :D

[Paradox]

:)

[EVA UNIT 01]

gotta keep pulling the chain:lol:

Hiya Everybody!!!!!:D

[eva2000]

of course :D

gotta keep myself motivated :lol:

[z3n]

another place to get eva merchandise is Anime Express. don't know what their like, cause i haven't tried them yet, but they seem to have a pretty good selection. They have all the ep's of VHS for $19.95, as well as a lot of misc. stuff like a 1:1 scale model of Rei (or something, I read it pretty quickly). Plus, delivery in Australia is FREE! Anyway, I'm ordering an eva wall scroll from them in the next few days so I'll be able to say how reliable they are. :)

[Paradox]

What's the address for Anime Express?

[EVA UNIT 01]

I have seen them, aren't they at:
http://www.animex.com.au/

I haven't ordered from them because I find Anime Zone better. (that's my opinion):D

Hiya Everybody!!!!!:B:

The board has reached 100 members as of 5.34pm

Whoaaaa...!! $25 What an expensive thing to buy ! But The Evangelion is worth to buy !
In Indonesia, you can buy the series for about $2 each. Yeah it was pirated VCD, but the quality is very very good.
To bad there's no Evangelion video in Indonesia.
But if you wanna buy another anime, maybe you could buy straight from Japan...It's cheaper and the shipping cost also cheap.
Try it, or just maybe you ask your friend who go to Japan or Indonesia (Bali is Indonesia) to buy you some anime titles.
