The fukubukuro fun continues as we snag a lucky bag crammed full of merch, including limited edition items, from the Evangelion Store Tokyo-01.
Our Prada-sock wearing reporter Seiji Nakazawa headed over to the Evangelion Store to track down one of these 8,000 yen (US$66) lucky bags. He didn’t need to wait in line for this one but the store was swamped with fans of the anime wanting to haul in the whopping 25,000 yen ($207) worth of items as advertised inside each bag.
Although there were three types of bags, they were only different in the sizes of clothing included: Small, Medium, and Large. Seiji picked out his size and double-timed it back to the RocketNews24 office to tally up his booty.

“Kick-ass” were the first words to come to Seiji’s mind after sorting through all the goodies inside this veritable clown car of a lucky bag. There were several appearances by the series’ mascotized version of the Fourth Angel, Yurushito (Sometimes stylized as “C-to”) but the NERV hoodie was the gigantic wad of icing on this cake. If all that weren’t enough, the total value of the items came to three times the amount he paid for the bag!
Yessir, one thing you can say about old Seiji: That guy’s sure got a lot of NERV!
Bwahahahaaa…heh…hehhhh… Alright I’ll just see myself out now.
