Even for one volume, 32 magazine format pages assuming an average of  
2.5 translation units per page (maybe more, maybe less) at current  
market rates would run close to US$2000, and I know for a fact that  
there is no way a "collection" could come up with that much for so  
little potential gain in terms of new information.  And there is also  
the issue that I would have to turn down my regular work while I did it.

So while I appreciate the thoughts, It really would not be feasible  
IMO.  At this point the Eva translations I do are the ones that I am  
interested in and would do for free anyway.  This is of course mainly  
the Eva manga, but I will say that there is one other little thing  
that I started a while back and hope to finish sometime soon.
