: However, there will be a new stage next month.

At last!
:
: This month's Ace-A has an Eva cover, and also the
: original stage #1 again from ten years ago.  I have no
: idea why they published only that stage again except as
: filler and unnecessary waste of paper and ink.  There
: is also a fold-out box that holds all 10 Eva manga
: issues (Vol.10 was also released today),

What illustrations are on the box? New or re-used?

which also
: strikes me as funny because: *We know that the series
: will comprise more than 10 volumes, so what is the use
: of a storage box that only holds 10 volumes!?*  I mean,
: seriously, Gainax/Ace-A people, could we try using a
: bit more of that gray matter between your ears?  -_-

Is 12 the total, or more?
:
: As for other information, Gainax must need more money,
: because there is a slew of new products that use
: Sadamoto images (obviously in sync with Eva manga
: vol.10 and 10 years of manga serialization in Ace-A)
: such as art panel clocks, body pillows, desk mats and
: so on.

Anything Misato will get my interest.

 There is also a new black Nerv coffee mug, a
: new PlayStation game "Evangelions", new figures and
: model kits, T-shirts, basketball shoes (huh!?), a new
: CD "Decade", computer and mobile phone stuff such as
: Nerv keyboard and monitor covers, a Sachiel monitor
: cleaner, stickers and seals, etc.

Given the organisation NERV was, its leader's ambition to destroy the
natural world , & association with SEELE, I never understand why just
NERV itself is popular.

 And to top it all
: off, a special "Decade - 10-year Memorial Box" is
: scheduled for release around the end of April.  The box
: details will probably appear on the Gainax website.

A new monolith box perhaps? Perhaps with the DTS movie, Iron Maiden 2
game, PS2 games & some exclusive extras.  Perhaps all TV episodes will
be DTS soundtrack - its been done already by Prowaremedia R3(Tw) for
their Renewal release.
