You can import the set from Amazon, but it's bloody expensive to do so.

Here's a link

In English/Dubbed; unfortunately nowhere. It's been a big rights juggling issue between Funimation, Khara, and a few others. I believe our dear Eva Monkey explained it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63UIBoIF3mY (just the early half)

If you don't need that, this is your closest bastion:

Problem though is that you're comparing two franchises that aren't on the same level, especially in the Western fanbase. Evangelion stands on a completely different level in terms of popularity, profitability & fandom from where Gundam is, especially when you take into account that the Gundam franchise went years without a R1 distributor after Bandai got out of the business here despite there being new additions to the multiverse still being made in Japan.

As to the prices for the Eva BR compared to Gundam prices: different studios mean different MSRPs at release as well as the rate at which the products see a price reduction will be different. When the Eva BR was released, it was Y38,800 ($363USD by today's rate) which, according to [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/Animation-Genesis-Evangelion-Blu-Ray-KIXA-90501/dp/B00SWDZWJQ), is still about the same despite how long it's been out.
