    Hopefully someone can provide the proper terminology, but if I recall correctly...there's some type of fold barrier surrounding Windermere that would not allow them to do so. Assuming you're asking why they haven't straight-up headed to Windermere, taking the fight to them. Also, although I believe Windermere has declared war, everyone else involved appears to be on the defensive...focused on countering the Var. I imagine we're going to see the Elysion deployed at some point, and am definitely looking forward to where this series is headed.

    Right...we still don't have many details on the Windermerians backstory at this point. Maybe that will eventually flesh some things out, and possibly introduce some other characters. We know there was a war with the New United Government 7 years prior, a dimensional weapon caused mass destruction on the Windermerian home world, and they're now fighting to free/control the Brisingr Globular Cluster (so they say). And, unless their interest in the Protocultre Ruins is strictly based on controlling other worlds, I think something else might be going on there.

    I don't know that it's relevant to the series at this point (or at all), but I've noticed a lack of prominent Windermerian women...other than Freyja of course. Does the Windermerian King have a wife? Did he have a wife? Who was she? What happened to her? Apparently Keith is a bastard (not just because he killed Messer), but who was his mother? Where is she? There are just no other Windermerian women other than Freyja at this point. I don't know if it's simply oversight, a purposeful omission (due to story/time constraints), but I've also been wondering if it has anything to do with the "scar" of Windermere.

    Right, I believe that's the "waitress" I referred to earlier (I forgot that she's Chuck's sister). I don't recall seeing her character in the last few episodes, but she's in every opening wistfully watching Messer...so I'm reminded of her each week.

    Nice to see another release so soon, but I wonder if this will affect the anticipated Max/Milia VF-1Js? Still hoping for a Hikaru, Max and Kakizaki DYRL VF-1A release as well.

    The following message is currently on the Home page of MyKombini: EMS Fees (20 May 2016) : Dear Customers, Thank you for using Mykombini. Starting from June 1st, 2016, Japan Post will increase their shipping fees for EMS. Due to this price increase, we study other shipping solutions. The new EMS fees will be applied to all orders shipped from June 1st, 2016 onwards, regardless of the date when the order was placed. Thank you for your understanding Just a heads up, as I imagine this will impact other online retailers as well. Hopefully the increase isn't too bad.

    Consistency is definitely an issue, as this old thread confirms: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/?showtopic=33919

    Ah...got it. This sort of explains the HMR release. At least in terms of where the color schemes came from. Thanks for pointing this out.

    Looking back at the first display pictures from 2014, they had the gray fast packs. I wonder what's caused the change at this point. Just an mistake perhaps? Or maybe this display is inaccurate? It's a bit of a shame, but not necessarily a deal-breaker. Edit: Maybe it's the lighting in the display? Maybe that white is actually a light gray? It doesn't explain why the front portion of Max's Fast Pack is white though. I don't recall ever seeing Max's VF-1J with that before. There is a brief moment where the front portion of Milia's Fast Pack is white/light gray though. That might explain some of the confusion.

    That is strange. I do appreciate the color coding, but it doesn't appear to be SDFM accurate (as far as I can tell).

    As did I. Now to see how quickly it actually ships.

    If you're looking for the original SDF Macross (as it was aired in Japan), with English subtitles, I believe the AnimEigo release is your best option. Here's an eBay listing for the AnimEigo version: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MACROSS-Super-Dimension-Fortress-Vol-1-9-Complete-Box-Set-AnimEigo-/191670672085?hash=item2ca0765ad5:g:~zMAAOSwmrlUwvPK If you keep looking around, you'll most likely find one a bit less expensive though. You can find it as a complete box set or as three individual sets (1-3, 4-6, 7-9). Here's some other information regarding different releases as well: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=118002 Hope this helps, and happy to answer any other questions you may have.

    I'm with the SDFM (DYRL) camp as well. That's all I'm really interested in at this point.

    Most excellent! Thanks again for sharing this information.

    All around great episode: even Messer and Mikumo didn't bother me.

    During the Gertalk Podcast for Delta episode 7, I believe MW member Save mentioned a card advertising the Blu-ray/DVD release was handed out at the Walkure event over the weekend. That card listed the English subtitles too, so 99.9% sounds about right. Thanks for mentioning that Save!

    Thanks for another entertaining and informative Gertalk Podcast. It's nice to hear the thoughts of new and returning participants as well. Great job all around, especially considering how quickly you get these out.

    Thank you so much for the detailed information! I'll have to plan something Macross related for July 7th then. Edit: I searched for an image of the greeting card and the message within, but came up empty-handed. Have you ever seen the card or an image of it? Thanks again! Second Edit: I haven't found a picture of the card, but did find a site with a translation of Minmei's last message here: http://monkeybacon.mywebcommunity.org/OTother/MinmeiLastMessage.php

    Do you know if a specific date regarding when contact was lost has ever been published? I found mention of July 2016 on Wikipedia and a few other sites, but I'm curious where this information came from. As a fan of the series I'd also like to make note of it to commemorate this year.
