She is a product of the BSG "Starbuck" treatment, I think. Hot character, don't know much about her.

That's the first thing I noticed when I saw the HD remastered DVD. There's soooo much that you miss in the bootlegs from long ago. The Bluray is going to be epic in quality, just by the previews of it. If you plan to get it, watch the opening of one, then the opening of the other. You'll be able to see the difference from the get go.

The one thing that is on our side, is that this is a reused design and mold. I'm sure they've gotten their money out of it, so to do this one is more a matter of different color materials, paint, and tampo printing. I'm going to assume the box design will be relatively similar to the same releases, so I don't think there's too much to worry about in this scheme. That said, there are worse things that could be happening, and we don't know, so I'm going to patiently see. As you said, I definitely want more non canon variants. A Minmay Guard would be awesome, and I'd be all for having one for the Moon and Paris Acts.

If it's the FX version, the subs aren't that great, and the picture quality is pretty grainy. In the opening sequence of the FX version, when it shows the Macross going through space, you can't really see any of the stars moving in the background. On the HD remastered DVD version, you can see that, but there's still a little grain. This Bluray version looks almost like a brand new release.

Could just be a backorder on the plastic, the factory is running behind, the company making the packaging is booked, or all sorts of other middleman issues. I don't think it'd be something major, like faulty parts. If it were, still glad they're holding back.

Alright, here I go again...another night with the laptop running next to the bed. Did the F and the S have this same release drama, or is this one special? It makes me wonder if they're trying to figure out the demand for these still, or is this all just circumstance? I'll put Ai-Kun and Nyan Nyan up to the task, and see if they can do the job of monitoring for me again.

Then why would they even put up the item this early on HLJ? That wouldn't make much sense, but if that were the case, I'd give a big F U to HLJ as well.

Yep, and no open order.

It would've worked either way, but "backlash" works the same, and probably what I would've used if I were responding. Good show.

IF by some reason they made it in 1/48, I'd be out. There's no need for me to buy multiple lines of these, and I'm not about to start up collecting another line. It would be a big disappointment for those that sold their 1/48 line, those that don't collect the 1/48 line, and overall, the 1/48 line would still be incomplete. I would be interested in those fast packs that were recently shown as well. While not as glamorous and iconic as the originals, it'd be a cool upgrade.

Imagine if it was someone with Michael Bay's attitude? Thank God, for people who know what the word restraint means.

So, you're still waiting on getting your kit back? Ugh, if that's the case, sorry to hear that. Hope he responds.

If they made them, I'd get them for sure. I want a VA-3 more.

It really isn't an issue for me to have the updater run, and to constantly check. While I'm at home, and working on other projects, I can simply follow the site, and wait.

My wife bought it at Anime Expo in 2010. She also picked up a Nyan Nyan plushie doll, too. Judging by the size of the Ai Kun, it's a 1/1 scale.

I have a good friend checking HLJ for me. Apparently, he's gonna try his hardest .

yeah, me too. I have it by my bed so I can just turn over, respond to the page update, and knockout right after.

Dang, the beep went off, but nothing changed on the page, unless they came and went that fast.

I will probably not get any cels this year at AX, unless there's a new one that is just too good to pass up. Money be tight.

Leaving some of that out in the first line would make a nice reason for a new line of 0 toys. I'm all for that, so long as they make a VA-3 and put that somewhere in all that.

To me, that's too much, but a last resort "no vaseline, just give it to me" fix for the problem. I too, have that as a last ditch, which I'd rather keep for someone here if I get through on the hlj stuff. At least I see the price changing in our favor on hlj. Hope that continues.

Still camping with hot dogs and fish by the fire. I'll make another go of it again, unless we all get lucky and they put it up earlier.

It's not that bad. My wife did get a little ticked that the beep from the page updater went off twice, but since the laptop is on my side, I think she missed the other two times it went off. She wants me to finish the collection of these, so she's ok with it. And it doesn't really waste that much electricity. I've kept the t.v. off during the days, so it probably balances out a bit.

If by some reason, I end up with multiples on my end after the group setup, I'm going to sell them at what I paid for. I'm sure there will be some people that get really pissed about missing this. That is an if I get multiples. Right now, I have my Nippon Yassan preorder, but that one is already marked up.

Waiting game. Lalalalalaaaaaa... I have the computer next to my bed and it's going to wake up everyone when it goes off. Thanks Bandai.
