     Obviously, I too would personally rather see a wide selection of Macross items in the USA closer to MSRP, as that would still allow for the possibility of retailer-specific deals, but I've also said that I would sooner support a local brick and mortar which may have to upcharge a bit due to overhead. To have local shops, of which there are far too few, carry Macross items on a regular basis would be a beautiful thing.

    Personally I think Macross needs more exposure to widen interest for more product purchases and maybe lower cost in US retail.

    Toyark (IIRC) hasn't had a Macross news post since 2011. Toynewsi has no Macross mentions. Granted Macross is a niche product for a specific kind of collector; but so is a lot of other stuff today. 

    The Disney+ offerings could help get the name out to a wider audience too; when it actually happens.

    Now that I've thought about it, the way this looks, regular retailers like hlj, hobby search, and amiami can't even sell this. This isn't a retail release at all, let alone WWM. 

    So what does that mean for the one I just paid for from a retailer; a refund?

    The vendor pricing differential is interesting.  Eknightmedia's price is about $30.00 below their competitors, and eknightmedia requires a non-refundable $30.00 reserve payment.  I'm wondering if they're making a calculated gamble by under-cutting the competition on price in order to drive traffic, while betting that a number of folks will change their mind, fail to follow through, and walk away from their $30.00.  If the math works in their favor, those who walk away from their $30.00 will be subsidizing everyone else's purchase.

    Eknightmedia didn't charge me a $30 down payment when I selected PayPal as my payment method.

     

    Edit; they just asked for the $30. They didn't do this when I ordered 2x 29 Max variants last year, odd- but ok.

    I PO'ed 2 of the 25 WWM with deposit from BBTS thinking they'd be the only one to get it state side, then it popped up everywhere. With Max's 29 I did Eknight and got a discount with free shipping. I'm gonna try to hold tight for Eknight if I can't get my 171EX from HLJ.

    UPDATE

    Eknight @ $279 with free ground shipping and pay when item is received and ready to ship via PayPal;

    I kinda figured. After hearing confirmation that Keaton was only in a few minutes, and most of it was kinda cringy, I figured I can skip it 

    I had a lot of disdain for the Black Adam movie, but I'd easily go back to watching it over and over again before I watched The Flash for one more round. 

    The movie's highs were very high, but then you'd get these lame drops in either quality or writing. 

    I expected more from Supergirl. No way Batkeaton was a Synderverse/ DCEU level Batman (youll see why). You end up seeing why Michael Shannon didn't really want to do this.

    And all for nothing, just to close out everything in mockery. That's it.
