  1. I would send the guy an email stating what you plan to do if you don't see the item. I did this with Jchung after roughly 2 1/2 -3 weeks without a shipping confirmation. Very next day, I had a tracking number. The guy ignored every other email I sent him. I would say it's likely that these 2 sellers are the same, since the feedback received has similar complaints, and the prices are practically identical. GL

    Thanks for the advice, but as it turned out, I didn't have to apply it. His initial response took long but after that, his follow ups were pretty fast. He first, said the package was lost and he filed a claim, offered me alternative choices for toys (which I declined), then he helped me setup a complaint in order to provide a full refund. So, I can't really give him a negative feedback since he was helpful in providing a full refund promptly.

    But, as mentioned earlier, jchung aka cskj will take long to ship, so watch out for that.

  2. I had bad experience with ebay seller jchung. He is not a macross world member as far as I know so it may be slightly irrelevant except that he regularly sells Yamato Macross collectibles on ebay and I want to let you all know that I (as well as others) have had less than perfect experience with him.

    The bottom line is that I did finally get the item I purchased but it was over a month after I payed for it when he had quoted me, previous to my buying, that it would arrive in 7 to 10 days. There was a lot of back and forth emails and excuses and I would have bought his story if it was not for the fact that he was giving the same exact story to another MW member here who bought a similar item from him (same item different auction - buy it now) and that it turns out he has a history of taking far too long to ship.

    Anyway just a heads up to anyone here who is tempted by his low prices, if you go with him be prepared for a head ache and to spend over a month wondering if you will ever see your purchase or not.

    I did get my item so why am I saying it was bad experience? Because previously to buying it I had contacted him asking when it would arrive to me and he said 7 to 10 business days when it turns out that he did not even take the item to the post office until a month had passed from the buy it now date. My advice is to avoid jchung but if you do not mind waiting over a month and being told many different stories (one of which was that in HK the post office gets 4 days off for new year) then you may be happy with the competitive prices.

    /warning>

    Okay, I guess I should've checked this thread sooner. But, I ordered a valk from an ebay seller named "cskj"in the beginning of Jan and haven't received the valk or a refund yet. I will wait a little bit longer, but I just noticed his email is also listed as jchung and he sells from Hong Kong.

    So, just a warning to others as jchung possibly has a new alias, cskj, and this new profile has 100% feedback so far (about 3 neutral ratings).

  3. Amazon JP and US still have them from 3rd party seller. But you may want to wait a bit since their asking price is egregious. :angry:

    How about standalone (HD re-master) version? I know all people recommending limited box set. I am probably the only one ordering standalone. But I think it is the one that we fans are craving for. Theatrical release and extra stuffs are nice but in my mind they don’t stand up to the re-master disk.

    Amazon JP has standalone version in stock and they offer discount. They only ships via Fedex Express though.

    Thanks for the info Super O. I really wanted that box set though, but wow, amazon US is pricey

  4. I just got back from the midnight showing, and I thought it rocked. We had a good crowd and everyone cheered for Prime. Not much in the way of dialogue and plot, but as a popcorn action movie it worked well enough. I liked all the homages given to the G1 TF's and the TF Movie (Kup scene anyone? Awesome!); I'll give Bay a big plus for those additions.

    I still hate the designs and it was hard to tell some of the TFs apart from one another during action sequences b/c they're all mostly gray in color.

  5. Depending on your area, it will be hard/not hard to get. In my area, most stores are getting b/t 30-50 and some are getting 120. If you're in the bay area (California), Daily City is the place to be - 120 units at both targets 5 min apart.

    I'm just gonna go about a few hours before opening to pick one up as a gift. Of course, after PS3's launch, a lot of bummed/burned people might be hunting for Wii's, haha

    Good luck to you guys.

  6. Hey guys,

    This should help: Here's a site that will tell you the amount / allocation of wii's in the US on Launch Morning. Just pick a Target near you with sufficient supply and go there a few hours before 6AM. And, this is all legit - its Target's actual confirmed allocations

    Target's Wii Inventory locator (with Google Maps)

    There'll be plenty of Wii's to go around, just make sure you get there early.

    As for me, I might go for the hell of it. I just got lucky this morning and got a Wii preorder from ToysRus =)

  7. I was at the show, but I only got to videotape the first 3 or 4 songs b/c I had to leave for a dinner. I got the entire DYRL song though :) When I get the time, I'll put together a short compilation of clips and host them somewhere...any ideas on where to host large files?

    I also got a few clips of fans (possible MWers?) getting autographs on their macross collectibles and taking their pictures with Mari. In the meantime, here's a quick pic

  8. He says, "The '24' movie would be a two-hour representation of a 24-hour day. That would be the first time that we would not do something in real time, but the characters would obviously all be derivative of the show.

    I don't know how fans would react to that. I mean they'd go see the movie but then it would force certain continuity problems if it was done between TV seasons ( the X Files movie problem) Maybe it would be easier to create an interconnecting story of six 24 minute segments so you could keep the cliffhanger aspect of the show intact. (5 conflict segments and the last one resolving all of them together and you could keep the concept of '24' a functional number related to the story. )

    I passed by the bookstore this past weekend and glanced through the first official issue of the 24 Magazine. It had more discussions about the possible movie. Sutherland said that the movie would possibly include an entirely different cast, part or not part of CTU. Wow, without Jack in the movie, I really would wonder how it would do.

  9. I just read this on some gossip column on the web. Don't know how true it is, but just throwing it out there:

    ========================

    (sfgate.com)

    Sutherland Reveals '24' Movie Plans

    Hollywood actor Kiefer Sutherland has confirmed popular TV drama "24" is to hit the big screen.

    Sutherland, who plays federal agent Jack Bauer on the show, recently joked a spoof version would make great cinema viewing.

    But he now tells MTV.com plans for a straight blockbuster film are already in motion.

    He says, "The '24' movie would be a two-hour representation of a 24-hour day. That would be the first time that we would not do something in real time, but the characters would obviously all be derivative of the show.

    "The timing issue is something the writers are working on right now. But the sky's the limit at that point for them, because we would not be restricted by the time element."

  10. Yeah, now with this Logan plot, they will have to do a lot of backtracking. But, I guess the producers don't care. To me, its inexplicable how Logan could be behind this. Completely illogical, as he is already the President of the most powerful nation. Plus, he was a total coward when former President Palmer helped him out last season. Don't get me wrong though, I'm still excited, but just want more clarification why Logan is doing this. Does he just want to be president forever? Just change your name to Bush....and have a few sons...lol

  11. I arrived here when the Yamato Macross Plus VF-11B's came out. I bought one on ebay and just needed to find a place where they talked about it. Of course, dear Google led me straight to MW.

    I can't believe its been 5-6 years for me. Its always great to have a great forum to check out the latest news. You never really notice how important MW is in your life until you sit down in front of your computer one night, and see that the forums are down b/c Shawn is upgrading the server, lol.

  12. I still shed a tear whenever I watch Prime's death scene. It was pretty traumitizing as a kid, b/c no one could explain how a robot dies. Especially when you saw that chump Ultra Magnus get blown apart and thrown back together by the Junkions.

  13. Did anyone pick up Metroid Prime Hunters?

    I picked up mine last night and tried out some multiplayer. It was late at night so I set my wireless play to search anyone in the world and when I finally got into a match, I was quite surprised that there wasn't any noticeable lag. Very fun and fast gameplay. Its nice to be able to deathmatch from my bed while my gf is asleep, haha. I haven't tried mario kart online but I';m pretty impressed with this online experience.

    The only bad thing is that my hands still hurt after playing for 5 min. I wish the touch screen was closer to my right hand...maybe even taking the place of the buttons for this type of game.

    Well, if anyone picks it up, we can post out friend codes up here so we can add each other to our lists and have a friendly MW match sometime.

  14. I'm playing catch-up with the series.  Whatever happened to Kim anyway?  Bringing her back will only serve to make her a hostage for someone, though...

    Kim has been taking care of Chase somewhere in Northern Cali.

    I think Jack had a line last season that said Chase was working at some private security firm and he and Kim bought a house in Valencia, CA.

    Funny, b/c when I met Elisha Cuthbert at WonderCon last year she said she would be back...I didn't know it would be a year later...

    I think its time for Tony to wake up!
