  1. Well for many western fans yes that is a good hope. I mean, I'm good and kindled, and the Japanese audience seems to have a roaring fire still (some might say... Bomba..) but yeah, a show more of the fans here enjoy, especially on this forum, would be awesome.
  2. I prefer to follow the view of my man Bucakroo Banzai, "No matter where you go, there you are." Macross will always be somewhere, and Kawamori willing somewhere new and interesting every time, even if it doesn't always lead to the best result, it will lead somewhere.
  3. This is what really saddens me. Maybe it is a sign of me being in that right age bracket that utilized both forms of online social spaces. I am in the social networks but mostly as a matter of course and to keep up with people I know... but places like these forums, I grew up on this, I love this stuff. I know you are right that it's fading and has been, but I still would prefer it to stay. To be on the topic a bit, I actually like Delta fine, but with the caveat that the second half is definitely broken in many ways. No need to go into it really, we all have before. I look forward to getting to see the movie since it supposedly did the story something better. Most importantly, nothing about Delta has soured my love of Macross and I eagerly anticipate whatever comes next.
  4. That probably isn't the entire OST, which is quite larger than 38 minutes going by what I have in my library (it is a 3 disc set, though at least one disc is entirely DYRL). A lot of songs have repeating motifs in them but that just sounds like the classic Dogfight track to me. Edit: Guess I was wrong, but like said, a lot of recurring musical motifs, heh.
  5. Good to know, thanks. I don't care for the Draken attachments for the 31F, but I have to say, that is a pretty lame way to roll them out, selling an entire 31F with the clips only, and then the Draken's separately? You'd think they could sell the clips with the Drakens for people like me who have a 31F already. Again, I'm not actually interested in this, just speaking generally.
  6. I've been not following this thread since I got my 31A from CDJ about 2 months ago so I thought I'd look in and I'm amazed the NY release delay is still going on. I'm glad to see they are fulfilling the orders even if late but my condolences for those having to wait even still. More to my purpose, I don't suppose any word is out on 31A supers? I know Mirage supers just went out due to pictures being posted everywhere and I guess 31F with Lil Drakens is coming soon so I'm not sure how much might happen at once. I'm mostly curious cause I don't want it to be too soon. I can't afford them yet lol.
  7. The VF-171EX was a version of the VF-171 retrofitted to work with Ex-Gear (sort of a stop gap before Frontier NUNS could mass produce VF-25s for themselves in general). I am unsure if other VF-171s, including those in Delta, had Ex-Gear retrofits or not.
  8. Little show off pic of first display. Sadly I just moved and my 31F and YF-30 are in storage or I'd get a group pic together. Happy birthday (it's later this week) to me.
  9. And I was right, it was today!
  10. Wow, Spanner got his shipment confirmation after me and got his delivery sooner, lol. Different country of course. I am hoping for mine today.
  11. Looks like my 31A from CDJ is stuck at customs over the weekend but I know it's in America at least so I'll see it this week. Monday if I'm lucky, but I'll hope for Tuesday just in case lol.
  12. Been a couple days since there was an update on package tracking for me. Either it hasn't left Japan or they just aren't bothering to update now. Hopefully it gets here soon.
  13. CDJ seems to be processing shipments for most now, though some people are getting their shipment confirmations later than others. I got it earlier than Spanner for example. Maybe that is because he is in Austrailia? Who knows, but at least it's going. There is one who got a cancellation from CDJ though, but seems to be in the minority thankfully (no offense to that guy, sorry bro).
  14. I'm really glad to see people are getting their CDJ shipping notices. I also got my shipment confirmation message today. I wish I knew why they were keeping me informed faster than others like Spanner, but at least they are moving for others too now. I don't know if I'll avoid any particular sellar in the future though... I figure get what to can from wherever.... but this is likely my last VF-31 purchase. I never intended to get a lot (I have a 31F, a 262, and now this 31A). I might be tempted by 31A super parts, don't care about armored personally. We'll see. I skipped on 31F supers due to price point so I don't know. Plus the 31 is beautiful without supers, and with it is mostly the battroid I like.
  15. I wish I had an explanation why things are looking more positive for me with CDJ than most others, but I have no idea. I really do hope other CDJ orderers get there stuff as well.
  16. I got a message from CDJ confirming my approval of the new shipping price and saying it would be in shipping process tomorrow and they'd send a shipment confirmation once that happened. I hope that other CDJ orders from people here also get shipped as well.. Seems there is evidence there might be some scarcity.
  17. Might be because I ordered EMS.. the first estimate for SAL or what have you may have been correct if you did that.
  18. Yeah no official shipping notice, but my order status says in shipping process now since that shipping charge update. Maybe by tomorrow morning I'll see something (I know it is Monday there already, but still.. I can dream).
  19. Yeah Galaxy essentially developed the VF-27 illegally in both versions of the show.
  20. Well I shelled out for EMS so my shipping is 5200 yen. Not ideal but I won't have to wait I guess.
  21. I only got the email about the new shipping charge and that once they got my approval it'd begin the shipping process. I have not received a shipping confirmation yet, but I expect it soon.
  22. Just got an email from CDJ saying my order is entering shipping phase. They need me to approve the updated shipping charge though. It was roughly 2000 yen more I think, I didn't calculate it exactly, I knew I'd still pay it. Anyway, watch out for that fellow CDJ buyers. Looks like it's finally happening. EDIT: I just checked, they asked for an extra 1500 yen for shipping than the original estimate. They say it is due to new info on package weight but I also changed shipping address so that might affect it.
  23. Thanks for the heads up, I hope to hear news this weekend now.
  24. Well that is certainly curious. I only have one 31A on order at CDJ but like Spanner and Mommar I have not seen any movement on it. It is strange only one person here seems to have had that happen yet the company claims it simply doesn't have them yet. Is it possible they are mistaken as to the company as mcfly was? Not that it matters in the long run I suppose. I just hope we get them before April lol.
  25. For what it is worth for other CDJ people, I also ordered mine from CDJ and am waiting. I've been less concerned cause I've spent this whole week moving (I have the order set to ship to the new address already), so I've had a lot to distract me. CDJ never explicitly said it's ship on the 15th though... maybe it is like NY and going out on the 24th? I guess we'll only know when we know. I get the feeling that one person who said they got a CDJ shipping notice (only one person out of many who haven't) may have been wrong somehow, but no way to be sure unless they speak up again. Either way, it's a waiting game.
