Nothing really new, but I did stumble across this 2011 cover of Ai, Oboete Imasuka.

I thought it was neat. lol

Are they giving you an equivalent amount of points? Even HLJ offers credits instead of full refunds but it's usually optional and not compulsory. I don't see the problem unless you don't plan on shopping there anymore.

They're giving me points excluding shipping charges. I don't plan on buying anything ever again from this shop. They don't care if they send you defective stuff.

They want to keep your money and that's it.

Oh wow. After I accepted AmiAmi's "offer". They now say I won't get any of my money back. They'll just give me points to use on their site.

I'm tired of this.

Looks like it is time for a PayPal claim.

They're offering all of that of their own volition and not threatening to ban you from the store? Take it, it's what I fought them tooth and nail for weeks for and I can't shop there anymore.

I took it. They said they would ban me if I'd push for a complete refund. I feel like the store can't really be Japanese run.

I feel like Japanese business practices are supposed to be better than this?

They're offering to pay for return shipping and the item price, but still holding out on the original amount I paid for shipping.

Should I take it or keep pushing for a complete refund?

I don't care if I get banned from their site, it's a bad business practice anyways. Good riddance.

^They're actually offering you more than they've done in the past. Their standard response used to be that they could do nothing for international buyers on certain products not licensed outside of Japan, and Macross merchandise are the poster children for this category -- they even included a disclaimer card in the box to let you know upfront that you're SOL if something was defective/broken. That's not to defend AmiAmi; they should stand behind everything they sell 100%, as a matter of best business practice; however, to the best of my knowledge, HLJ is the only online retailer that refunds the total cost and offers to cover return shipping.

I've ordered internationally unlicensed products form japan before and this one Japanese store actually sent me a whole brand new item without any extra charge and let me keep the original defective item. I guess it all depends on the person selling the goods.

AmiAmi are offering to pay for return shipping, but not refunding me the full price that I paid including the original shipping costs. Strange.

If they're willing to pay for return shipping, why can't they cover the original shipping?

That sucks, but that's the chances you'll have to take if you buy anything overseas. AmiAmi wont do anything for minor issues like small painting errors or misaligned intake labels. But the bent landing gear is something you can negotiation with them, but even then they will probably only give you back at most 5% or something. lol. Is the Bent landing gear fixable?

In Amiami's view, you brought a brand new vf-0d from them and they shipped you a brand new vf--0d, it's not their fault that your vf-0d has bent landing gears. transaction completed. that's pretty much how they work. don't expect after transaction customer service.

Also because the Vf-0d is no longer in stock the exchange option is not gonna happen, and for the refund, they might ask you to pay for the return shipping and they will refund you the item price only.

Filing a claim with paypal will get their attention, but they might also ban you from ever order from them again, yeah they do that sometimes.

The 0D is in stock on AmiAmi's site. Even though the defects are not completely their fault, they should at least consider an exchange. What reputable place have you ever bought a defective item from and not been able to return/exchange it? lol

They are offering me a refund, but like you said they are offering only to refund the base price excluding shipping charges. AmiAmi has no customer service. Period. More like customer disservice.

Ordered my 0D from AmiAmi, It has some problems. The biggest of which is a bent landing gear and some painting errors along with misaligned intake labels. I just pulled out the landing gear for the first time and it looked like that. I didn't even transform it yet.

I emailed AmiAmi hoping for an exchange, but they are refusing. I replied back with wanting a refund instead. Looks like I'm going to have to file a claim with PayPal.

I'll try not to order anything from AmiAmi from now on.

You mean this one...?

Yea! That's the one! Thanks!

Just found this on the interents and wanted to share. Awesome if you're a fan of the Touhou series of Shmups/Bullet Hell games.

I've also seen a Macross 7 AMV of Mylene walking to the left. The AMV has brand new animation made from scratch using modern animation techniques and was made by a talented Macross 7 fan artist I believe.

I tried looking for the video but to no avail. =(

Anyone seen it around?

Anybody know yet what the conditions are for getting the different endings?

It's in that translation guide by Zoroastres.

Also, does anyone know what happens if you connect Macross Ultimate or Triangle Frontier to the PS3? Or what it said about them on the back of the packaging?

Having trouble coming in silver for the Level 10 Archipelago Vanquish race to get the YF-21 FAST Pack. I've got the route down pat, and my best timing still comes up 45 seconds short of 4 minutes in an overtuned Level 1 YF-29. Anyone have any tips on getting the pack?

Really? You just need to control your machine a little better.

Use the air brakes to make sharper turns or cut your engines for those sharp turns. Press triangle to cut engines and twice to air break. All in Fighter mode of course!

I got it using a level 1 maxed out vf-11b with fast pack with 10 seconds to spare.

Thanks to the Speakerpodcast I found out that Controller Type A is the closest to the PSP controls that I'm used to.

Is there a way to change the Controller Type in the menu?

It's in the Options menu. You can access it in-game (in-flight) or on the Gefion Bridge. Options is this BTW. オプション

The intro to the game is here!

Basara in a different anime? Kudos to whoever figures out which one!

Does anybody know if there is a Macross Frontier Movie OST coming? They have new remixes of the songs such as Alto's Theme in the movie.

The guitar part sounds awesome. anyone have any tabs? =P

This site is very nice. Makes me a fan of the VF-2SS

I wonder if anyone will make a site like this for any of the other Valkyries?

Nice.

When you're done, do you mind posting your tab of What 'bout my star please?

I was wondering if anyone can get a hold of Seikan Hikou and Triangler tabs on this site?

Also, I'm trying to download this Seikan Hikou tab from the site, but I don't know any Japanese, can some please help?

I just thought I should contribute this.

So lame, I know. =P

Sorry for the noobiness of my tab for all those guitar pros here that have already mastered triangler.

If someone can complete it, that would be awesome.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but here's a

In the background of the Macross special site here.

The background has some moving images and videos and some of them have totally reanimated and redrawn scenes from the original Macross opening.

I never knew they reanimated Macross!

Found a video of it on

Is there a full video of these somewhere?

I was wondering if anyone could supply me with a pic of the final scene when Hikaru's in the Strike Valkyrie and has all of his weapons aimed at Bodolza's head with Minmei in the background.

Thanks a lot!!!

K. Thanks a lot!

I was wondering what kind of guitar tabs does the book have? Is it of main riffs or just like background music for electric guitars?
