Mine hasn't even shipped from RightStuf yet.

ThisIsJonny · 11-13-2016, 05:33 PM

Now the status has changed from "preparing for shipment" to "shipping today".

Edit: It has been shipped!

Due to a tightening budget, I issued a request to cancel my preorder Saturday. I don't care about the coin, but how good are my chances to get the series box approximately six months from now?

Good. I always wait for them to go on sale before I buy them.

They still have the limited edition box for Season 1 available, and it's been out for 2 years. You're fine.

Nostalgic Twilight · 11-13-2016, 07:39 PM

Well, there's always the possibility that Viz will produce a smaller quantity due to the amount of previous LE sets that remain unsold, but I do agree with the above posters that the set will most likely still be around in six months.

Snl40boi · 11-13-2016, 10:34 PM

Rightstuf still says pending fulfillment. I think they should be shipping tonight or maybe Monday. But this is crazy the last few sets shipped out 2 weeks before. So does this mean all the other sets will ship. The weekend or day before release day or even on release date?

Bobo1313 · 11-13-2016, 11:37 PM

There not open on the weekends, so they will probably ship tomorrow.

So... can we just talk about the fact that the R movie footage in that trailer is actually HD? Not an upscale? A fresh HD telecine?

Um... holy shit?

I know! I thought the films were going to be a "The Great Adventure of Horus, Prince of the Sun" situation where it's just an upscaled version of a DVD (ironically an upscale of a Laserdisc release). Here's to the S and SuperS films getting similar treatment.

Makoto in the third clip, seeing drunk Usagi stumble into frame: "...Oh my God" Heh.

ThisIsJonny · 11-14-2016, 02:47 PM

Yeah, I laughed when Mako said that.

Haha.

Snl40boi · 11-14-2016, 04:22 PM

Rightstuf hasn't shipped yet but they are looking at orders. My order misktake was fixed, not sure when they will ship. At this rate we won't get this till next week.

Dailyan · 11-14-2016, 05:02 PM

I'll admit I was slightly disappointed that they didn't use Johnny Yong Bosch, Patrick Seitz, and Marc Diraison for the thinly disguised Jonathan, Dio and George characters.

Snl40boi · 11-14-2016, 05:38 PM

Finally got the email. My order has shipped

I'm not that surprised given that the only thing Toei Animation actually will remaster are movies, albeit with grain removal (The kind found in Cardcaptor Sakura and YuYu Hakusho). The results are pretty solid for those (Ex: Saint Seiya (The TV series on the other hand...)), though there is no Blu-ray release for this in Japan, hmm...

In my experience, ToeI doesn't sleep on remastering movies themselves. The Sailor Moon R movie popped up on Netflix Japan not long after it launched, and it was a sloppy upscale. Toei seemed to have no interest in fixing this themselves, and I'm surprised they didn't try and sell Viz another 'Oops, the masters were lost!' bullshit story but it looks like Viz finally got the memo and ponied up the cash.

Win win for us and Viz. We finally get native HD 90s Sailor Moon content, and they get to take credit for fixing the issue everyone had with their turd releases (even though the series proper still looks like ass if those new videos are anything to go off of).

Snl40boi · 11-15-2016, 05:41 AM

Just letting everyone know if you got free shipping from right stuff on your order, it won't get to you till Monday. At least that's what it's saying for me.
