Guangdong Qianhe Audio & Video is pleased to debut the new Collector's Edition of Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles to fans at the 4th annual China International Cartoon and Animation Festival.
This special 2-disc set, supervised by Guangdong Qianhe Audio & Video, features the award winning film with digital audio in both Chinese (2.0) and English (5.1) with over 140 minutes of bonus content, including new Chinese material exclusive to region 6!
The BIG news is Robotech® The Shadow Chronicles® RPG shipped to distributors Thursday, March 20, and should be hitting store shelves around April third. We had so many mail orders (several hundred) that it took us two days to ship them all. A hundred or so went out Thursday, with the rest, a few hundred more, shipping out Friday. Seven of us, including the Palladium crew, intern, Margaret Hailey, and pal, Josh Hilden, in town to help with the prep for Palladium’s big move, boxed and packed books till 8:30 Thursday night so we could get everyone’s books out to them as quickly as possible.
Those of you who ordered books via UPS and Priority Mail will get them next week. Those of you who ordered via Media Mail will need to remain patient. Media Mail is extremely unreliable and may take a few days to arrive for some and as long as three weeks for others. Hopefully, most of you will get it in only a week or two.
So what’s the initial reaction? Folks are loving it. Comments have included things such as. “Wow, it looks fantastic.†“I didn’t think I’d like the small size, but I do. It’s comfortable.†“I love the cover and interior art.†“I can’t believe how much new material is present, but you keep the Robotech® feel I remember.†“When are sourcebooks coming out? I want more!â€
Those are exactly the reactions we were all hoping for, and we think most of you will agree. Please let us know what you think.
The Robotech® The Shadow Chronicles® Role-Playing Game picks up where the DVD movie begins.
