At long last
I, finally, purchased Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles earlier today at Wal-Mart for only $19.99. No kidding. :D
Farewell, Darkwater. :(
As you've heard by now, Darkwater has resigned from reporting Robotech and Robotech-related news as of yesterday, March 11th, 2007.
I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
