So I go to buy this today with some birthday wishlist money and apparently Amazon has put it under review: http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Seven-The-C ... NVTNVUSGTW

Anyone know why?

Maybe the legal issues? I swear, some fans piss me off. If this prevents Ultra Q from being released I'll be furious

Oh you got to be kidding me... I think the same thing happened with the SHMA Ghidorah when fans that didn't even have the figure reported it as faulty because of the wings...

Crap...maybe I should go order this elsewhere as quickly as possible.

It was on my Amazon wish list for either Christmas or my birthday (coming soon)... so if its not here by then I think I will do the same

I started watching this series after finally finishing Ultraman earlier this week. I wasn't 100% sure what to expect for Ultra Seven, but it really surprised me. It is a lot different than Ultraman, but is still recognizably part of the same series.

I'm really enjoying the more serious feel it seems to have. Ultraman seemed really goofy sometimes, in an intentional way. Ultra Seven seems to take itself more serious (even if the premise itself isn't a lot more different than Ultraman). Seems like a nice mix of Dr. Who, X-Files and giant monster movies.

On the subject of cases getting damaged, while my Ultra Seven was in perfect condition (I ordered from Shout! themselves if it makes any difference), I did have issues with one or two of their individual Power Rangers releases, with the plastic hinges inside the DVD case being broken. So maybe it has something to do with the quality of the cases they're using.

Also, perhaps a number of people could have complained to Amazon because they disagreed with this not being an unauthorized Tsuburaya release (which would be a stupid reason, if you feel this is a legitimate complaint, either don't buy it or contact Shout! about it), or maybe a combination of both issues.

I really hope so. I also hope that Shout doesn't cancel it if Message from Space and Johnny Sokko don't sell well (though both should sell decently, Johnny Sokko in particular).

I think a lot of kaiju fans are really anticipating the release of Ultra Q in a way that's pretty unique. Granted, kaiju fans might be a small portion of the Western fans of Japanese pop culture fan base...but I think we'll all do what we can to support Ultra Q as much as when can if it ever comes out here.
