Pier Solar: Official Thread

Oh man. Should I or should I not spend the extra money on a Genny version of the "classic" run?

I ordered me a "reprint" copy as soon as it was made available. I really don't mind the B&W booklet. In fact, I love the grid art and the fact it's a hard, plastic clamshell akin to the original games. I don't mind not having the disc (to a certain extent). It's just that that red striped genny "classic" box looks sooo beautiful.

On the other hand, with Pier Solar already ordered, I could be looking at Wukong and Star Odyssey (maybe even another run of Beggar Prince). What do you guys think?

Yaaaaahooeey it's finally HERE!!!!!! :o "USA CLASSIC" non-posterity version!

Oh man and just earlier today, I won a bid on Ebay for Super Hydlide (CIB and CHEAP), thinking I was going to get PS until spring! Oh, and I had a 50 / 50 shot about whether I had changed my address before the final e-mail reminder went out and I did! Has everyone who has the game ever had to sign for theirs? The postman just left it at my apartment without signature (YIKES!)! I'm just glad I live in a good building with respectful neighbors who don't snoop around other people's mail. :)

I had to sign for mine. Your mail sounds almost as bad as when I lived in Arizona - the mailman actually left a package for me on top of the community box!

Thank goodness I didn't plunk down the extra $$$ for the reprint! I'm saving it for Star Odyssey! Hell Yeah!

Thank You Watermelon Team for Pier Solar!!!!! :notworthy:

So has everyone got their copy now? I've been trying to be patient but now I'm getting a bit paranoid that its been lost in transit or something:daze:

no.
also I hate everyone who already got their copy.

Still waiting. :(

Does Australia Post hate me?

Two parcel notifications so far... all just various chargers.

I'm still waiting too!

I'm from Quebec, Canada, and still waiting too, just to reassure others, you are not alone:)!

I understand the basic concept of contrast, but the main difference between the pics was that one Bonk was drawn at full resolution, and the other Bonk was a blocky image upscaled from a lower resolution. You may not be able to see this if you are viewing the forums on your phone. Try viewing from a real computer and you will see.

Yes, I had to sign for my copy. If you are not home, you get a note from the post orifice left in your box telling you to bring that and some ID down to the PO tomorrow to pick it up (they usually keep international packages for a month before they return them).
