I've Got It!
My copy of the Wing Commander movie is here! I'll have pictures of the box and other information as soon as I watch it...

The Pilgrim Cross was supposedly shipped to retailers today -- if anyone finds one, or hears anything, let us know! It's by far the most non-SPAM related thing I get mail about...
Scrapper informs me that a new version of his keen mod for Prophecy, Prophecy+ is available here. This version improves the particle gun's damage rate, lowers the porcupine's reload rate, increases the afterburner speed on the Shrike (in exchange for lowered maneuverability), updates the Midway to add ion turrets and trades the Wasp's shield strength for for increased speed and acceleration.
I saw over at The Official Descent Site of Peter Telep that the man is going to be doing a book signing at Waldenbooks... somewhere in Florida on June 26th from 2 to 4 pm. An address is given, but it doesn't specify what city... if you live in Florida, I guess you can figure it out here.
Speaking of the aforementioned site, they've added some new pictures of Mr. Telep and the movie novel from a recent convention since the last time we mentioned them... I wish I lived in Florida.
I'm confused about Pilgrim Stars -- for some reason all of the bookstores (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders) seem to list it as a children's book, and the HarperCollins Fall Catalog doesn't list it... anybody have any insight as to where it is?
Correction to earlier reports, this is what the Wing Commander DVD case looks like -- the previously reported one was the VHS version.
The below update about Gamespot's Top Ten Soundtracks isn't entirely true -- the soundtracks are listed in alphabetic order, not order of quality -- Wing Commander is simply tenth in that respect. We all know it is number 1!
I'm back from swinging Austin, baby! I love that city... aside from the fact that it was hotter than TV's Kerri-Lee. I'm all registered for August and such -- and my email address will soon change to loaf@utexas.edu. I can't believe it wasn't taken... Oh well, Chris did a kickass job of updating while I was away!
Both Apocalypse and Brian Schmoyer let me know about a new Gamespot Feature. Wing Commander has the 10th best game soundtrack of all time. They also have a tiny midi sound sample. You can find the feature here.
According to Tafkaw, the Wing Commander trailer is playing in theaters in Rotterdam, Holland. There are also posters up. He asked the local employees when they expected Wing Commander, and although they thought August, Tafkaw notes that posters usually only go up a few weeks before a movie shows in his area. This would seem to agree with the release date the CIC is currently reporting, June 24.
