I'm not hopeful they'll make the March deadline, but who knows. I did finally receive Ultracore, but still waiting on Vasara. It's pretty disappointing, how long these things take. Not sure why Limited Run can make these things happen, but Strictly Limited can't do so in a timely fashion.

Limited Run has had their share of problems and a lot more experience.

Cozmic? Without G-Darius?

I made the possible mistake of now pre-ordering the Arcade collection on top of the Console collection I pre-ordered a month or two ago. I hope I don't regret it, lol.

You and me both then. They didn't make it clear that it would take months. Also I got Vasara from Play Asia (never again with the custom's duty to the UK) so why are Strictly Limited claiming it's an exclusive?

I didn't see a release date, so i assume it's coming out Feb 28th, as that's when the J version came out last year (i think?)

It maybe due to their rights to publishing in a certain region. It has always been like that

You missed it . There was info about release in feb or march cant remeber exact, i think it was on the main page were they listed all the diffrent versions and what was included in them or it was somewhere else.

Probably a lot of effort for M2 and they didn't have the time. I do wish it was in though.

The following is an excerpt from the latest update on Darius collection release date. Hopefully all being well delivery to Strictly Limited could be last week in March then off for assembly and despatch thereafter. Looking at a mid April delivery (fingers crossed):

DARIUS - The master files are currently being QA checked by Sony and Nintendo. If no bugs are found, we will finally be able to start production. We expect the games to arrive at our new warehouse in roughly 6-8 weeks after the QA approvals. 

None of their published or stated timelines have ever been anything close to accurate.
Look a their loose language... "currently being Q/A checked" ... "if no bugs are found" .... "start production" ...."arrive roughly 6-8 weeks"
It is generous to suggest the games arrive at their warehouse before May.
Then they have to assemble the limited editions sets.
So shipping in June, at the earliest.

I believe you will be correct in your timings. I think mid April is an absolute best case scenario if the wind is behind them and all lights are on green.

Isn't all of this already readily available in Japan? Is there anything completely new here that is has to be Q/Aed again, and they took pre-orders months ago how is it just hitting Q/A? There can't be that much translation needed here, but maybe I'm wrong.

This is good news for me. I've always been worried that SLG was pulling the PS4 version out of their ass. Not at least I know they got it from Japan, so hopefully no major bugs.
