Madman wishes to apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Dear Mad-fans and loyal customers,

We regret to inform you that due to delays in receiving materials, Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion Volume 3 originally scheduled for release in January has now been moved to a March 2009 release. This does not affect the release of volumes 1 and 2 currently scheduled for November and December respectively.

We apologies for any inconveniences this may cause and hope to continue to bring you the series in a much more patterned release in 2009.

"Star Wars: Robot Chicken Episode II" is a go. Days after the Adult Swim show landed a best animated series Emmy nomination for its "Star Wars" episode, the cable network is moving ahead with a sequel that will premiere in the U.S. on Nov. 16.

"It doesn't even seem real -- getting to make Star Wars twice!" said "Robot Chicken" co-creator Seth Green, who is set to direct the second "Star Wars"-themed episode after winning an Annie Award for helming the first one.

Many members of the voice cast from the first special, including original "Star Wars" actors Carrie Fisher and Billy Dee Williams -- reprising their roles as Princess Leia and Lando Calrissian, respectively -- are back. Also returning are Seth MacFarlane as Emperor Palpatine, Conan O'Brien as Zuckuss, Breckin Meyer as Admiral Ackbar and Boba Fett, and Ahmed Best as Jar Jar Binks. Green will voice several characters, including Ponda Baba. Joining the voice cast this time around is Andy Richter.

As for the creative direction in the sequel, "we decided to focus on the bounty hunters a bit and explore their stories," "Robot Chicken" co-creator Matt Senreich said. "It's a geek-fest for us all."

"Robot Chicken" hails from Green and Senreich's Stoopid Monkey Prods. and Alex Bulkley and Corey Campodonico's ShadowMachine Films.

The first "Star Wars: Robot Chicken" special will be released on DVD in Australia on August 6 and in New Zealand on August 21.

Retailers please note that on the order sheet for September titles, there is an error for Dragon Ball Z: Season 5 Remastered, CAT NUM MMB455.

The ordering sheet lists its release date as the 17th. The date is actually correct as per the Dealer Guide, on the 10th.

Please update your orders accordingly. Madman apologises for any inconvenience.

Due to unforeseen circumstances BECK vol 4 slated for release on April 23 will now be in stores approximately a week late. Madman wishes to apologies to all retailers and customers who may be affected by this inconvenience.
