I think today I was just lucky....
Finding that 1/15th Toynami Scott Bernard Cyclone for $39.99 Missed out on a Matchbox Cyclone that was listed the other day for $34.99..... Eh well my repressed Robotech Collecting urges I had in the last two days have now forced me to sell off at least HALF my Transformer collection...and maybe half my Star Wars Action Fleet collection.... Hasn't forced me to sell any Joes yet but I got a few parts I may wanna get rid of..... Damn just some of that Macross plus stuff is awesome just too awesome. But you'd have to sell your soul to get it.... |

Robotech has always been my first childhood passion, followed by Transformers and GI Joe. I have a modest collection of Valkyries, Destroids, and DVDs. The 1/48 Yamato Valks are amazing, the Harmony Gold Masterpiece toys are hit and miss. Hoping to get a Masterpiece Cyclone sometime in the future ....

as far as the live action movie, Tobey's going to need the license from the Japanese company that created it if he wants to make a Robotech movie and base it on Macross. |

So if there is going to be a Robotech movie you'll probably see Tobey play Rick Hunter but his costume, his veritech, his character will more than likely not look like anything from Macross at all. This is one of the reasons Tommy Yune jokingly said at SD"HEY BY THE TIME WB DECIDES TO GO FORTH WITH THIS MOVIE WHO KNOWS WHAT PLANE THEY WILL BASE THE VERITECH ON!"). For those who think we will actually see Robotech in live action, think Shadow Chronicles, with the Mospeada-based mecha and uniforms; THAT's the direction Harmony Gold wants to go in, notice that NONE of the new Robotech series have prominent Macross-based designs, this is why. If you guys want to see a Macross movie you are better off waiting for the Japanese Macross Frontier anime movie in November which actually is in the same continuity as the 1st Macross(50 years later). |

I collect Macross toys, I am a big fan of Yamato's V1 1/60 VF-1(though you've probably heard my criticism regarding the shoulder hinges on the pre-Max releases).
Right now I am very excited for Tamashii's VF100's VF-19Kai Fire Valkyrie |

I`m in Have to say tho I did a big sell off a few years back & only kept my 1/18th RT stuff.
So have 2 Invid Shocktroopers,Invid Scout,2 Veritech fighters,Original figs & the larger Zents. Also have 20 of the (1/18) CM Corps Mospeada Brave Riders (inc Ley,Stick,Yellow,Lt Wolf). Plus some customs figures (characters) I`m made too from Macross,Mospeada,TSC & Macross Frontier. What I really want would be the VF1 & VF6s in fighter mode. I`d be so happy if they just did that & didn`t do triple changers. Though that would be so cool if someone did. |

I hope Harmony Gold losses the rights to Macross. 10 years of legal battle? How do they pay for their case? HG hasn't made a whole lot of money from Robotech in the last 15 years.
Licensing Robotech hasn't produced much product for western fans. Shadow Chronicles was too little too late. Fans won't buy re-released dvds forever. Toynami mechs are overpriced and poor sellers. Much were discounted. Imports had much better quality. When does HG's license run out? Robotech has run its course. Stop beating a dead horse. You can't go back to Macross as a source for a sequal becasue of legal dispute. Going forward with the unpopular Mospeada as a source was unwise. Stop, just stop! |

HG Own the rights to Robotech,there is no timeframe. The Macross aspect I truely do not know. Though I don`t understand the complete in & outs on that. It`s something where the parasites (Lawyers) get rich from being pedantic.
Here`s hoping something New & Great does come forth for both Robotech & Macross,Mospeada Fans. |
