I'd need to check the book out again...I do recall lots of weaponry swapping among the destroids...but don't remember if they used destroid weapons on the valks..... But, yeah...not entirely a new concept I guess....Macross the First just took it further into the WTF area!

We are discussing events that did not happen....so, of course, everything concerning "why we do not have a Spartan or Phalanx" will be based on assumptions.... Here's another assumption.....anyone who purchased BOTH the tomahawk and defender would probably have purchase a phalanx and spartan (either at launch or at some point)..... Those who actually bought (canon) tomahawks and defenders seemingly did not buy the non-canon versions.......I do not think that is an assumption based on how the non-canon versions languished at retail...... Sadly, all this negatively affected Yamato's perception on the success of a spartan and phalanx.....I hope they will eventually come to reality, but if not....there will always be something else to spend your money on....

I don't think you can equate people not "wanting" something because they do not buy the available alternative...in the case of the destroid line..non-canon schemes...I think the destroid line would have sold much better if fans were given the opportunity to purchase all four destroids upon initial release (minus the monster for obvious reasons), instead of being left to make a decision to buy without knowing whether or not they would be left with an incomplete line (again, I think the monster would be understandable and could not be expected to be made at least not as a general release).....guess we'll never know.... Yamato offered non-canon schemes before that also sold poorly....why would they think non-canon schemes for the destroid line would have sold better? Not a dumb move? Going forward, I hope Arcadia will make things based on what their customers really want, instead of making assumptions..... I'll give them a pass on the 30th Anniversario for now....
-
Nah....they should have released all 4 different destroids at once.....and not 2 and then 2 "olive" editions.....followed by 2 weathered regular and then 2 weathered olive.....dumb move......and dumber of Yamato to then think the fans do not want destroids.....the fans want canon first and to be able to complete canon sets first.....then they can get creative....but within reason.....like these instead:
-
LOL....every company that has ever produced a destroid line has completed the line...the phalanx and spartan included....heck...even the original Robotech toys had them....Yamato was the first to drop the ball....
-
Arcadia can easily do that now via their website.....they can do that with any VF (VF-2SS), Destroid (Spartan and/or Phalanx), enemy mech (Regult), etc that they believe is "risky as a general release".....they can simply put out a list/poll, ask for people to vote with their wallets (full payment upfront) and if they receive enough interest/cash...they can produce it...if there is not enough interest for a particular toy, you simply get your money back and never ask again or hope for any model that does not gain enough support to ever be produced.....

Cold hard cash! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hobby-Master-1-48-USN-Modern-Carrier-Deck-display-section-2-HD2005-/121186926963 You can probably also find them elsewhere.....the support vehicles and figurines are a combination of EXO designs and Hobbymaster diecast accessories....for some dumb reason Hobbymaster has stopped producing them and are near impossible to find....been looking for more with no luck....at least not from places in the US Not sure if EXO is still making his accessories...but he should!
