    This has been asked several times before. There really are no available "hard" numbers when it comes to Macross. The only figure ever really tossed around that actually came directly from former Takatoku/Bandai execs was the claim of 1M VF-1J units sold during the SDFM Era. Before 2002 and immediately after 1984-1985...there was a large chunk of time where officially released Macross merch was few and far between.....after the release of DYRL, the only merch that came after were the 3 Bandai HCM VF-1s, a "resurrection" Super VF-1S in 1990, and then a few Macross 7 toy releases and accompanying music releases during the release of M7.....it wasn't until the re-release of the old Takatoku 1/55's molds that things started to pick up again, in terms of merch for Macross. Those releases eventually lead to the rise of Yamato, which was a sort of new "golden age" of Macross toy releases. There was an old toy trade publication called Toy Journal that may have contained the "sales figures" you seek, but I am not 100% sure if that info would be available within those toy trade industry magazines. I have a few from the SDFM era, but have not looked particularly "hard" into trying to see if that information exists within them. Additionally, they are hard to come by, at least covering the years you would need. It would be "nice" to have this info, but honestly, it may not be worth the effort to try and gain it. I have always wanted a book dedicated to the "merch of Macross throughout the years", but that will probably never happen.

    We already have enough "toy display" threads...this thread and the "non-Macross" latest purchase thread should just feature boxed, non-displayed toys only...

    I think this thread should be just pre-displayed and boxed toys only... We already have several/enough display threads....

    So the lowest Japan price on PO day with fastest shipping was about $105 total.... Best price so far is E-Knight with free shipping....$115.70 total.. I am pretty sure this will change either prior to release or in the weeks after....it's release in the US will be right around the start of the holiday shopping season...surely there will be some deals to be had... Of course, if you just can't wait to get your hands on the smirking-faced VF, then money is no object!...

    Pretty sure the target audience is between 2-11.... The fact that you actually watched it means you either have kids in elementary school or had absolutely nothing else to do on that day...lol

    It also doesn't help that it apparently has nothing to do with the upcoming DC-Gunn-verse....more interested in how that plays out than giving any more time/money towards more "stand-alone" DC movies...

    Don't you want to know how the Mandoverse ultimately leads to the Sequel Trilogy?

    From the Macross Lean Years..... It seems like such a long time ago that Macross Collectors had virtually nothing available to buy....

    Figure King #314.....Issue contains a retrospective on "all things" Macross 7 to commemorate it's 30th Anniversary....covers the various M7 TV and OVA shows, plus some of the books, toys and music produced for the M7 shows....along with some lineart and other character art plus interviews with it's creators.....a nice pick up if you can find it used, not a "must buy" as much of what is covered has been covered in more detail in several other M7 published artbooks....
