    Honestly, from watching my old AnimEigo DVD set and my Lionsgate/A&E Networks Robotech Complete Set, the video quality is identical. They look like they were definitely taken from the same video source and AnimEigo is credited with "footage restoration" on the Robotech set. This leads me to believe they used AnimEigo's restored Macross footage for every release after, including re-creating Robotech's edited footage with it, yet didn't use their remastered audio for whatever reason.

    I honestly feel the opposite. lol

    They cut a minute of content from each episode specifically so they could have a longer opening theme, longer ending theme, and "next episode" previews. That's how they made it fill Japanese TV time slots.

    Their size is so obvious if you even do the smallest bit of research on Tomica, though... It's just Takara-Tomy's equivalent to Hot Wheels. These are going to be around the size of a Hot Wheels car. It's not goddamn rocket science, people!

    It's always so fascinating for me to hear about events that happened in fandoms long before I was ever a part of them. Though it is frustrating to get into something, only to find out that its only physical releases in the USA came out when I was an infant or child and are now loooooong out of print and very expensive... I paid way too much for this Macross set, but it was still cheaper than what ADV's set is going for! Though... I paid around the same amount as its original retail price mentioned above, so I guess that's not horrible?

    I think my only complaint with the set is that it takes up a ludicrous amount of space on the shelf. lol

    Yeah, Hasbro has said in the past that ownership of exclusives reverts to them at some point and that there are past very rare exclusives the design team badly wants to reissue, but they have to wait the 3 or 4 years before they can do so first.

    Thanks for posting that link so I could secure them. Missed out on Trailbreaker the first time around and been eager for Earth Mode Hound, so this + better versions of guys I already have is good.

    The thing here is that the DX Chogokin toys are faaaaar out of my price range... and the recent release of the Strike Valkyrie with exposed mechanical details just doesn't appeal to me. I think the removable panels some VF-1 Super/Strike Parts toys have are unnecessary and a feature I'd never take advantage of... so one with translucent parts to expose the detail I already don't care about or want simply makes me annoyed it wasn't a straight normal reissue of the set in a normal color scheme.

    I've been looking and the old 1/55 "chunky monkey" Valkyries are all going for around $500 now, even the reissues are around $300-ish... A 1/55 chunky monkey in bad shape is still $200. I refuse to pay that much for something that isn't PERFECT.

    I was an infant when this set was released, so I'm pretty happy to have found a copy! I paid way more than I should have, but I felt like I needed to have it.

    I was thinking much the same, from my own research. HMR seems perfect for me size-wise, but the prices are still just a tad steep for me. They definitely look like they're worth they're asking price, but I definitely wouldn't be able to amass as many as I'd like to very fast. Still the cheapest option out there that isn't a model kit or total crap, though. Another problem is the current aftermarket prices for some of the older releases I really want, particularly Hikaru's VF-1S Strike Valkyrie from DYRL, being kinda ludicrous.

    As someone who has only been into Macross for about a month now, what would be the best Macross toyline to get into first? Especially for someone like me who doesn't have a ton of space and definitely cannot afford things in the price range of the DX Chogokin toys.

    My Missing Link Convoy is on the way... I can't wait for it to arrive! I got the toy colors version.

    Thank you! Glad to be here.

    I've only ever seen one listing for a copy with multicolored cases, so I assume the owner just did that themselves. I think the set ONLY ever came in black cases, officially. I actually just bought a copy of this set a few weeks back, really love having it! Not bad for only being a Macross fan for about a month now. lol
