Where can I find these knockoffs?

These were Taiwanese knockoffs of the SDF Macross & the Variable Fighters 01A, 01J, & 01S. They were poorly made & broke 5mins after you take them out the box. These were the toys that introduce me to Macross pre-ROBOTECH. Here's some links:

Holy crap, I'm glad I got a Joons VF-1J back when I did, when you could still get them easily.

These things make me glad I never found them when I was desperate for a VF-1 valkyrie back in the mid-90s (if that's from when those knockoffs are from).

No, I used to collect them back in the mid-eighties(Just when the big robot craze was going on). The Asian & jewelry shops in the Downtown area where I'm from had loads of these. They used to sell them 2 for $5.00 U.S. There were knockoffs for both Lion & Vehicle Voltron too.

Hmm, the SDF doesn't look that bad... not perfect, but compared to the Valks it's a work of art.

I'm pretty sure i had this one as a kid - http://www.toyarchive.com/Robotech/st7/kovf1s.html

But i remember mine being much more greyer than that. Maybe mine was a knock off of that haha.

A knock off of a knock off.

I also had the SDF-1 too. Long gone now, into the abyss of timeeeeeee.................

My brother had the SDF-1 Knockoff and I had the VF-1S one, when were kids. We got them from a drug store in the 80's.
