Does this mean we'll symbolically closer to getting Macross Zero on blu-ray here, or is that result of the other lawsuit between companies in Japan? How's that one going?


No that is a different case. Another case involved Harmony Gold and Big West.

It is so blatantly true that they are selling a toy that is so Macross/Robotech just from looking at the picture.

The Valkyrie/Veritech-like toy is Jetfire, who Hasbro bought the mold of the old Macross Valkyrie of to sell as Jetfire. The toy did come out before Robotech aired.

I have the G1 Jetfire, and looking into buying swappable decals of both Autobot logos and UN Spacy logos for when i wanna change him from a TF toy to a Macross top.


Actually, the toy in question isn't even the actual Tramsformers Jetfire toy from the 80s. The toy is actually the GI Joe Skystriker toy with Jetfire's color scheme and boosters added.

Macross II and Plus proved that you don't need to hack up shows to be successful in the US. Say what you want about Animaze's/Manga's dubs, but they were at least faithful to the original Japanese scripts for said OVAs. Oh, and Richard Epcar, so Macross Plus wins, I guess.


And Bryan Cranston.

I guess Harmony Gold didn't absorb the all important maxim that "Knowing is half the battle". Rolling Eyes Yeah, I went there. *dodges rotten fruit and vegetables*

I wish Hasbro had hung in there and got conclusion from this. I'd would looked forward seeing the end of Harmony Gold's trolling on other companies who got the copyrights to the Macross franchise legally and the same way HG got in the first place.

I'm very tired of Harmony Gold, their not even in the enterainment business more than a hobby since they're more realstate outfit. Their disgusting business, to think i used charish Robotech.

Whatever they are, their not company they used to be in the 80s.
