I just read that Toynami and Aoshima are working on this and it should be out in '08.

alright, total virgin question, but i never got into Robotech back in the day. Does the cartoon still hold up today? For someone without the nostalgia factor, is it enjoyable? Where do I start??

Thanks!!

Just a friendly heads up to anyone excited about the upcoming Beta fighter; Scott Bernard's alpha is getting a re-release to coincide with the Beta, but with better joints and build quality. So don't rush over to ebay and drop $200+ on one of the cheaply made originals. A much better version at a fraction of the price is on the way.

Depends. The original Robotech or "Macross" I think holds up for the most part except in the ultra conservative timeperiod that seems to be now, I don't know if Kyle and Minmei's weird "I'm in love with my cousin" thing would hold up....

I would start in Macross...then move forward from there. The other series have merit but I just never liked them past Macross although the Dana Sterling character was interesting.

Here's Toynami's Macross display from SDCC 2007:

Looks like a new Rick Hunter (Macross DYRL movie edition) 12 inch figure is on the way.

The U.S. Robotech series is what I grew up with and I still love it today as much as I did when I was a kid.

Check this one out: Robotech: The Macross Saga Complete Collection

I highly recommend it!

Check out some of Toynami's "Invid Invasion" (or "New Generation" if you prefer) set up at SDCC 2007:

Notice the Beta Fighter attached to the back of Scott's alpha....

I saw that!! It was a beautiful setup and the Cyclones look BAD ASS!!

Were you there in person? Any better pics? Toynami (or Yamato, or whoever) needs to make us some high end Zentraedi and Invid fighters--PRONTO.

Yes, I was there in person and stupid me, I must've been so in awe that I only snapped these two pics of the Cyclones.

Not necessarily better.

This was a tough pic to get, he was on a rotating display. Bad Ass though!

And yes we need some Battle Pods and Invid Fighters!!

I want that Scott Bernard sooooooo bad. I had a friend who's brother had one of the older ones back in the 90s. I always tried to get him to sell it to me, but he wouldn't.

I had one when I was a kid and a Veritech, I wish I still had them.

I have all three of the new ones on order at BBTS though!
