Are there any Macross fans out there?

I was introduced to the franchise through Macross Frontier earlier this year and am currently going back and watching all of the series/movies (I think I'll skip Macross 7 though...). Along side my transformers I know have a few Valkyries from Bandai and Yamato.

Any other collectors of Macross toys?

I'm a Macross fan, though specifically of SDF Macross. I've watched other subsequent Macross work but to be honest, nothing compares to the original for me.

The only Macross toys I have are a Revoltech VF-1J and the recently released VF Hi-Metal VF-1J Hikaru Ichijo custom, which is a great figure.

Picked up the 1/100 VF-1S with the armour and Max and Miria's VF-1J's a while back. They're not as posable as the Revoltech, but they look pretty sweet sitting on my desk.

Aside from the original Macross/Robotech series, I haven't had much experience with the series. I watched Macross Plus, but it never really turned me on.


PS Halifax Rules!

If you are serious about watching thru Macross, don't skip Macross 7.

It isn't the best out there, and it's easy to dismiss if all you have seen is images of Fire Bomber. but it is a decent watch, and there are elements in there that help expand the full reach of the Macross universe.

Watching Macross (and Southern Cross, and Mospeda) subbed has kinda ruined Robotech for me, the original stories are way better, but I'll still watch if the mood strikes me. So far I've only watched Plus and Zero in addition to the main series, but I'll get around to the rest at some point.

No toys at the moment (though I did have a Valkyrie and one of the Hover tanks from Southern Cross), but plenty of models:

VE-1 Elintseeker


VF-1S (A tribute of sorts to VX-4 The Black Bunnies)


VF-1S (In Skull livery)


I've also got a couple little Zentradi ships, as well as the SDF-1, that I haven't built yet, along with an SV-51 that's seen better days, and a VF-0 that needs built.

I always wanted a hovertank but the ones I have seen from the Matchbox line have either been in bad condition or way over priced for what I would pay.

I was lucky enough to get a Invid Shock Trooper when a few Robotech pieces were re-released in the Exosquad line. As it came without a pilot, I picked up a loose Dana Sterling a local store had on display to keep in the cockpit.

Oh yeah! I still have a Scout and a Shock Trooper (Not Robotech original, but from ExoSquad) in a box somewhere....

I snaged a Scout from that line as well, it's a nifty piece but pails against the Shocktrooper.

Great looking models.

Some nice looking models Skyfire77! I'm not gonna lie, and say I'm jealous!

I've been contemplating pre-ordering the Bandai Chogokin DX Konig Monster. Anyone else planning on getting this badboy?
