FIRST ROBOTECH TOY?

A MATCHBOX SDF-1

Same here... My first Offical ROBOTECH toy was my Matchbox SDF-1.. and I still have it to this day... Though... Sadly after many many years and many many moves... She's missing Daedalus.

Man, insult to injury - I got an e-mail update about this post right as the eBay seller I won a Tokotaku and a Matchbox from totally reneged with sellers remorse... oh ebay, you're never boring.

WOW... so you were the lucky dog that had won those... I saw those and thought about making a bid but hell I thought they'd go for way more then that... I'm bettin thats why the seller is wanting to back out... Report him... I hate people that do stuff like that... Just cause they don't get what they thought they would they try and back out. Well they should have put a reserve...

Yeah, that was me - I figured all that overtime at work had to be good for something

I got spun a story about how he's overdrawn so his bank has frozen his account and paypal won't deposit and yahda yahda, but gee, if I'd like to send him a check or money order. Uh *huh*. I'm half-tempted to say "sure, I'll drive down and give you the check in person", and see what he says

Yeah, name and shame: Peter Fredrik, aka "Peter Penile", aka Rag3131 on ebay (he's at a hotmail address, I won't post it here, since I don't want to cross a line) - you're a jerk. You run into this guy on ebay, be wary.

Just shot you a PM... It's a small world after all... It's a small world after all... LOL

In NY as a kid I had a bootleg SDF-1, and 3 VF-1js. I also had the small revell docking station model with the guardian, then the hovertank. No more RT toys since then until my MPC collection.

Yeah, I've had plenty of Robotech Models over the years... I have a large compliment of them now... and to be honest I think I'll die before some of them ever get built.

So there's been plenty to keep my interest.

While it is frustrating to learn of all the legal drama that interferes with new Robotech stories; I think that the return of Carl Macek should help bring some progress to the process.

For sales in Japan, and other territories that solicit Macross. There is still a large consumer market out there.

just all the legal hassling it killing robotech and toynami not making a good alpha ever
I love watching my protoculure collection over and over and I liked TSC but it seems to me that HG and everyone else that has the rights to robotech is just dragging there feet and grinding fans teeth down just so one in a blue moon something new comes out that boosts the franchise enough that they decide to do more and then they just go back to dragging and grinding again
