This is gonna be a great year for Macross related merchandise.  Although
because of some licensing issues we may not see some of the toys for a while.

Toy wise the VF-11 will be released this spring. The fastpack versions of
the VF-11, YF-19 and YF-21 late this summer.  But the best news of all is
the release of the original valkyries sometime in late summer. Two
companies, Yamato and Toynami, will be producing versions of the VF-1 to be
released late this summer.  Finally my prayers have been answered.

As far as other stuff goes, a Limited Edition box set of the original
Macross series will be released sometime this year as well as DVD versions
of Robotech.  Some trinket type merchandise will be available in two weeks.

And last but not least Lego is releasing Macross sets!!!
Well at least I wish they would. . . but that would be too good to be true.

Perhaps the biggest news is that U.S. based Toynami has secured a clear
license to the entire Robotech series from Harmony Gold.  This is huge.  This
allows Toynami to use and model any mecha they want.  Can you say Alpha AND
Beta?  What about Cyclone?  Plus there are indications that they will be
releasing fast packs for the VF-1's and other configurations.  Perhaps the
neatest thing is that the company's president is also a Macross fan and
formed the company with the production of a valkyrie in mind. (!)  Be aware
that the production is going to be limited, so keep checking. Oh, Boy! Time
to save those pennies!

Oooo!!!  Time for me to start scalping my Matchbox SDF-1 Super Fortress
(MIB-whatever)!!!!
Man, some of those overseas import toys from waaaaay back were TOO COOL.
Wish I had saved my BETA fighters too :o(
Here's to hoping for them LEGO toys too!
