(...) WOW, WOW, WOW.... Looks like I'm gonna get sucked back into Macross toys. I better get on eBay and sell off some of my old Robotech toys. Forget about trying to collect the classic (way too expensive) 1/55s. These look like they'll fly circles (...) (24 years ago, 16-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) The Yamato Valkyries are nice- very nice. I'll definitely have to get a Skull Squadron one... But you should also be aware that Bandai has finally released the VF-11, making all three Valks from Macross Plus available as toys... (URL) think (...)

(...) I don't think the Yamato ones have actually been released yet. The VF-11 is available from Hobby Link Japan at the link I sent. I'm pretty sure if you look around their site you'll find other Valks- they have the VF-17 and VF-19 (Stealth and (...) (24 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Which raises another question I have always had. While people quite rightly are fascinated with the Valkyrie (I own one of the original white Transformer ones) where can I find or has anybody ever made toys (not models) of the Zentradi (...) (24 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) It's called a "Battle Pod." The name of the race is "Zentraedi" (or it was on the box), which may also help you in your search. I had a light blue, white, and black toy Battle Pod, which I bought around 1988 or so. I also got one of the (...) (24 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) That's a Yamato Valkyrie too. See up there at the top of the page, where it says "Yamato" ? ;^D I like the VF-11, but I'm waiting until this fall when they release the FASTpack version. ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (24 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Toynami currently has the Robotech toy license, and they are planning to make a number of vehicles from the series besides the Valkyries, so expect to see at least a couple destroids and Zentraedi mecha. :) I'm hoping for the Glaug officer's (...)

(...) Bandai just re-released their Macross 7 Valkyries, which feature the F-19. Macross Plus is chronologically earlier in the Macross timeline, and the YF-19 is of course the prototype of the F-19 used in the chronologically later Macross 7. (...) (...)
