Ah, that must be what's confusing me. Too many companies in one franchise for
my feeble little brain to keep straight...

Right. M-7 is the one with the goofy guitar-controlled Valk gimmick, right?
I've never seen it... I'm kind of afraid to. M+ was such an incredible series
(much, much better than Macross 2) that I didn't want to ruin it for myself. :D

That's pretty cool. Are they planning on releasing the YF-19 with the jump
rig? That was actually seen in the show, after all. :D

I read something about revisions to just the basic toys, too, to correct stuff
that was less-than-stellar in the first release. I can't remember details,
though...

NELUG's resident Valkyrie-smith, Sun Yun, pointed me to these a while ago...
but my Japanese toy budget has been going to try and snap up the Microman toys
I wanted, since the line got cancelled, so I haven't really been reading them.
If I read them too much, I'll end up buying them. :D
I call this the "Ostrich Method" of budgetary control.
