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!
