hey.... i resent that merchandise comment :-P, it's just not true lol.
any fan of robotech knows about macross/genesis climber and knows that the japanese toys/models/figures were and are still much better quality than anything revell or matchbox (or even the newer toynami stuff) ever put out. i would say robotech actually helped sell macross/mospeada merchandise (at least back then). i am looking at my gakken alpha and my toynami anniversary one right now and the toynami one is a piece of junk compared to the one made over 20 years ago.
lol anyone remember the crap revell used to put out? revell pumped out so many models with the name ROBOTECH on them it was ridiculous. but nobody ever bought them because most of them sucked and weren't even from the cartoon (they just made a random robot model and put ROBOTECH on the box lol... seriously). if you wanted a good model you bought the japanese (macross) stuff!
even today, anyone who wants to buy robotech merchandise, knows that they're better off buying the bandai/yamato stuff rather than the toynami stuff.
