Ahhh, Robotech...the 80's! The New Wave era. The weird hairdo and the cool (or weird) outfits. When Robotech series was out in the 80's, I was a high school freshmen. It was cool to watch the series, but it wasn't cool to play with toys. You would be considered a "GEEK" if the (high school) girls found out you're still playing with GI Joe and them toys. The only coolest stuffs were those tight jeans w/so many rips and holes and bleach in them. And how high your hair can go.
Sad to say, I tried to be cool, so no Robotech/Macross toys for me, except I couldn't resist Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and the chameleon color-changing Zartan from GI Joe. Oh, and 1 more thing - Megatron(original) gun (God, it still look real). Today, imagine bringing that to high school for show-n-tell (arrested on the spot...hehe).
Now, Robotech/Macross is the bridge to my lost childhood's fantasy. Sometimes I took the plane(vf-1) flying around the house, and I wife thinks I'm nut.
Does anybody have the same experience as I do during the New Wave or the 80's era?
