The first toy I got was a Jetfire back in 1985 (still got it), at the time Iwas all into TF`s and knew that this was a Roblowtech mech, I collected all the Imaii model kits I could find. Battletech came and when as a fix.
15 years later whilst working for I.B.M I was talking to a guy about childhood stuff and manga when we reminissed about Robotech. Bored and on the night shift waiting for the Tokyo office to start our test run we Googled Found Macross and Roblowtech and were hooked again. He is now a certified Manga nut , and transforming mecha is a major part of my life.
Yahoo auctions provided me with DVDs and VCD`s untill my first visit to Japan when I got Yamato`ed. Several grand in the hole and only a few years later Im here, running out of space and still collecting.
