Before the internet became widespread, I satiated my Macross fix at Kinokuniya (in Yaohan) and some small store within a larger room filled with stores in Yaohan shopping center. This was in Edgewater, NJ. I later rented some Macross II at a local comic store, but for some reason, I was not into it. Sadly, I figured Macross were sequels were not for me, so I missed out on seeing M7 until just a couple of years ago. By the time I was able to buy an imported version of DYRL for the PS1 at an import store in NY whose name escapes me, the internet age was upon us.
