Correct me if i m wrong but Yamato put the words "Macross : Do you remember love" on all product 1/48, 1/60 and qrau. This indicates that all products are goodies from the movie and not the us serie aka "Robotech". Yamato respect the rules (ie the 1A max or kakizaki has never been released by yamato) they release ONLY dyrl mechas with the correct color schemes. Retailers, as soon as you keep them boxed it is easy to proof that they refer to the movie and not the serie.
Okay TV's and Serie's mechas look obviously the same but it is not enough to justify such a licence amalgam by HG (it is a cheap and unfair way to harass an opponent company) they don't have the movie licence, right ? So they'd better shut up
IMO a lawyer could be able to make HG understand this and cease such retailers harassement.
Just a little ? to finish
Does the Dyrl Movie and other series (2, 7 etc ) have a licence in US ?
