Jolly Rogers Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Of course it is funny. Even the seller acknowledged it's a comedy (see sub-genre). Everyone ought to ask sellers questions like: "Hey!

Renato Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Oh, man. They used the Macross: Skull Leader logo for them. They're insulting Macross by passing RT items off as the real thing.

1st Border Red Devil Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Not to the people that actually own the rights hence the ongoing debate. Sorry Milk Man X....have you been under a rock for the last couple of years. I do believe that the Tokyo Courts ruled that in fact Tatsunoko controls SDF Macross outside of Japan...hence Harmony Gold does have the rights to the show, including the merchandise and music (both affirmed in the original case).

Well we will wait for more appeals then. At least the Macross fans that dont like the original creators being ripped off anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
