Agree, I'll stick with the V.O.T.O.M.S. which I'm sure will fill up my display case quickly enough!.... I didn't buy any of the Dougrams either! 

But if they ever rework the Hi-Metal R Destroyd Macross line & match the quality of the V.O.T.O.M.S., I'll gladly get back in too thoughts as well!....🤗

I like the anime so far. I've actually just started watching it for the first time. 

But, I've never really been a fan of the mecha design, especially the glass cockpit head design.

While I'm sure this will be a great toy, I'll pass on it.

I think the head design was just trying to set itself apart from a lot of the other mecha stuff from the era. It kinda grew on me a bit when I would find the little Bandai models decades ago.

as far as the show, if you’ve never watched it before, prepare yourself for a terrible ending. They cancelled the show early and the final battle isn’t really there. I’d suggest finishing the series, but watch the OVA as well. The first two parts kinda mix things up a bit and re tell the story with mostly scenes from the series and are a little tough to watch, but the last episode gives a real final battle that feels totally missing from the series.

I feel like the cancellation may have been due to the dragging story in the beginning of the show, but I really feel like things get really good after they leave mars. And things get wild once they get to the Moon, almost like a bit of a short horror arc. Might have been my favorite few episodes because it was such a change up from the first few
