Freiflug88 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Well ideas are bulletproof... but switching to missiles and music might work. Really...Robotech was a good thing in the '80's, when anime was weird and scary, but honestly...who needs it now...? *rings buzzer* Who are the lazy bums at HG?

BeyondTheGrave Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Not really. Hg mainly deals in real estate from what we know. Maybe for the tax write offs. Maybe doug-bendo. What else would he make pod-cast and weird YouTube videos about? Edited January 19, 2012 by BeyondTheGrave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackconvoy_D01 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Aside from the original 85 episodes, what is Robotech's most profitable, and legit (and without issues of copyright, exagerated delays, market exchange, QC, etc.) Piece of merchandise, media, or product that has been produced to date?

"Maybe this stranger will be cute, and you'll strike up a conversation about anime. And then get to know each other, trade phone numbers..." That's right, HG has finally decided to openly promote gay nerd love. And here we were thinking that they didn't understand their fanbase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonc Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 They once had a picure of a group of fans from about 7 years ago at one of Michael Bradley's band concerts, in which I was in it with my (at the time) ex-wife. The strange thing was, they put the pic up with the caption (paraphrasing) "Robotech is good for dates". Even back then, when I was in their good graces, I was shocked that they'd put up something so lame. I couldn't help but laugh. I know a few friends still remember that.

So, the trend seems to be to sell Robotech as a way to get all those single guys on nerd alert a woman. Let me set you all straight...Robotech logos and luggage tags will NOT get you a woman. If that's all you're relying on, it's going to be more of a detraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know they're released all the updated RPG books. Unless they were planning other RPG manuals. I wouldn't be complaining about that. That's the only piece of merchandise I'm interested in.

I wouldn't be complaining about that. That's the only piece of merchandise I'm interested in. The UEEF Marines book has not been released yet and, though naturally not listed on rt.com, is still listed as a preorder on the Palladium site as well as other RPG sites. It was supposed to come out in 2010 (though I think originally it was supposed to come out in 2009) but it kept getting pushed back for multiple reasons so that it's now another mythic Robotech product like Toynami's Officer's Battlepod, Toynami's VT-1/VE-1/GBP VF-1, 25th Anniversary Soundtrack, Shadow Rising, LAM, and even LLA. Did I miss anything? Still, at least we got a "preview" CD and last minute calendar that Steve printed from his home computer. I thought they'd also be in the Wildstorm comics too like PTSC or Invasion. That's what you would think, right? The only problem is the idea for them came out after any comic series and if I remember their panel correctly, the Marines supposedly played a major role in Yune-ified Sentinels campaign. Alas, we'll probably never know... Edited January 22, 2012 by ps99042 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Kevin McKeever promise to have an update on the distributor or something like that regarding the LLA project before January 1st?
