Ginguy Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 Sucks that Macross is so damn hard to find. The series isn't that bad really. Quote

Harmony Gold just got their licenses renewed for another 35 fucking years! ARGH! You misread the article. They didn't say how long the deal was. That exec was just hoping it would last another 35 years in his little speech blurb. They also spelled that Yune guy's name three different ways. Yune, Yume, and Yun. Not a very well done article. But yeah, I always loved Robotech. It's part of what got me into anime along with DBZ and Sailor Moon. Though I didn't know what anime was until with DBZ, and then I learned that Robotech was really an amalgamation of three different anime series with no continuity between each other originally. That said, this is causing a major legal and licensing clusterfuck that doesn't help anybody. As I understand it, the Macross sequel series can't come over to the U.S., but Harmony Gold can't make Robotech sequels using the various characters because another company owns the rights to those? So what was the point of extending this deal as is? And how does Harmony Gold even afford to continue the deal? It reminds me of some other fuckery that Hasbro caused back in the day. They bought the rights to the Valkyrie fighter and brought it over as Jetfire (this was my favorite Transformer as a kid which I had to re-buy at great expense as an adult, but I had no idea it was a Macross thing back when I was a kid,) but they couldn't have Jetfire look like a Valkyrie in the Transformers cartoon (and he was called Skyfire to add to further confusion,) but this meant that Matchbox couldn't use that Valkyrie toy in the U.S., so you ended up with a non-transformable Veritech fighter with a goofy looking Rick Hunter figure. http://thecollectorslens.blogspot.com/2014/04/robotech-rick-hunter-vfs1-super.html Edited July 7, 2019 by ben0119 Quote
Jman Posted July 7, 2019 Author Posted July 7, 2019 Harmony Gold is solely doing this out of spite. Because they are literally criminals found guilty of money laundering for the Italian mafia. 1 Quote

Why the hell do corporations hold onto properties in order to do absolutely nothing with them?? Is it like billionaires buying a Manhattan apartment only to raise their own net worth? Quote
