SD Funimation version. Loved this show growing up but some of the artwork might not have aged as well. Season 1 (Macross in Japan) was the one I enjoyed the most.
Might be US only (don't see it in AU store) so not sure if VPN required for purchase.
Loved buying the toys are World 4 Kids. Ultimate nineties.
Uhhh, try 80's.
I think Robotech was never fully aired in Australia and took a decade into the Nineties to complete. And so many Nineties kids were also introduced to the show.
@plmko: All three "series" were played on Boris's Breakfast Club in 1986, I remember getting up every morning to watch it!
Loved this show!! I had the toys from Target too! (Until my sister smashed them…)
I would of killed her especially if it was valkyrie's
Ahhh the nostalgia. Loved that show. Have some of the Macross dvds in my 80s collection.
Great show, now that everything is sorted with robotech franchise can't wait for a 4k remaster
Thats a good point, I have the DVD set I bought a decade ago and I dont think this would be any better quality to view ?
Same, I got it over a decade ago. I got the protoculture box set (US Version, box art much better than Au)
It's one of the few DVDs I can't toss out, along with teknoman, visionaries & pole position.
You've got teknoman dvds? I didn't know they existed….!
@justtoreply: Yep. I bought roughly same time as robotech box set.
I can't believe the price, I think I paid $20
Only thing I don't like the intro music isn't the same as the one that aired on tv here,

Minmay was my childhood crush
You are not alone…lol
but, when you grew up - Rei Ayanami or Asuka Langley Soryu?
Misato
*drunk Misato
Anybody into rei would be a huge red flag.. She needed a personality injection. What kind of person wants that in a partner..
Yeah but you get Quantity over quality in that department with our new Reiquarium….. Located aisle three, central dogma and left of Lilith…. :P
I actually had a thing for Lisa!
She could pilot my Super Dimension Fortress any day
Give me Miriya.
OK, you win the thread
Mine was the motorbike. Stuff girls.
I always found her annoying even as a kid. Lisa was mine
This isn't Macross, this isn't Macross at all!
When they speak Japanese it's Macross… when they speak English it's Robotech, so no it's not Macross..XD
Classic 80s Saturday morning cartoon, this was great
Up vote because robotech. Loved the show and have all remastered DVDs on the DVD case.
Got the masters set as well. I keep buying the toys when ever I find them.
How do you play this? Straight through a browser, or do you need use a Microsoft app?

When you can turn foes to friends among the final battle! Still the best song in anime history!
Minmay is my first crush before Aerith! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpF7hoeRJUE&list=RDuX4BzEMEZ…
Oh my god she is still so hot! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpz298XHrxw
Deculture!
When I was a kid, I had the VF-1S (Rick Hunter's) Valkyrie as a toy, fully transformable and everything. It was by far, my favourite toy. I spent so many hours playing with it….I eventually grow up (sort of) and stopped playing with it, and carefully stored and packed it away. Cue many years later, and I now have a son (my firstborn). He finally reaches an age where I can give it to him to play with. I go looking for it and it turns out that Mum had given it away to some strangers…she was in Grace Bros, and had overheard a kid asking his mum to buy a toy and the mother telling him that she couldn't afford it. My mum, remembering her own lean times in years past, she decided to give the parent our address, asked them to drop by our house, and when they did, she gifted them with a bunch of toys including my Veritech.
Cut to today, and I now have a 2nd young son and I have to admit to (even as recently as last week) browsing the net looking for an equivalent…do you know how #$%^ expensive these toys are? The cheapest I can find is $260 and I believe that is an inferior model. If I look for one that really is the same, they go for $400! I should probably mention that not only did mum give away my VF-1S, but she also gave away quite a few original G1 Transformers, which are worth a pretty penny. I don't really care about how much they are worth other than that's how much it will cost me to buy them again these days! Howevewr, I just can't bring myself to buy my Valkyrie again…the ozbargainer in me doesn't permit me to spend that much…but I have to admit that I do think about it!
Buy it and you be a kid again! And thats gotta worth more than whatever the $$$ it will cost you
I'm super tempted…but only to give to my 9 year old of course…totally not for me…
i gave my 2 boys(7 and 9) 2 of my robotech toys 2 years ago, mum gave away my lion voltron but the robotechs remained. I found one last week in the backyard and it had been driven over by a car.
I let my boys know i was pretty annoyed at them that afternoon.
just checked prices. makes me wish i kept mine mint and not give it to my boys.
My first robotech toy was jet fire from transformers.
Thanks OP, but unfortunately I couldn't find a way to pay for this. I tried conventional credit card and paypal. I even tried to change my country in Paypal but Paypal won't let you.
"The region in which your payment option was issued and your Store region need to match". If someone finds a way to buy this, please let me know.
I re-watched the 2004 remastered version recently and when comparing it to the 1985 original, the visuals are night and day. Remastered was much much better.
Can't wait to see what HD remastered will look like.
PS. Seasons 2 & 3 of Robotech are based on completely different anime to Macross, however season 3 ties into the follow up movie Shadow Chronicles which I found was quite good. Season 2 of Robotech was the biggest let down for me.
Moved on to watch several modern releases of Macross (even watched the original 7; first half was so hard to get through) and wish they did more of them.
I have harmony golds OST to the series
Loved this show as a kid too !!!!
