Question about Robotech Novels

Hey guys I'm wanting to get into the robotech books and I know they start with Genesis but the only thing that comes up on Amazon is this listing which says it combines the first three books.

Does this mean they send the first three books separately or are they combined into one book now? If they are combined into one book I'm not sure if I want to buy from this listing, as I would like to "collect" the individual books.

Any assistance/tips for buying the individual books would be great. Thank you.

Max cleared for takeoff

Got this Threezero Max 1J when ShowZ recently put them on sale for $106 shipped. Unfortunately, it seems Threezero's QC has gotten worse with the recent releases from my experience. This Max as well as Mirya's have quite a number of issues, the most frustrating being this Max has a frozen lower elbow joint on the right arm that absolutely cannot bend despite applying silicone shock oil and heat from a hairdryer. Just gave up after awhile since didn't want to risk breakage. The arm sliders for transformation are also scary tight, even more so than on the first release Rick 1J. Figure still looks really nice though especially color-wise compared to other Max and Mirya 1Js that were previously released.

Found a beloved childhood toy!

I was so happy to find this in a Kay-Bee Toys back in the day (same place I got my massive Matchbox SDF-1). It’s bounced between the ten places I’ve lived in my adult life, and with how fragile these things were **before** being forty year old plastic, it’s in great shape! I’m actually pretty shocked that only one hook is broken and I never lost any of the pieces!

Am I going to keep it, or do I sell it to someone else who would love it? These are the things you think about when you get older.

Gem found in the wild

I found this at a carboot sale in Cape Town South Africa a few years ago. It was amongst a bunch of other 80s figures in a tub. I could not believe it. Id been looking for this thing for years. I payed 5 Rand for it.

Its an original takatoku, it has Japanese text on the wings so it is definitely not a KO.

Did not expect to find this in the middle of this market. I've seen these on ebay going for stupid amounts. id like to get a replacement weapon and the cross bones sticker for the chest some day.

Anyone else got a cool macross find story?

Robotech Masters: White Girl & Black Man Leads. Fans Hate It!

In this video, I discuss the reaction to Robotech Masters, which stars Dana Sterling and Bowie Grant, fandom perception, and why certain character dynamics consistently create controversy in science fiction and anime fandoms. Was Robotech Masters genuinely disliked because of its writing and structure, or did parts of the audience simply reject what the series represented, their preconcieved expectations because of Macross, who starred in it, and what was focused on?

I also talk about fandom behavior, nostalgia, adaptation differences between Robotech Masters and Super Dimension Cavalry: Souther Cross, audience expectations, and why certain reactions in geek culture feel strangely predictable over time.

While discussing these topics, I’m a inking page from my own independent comic series Zatswan using Koh-I-Noor Rapidograph technical drawing pens. As an indie comic creator building my own sci-fi fantasy universe, which also happens to have black man and white girl leads, I spend a lot of time thinking about audience perception, character dynamics, worldbuilding, and how fandoms emotionally attach themselves to certain stories and archetypes. Lastly, I also talk about other old anime series that I like!

Damn after 43 years I realized that....

Transformers was battletech before battletech. Transformers borrowed from macross, dorvack, diaclone, microman, brave yuusha and other brands from Japan and rolled them up under the transformers logo, years before harmony gold came along.

Damn I'm getting old! 😭

Wave DYRL gerwalk

This mode is made from mixing parts of two different wave models. While the partsforimg is somewhat clumsy, the final result, silhouette and proportions are great.

So I'm doing rewatch number whatever, and just finished To the Stars. As usual I'm reminded that it's heavily implied Rick and Minmei finally smash in the previous episode, and literally the morning after Rick is full on doubting the relationship, while Minmei is paranoid and overcompensating.

Which always prompts me to laugh as I contemplate this point:

The sex must have been truly, epically, unsatisfyingly terrible for one or both of them.

Because for Rick it's like the fever finally broke, and it's so definitive that after Lisa's confession he leaves Minmei to her own devices in the middle of a combat zone, without so much as a "Get to a shelter."

To be fair to Minmei it may not have even been anything she did wrong as far as sexual talent. The wholesome read on that is they finally did it, and that's what it took to start realizing they didn't have a real romantic emotional connection. It was just their shared baseline hotness, trauma, and conditioning from all the rescues over the years that made them think so. She goes paranoid as she has put all her eggs in Rick's basket, while Rick starts to nope out as he does have an actual romantic option in Lisa and a life with a strong sense of purpose that he shares with Lisa to boot.

But like I said, I'm always amused by the "Finally hit it. Instantly wants to quit it." aspect of the episode.

So recently I managed in mid April completing the Sentinel Riobot GC Mospeada toyline by getting the Stick/Stig (Scott), Rey (Rand), Yellow (Lancer) & Fuke (Rook) variants. To make long story somewhat shortened, the funds actually reserved for the rare Brave Gokin AFC-0Z Zeta Legioss + TREAD (aka Red Alpha + Red Beta Veritech) however that deal on eBay went haywire due to suspected scam, so I thought hey, the fund is available for me to get rest of the 4 Sentinel Riobot Mospeada toyline (I already bought the Intruder Gate variant in mid 2024).

Then in late April, my PO of AFC-01X Omega Legioss (aka Alpha VF) arrived on my doorstep (BTW already pre-ordered the other two AFC-01X Legioss Delta + Legioss Alpha variants & awaitimg delivery).
