I didn't follow the drama and after reading a first couple of comments I couldn't read anymore.
Robotech was my favourite cartoon franchise and it was my entre into Anime and Cartoons beyond the single episode plot-line. I also played a lot of Palladium as a kid - Robotech, TMNT, Heros Unlimited, RIFTS - and loved Kevin Long's art.
It's too bad it ended like this.
**EDIT: I went back to their website and forgot we had Palladium, Ninjas & Superheros, RIFTER and RECON as well. Wow, we had a lot of their stuff.
Yeah. I bought a kit earlier, without any research... Then I saw the discussion. I'm not sure when I'll ever put the kit together though. I did show Robotech to my kids (10 and 8 at the time). The consensus was that it was good except for that middle part (southern cross)
Since you're having such a hard time moving units of this game, how about shipping outside the US? Lots of people would likely buy this. Another MassFail....
Are these being shipped via UPS? I can only receive UPS or Fed Ex at home. I live in Alaska and can't have USPS delivered to my home (only to a P.O. Box, which I have).
I did a little write up about one of the models in particular here: https://imgur.com/a/bp0fh31 I meant to get this done before the last drop finished, sorry about that :(
TL;DR I don't regret buying it, for the price it's hard to beat. But if you want these to look really nice you're looking at a lot of modeling work (scraping, sanding, putting, etc) above at least what I've experience with the little bit of time I've spent in GW side of the hobby.
