Quick question for everyone in this thread: did you know that Macross is being released as well? (Zechs refers to this above.)
http://www.animeigo.com/products/macross.t
The first Robotech boxed set discussed above in this thread is the cartoon that you know and love, and is made by splicing 3 different animes and editing the plotlines here and there. Macross is the anime used for the first part of Robotech; the boxed set to be released by Animeigo will be 9-12 DVD's, $250 at the most, and will be completely restored. There is no English dub for Macross and none will be created, so it can be watched in Japanese with English subtitles only.
To order or not to order? I am still researching this, some people have seen both and still like Robotech better. If you look at the restoration examples on the Animeigo site, though, you can see the amount of work being done and the quality to expect. Also Animeigo is a strange site because they will sell boxed sets only through preorder, then sell single DVD's afterwards.
