Oh man. What fantastic condition they are in too. I own a pristine (previous shrink wrapped) copy of Stanrey. I've never found Kalnock in a decent enough condition to pick up.
I've breifly looked at the Macross wargames, but they were always lousy condition or jacked price.
Thankfully, the Crusher Joe and other older model kits are much easier to get your hands on.
I've always wanted the few VOTOMS wargames too, even though none of them have translations (even unofficially) like Dog/City Fight and Kalnock/Stanrey.
I've been made aware. A reader of LTBT even provided images of their VHS collection of the Central Park release tapes.
Still, VOTOMS seemingly was insanely obscure to get its own to-market TT-RPG. I'm really interested if anyone has like, actually played it.
@TimJEldred Was one of the main sources of popularity for VOTOMS in the west. I highly recommend checking his site, lots of interesting info about it there.
Specifically, check out the "The Votoms Viewer’s Guide" section.

For @lucendacier
With that, time for my spiel again I give to every LTBT like this. It is your duty as a BattleTech fan, if able; to understand and look into BattleTech's anime origins. While I glaze Dougram endlessly, Macross is also a notable contributor (at least in terms of designs)
