Robotech: The Complete Set

Robotech's Latest Set
I got mixed feelings about this set. On the one hand, it seems the perfect choice for anyone who hasn't yet gotten the 85 Remastered eps and movies on DVD and in some ways it can be argued that, but it does have its faults. The packaging is terrible in my honest opinion, discs are stacked on top of each other all for the sake of saving space, some coming loose surprisingly easy despite being very careful with how I was handling the case.This was a very risky call by Lion's Gate, I far more prefer the packaging of A&E's prior Complete sets (even ADV's Protoculture set as well), I understand A&E, Lion's Gate, and Harmony Gold wanted to release this to meet popular demand of Robotech from people that have never gotten it on this format and the dwindling amount of prior sets' stock in stores, but this was pretty dang lazy.

On to things I did like, the packaging art is quite beautiful, though I have more of a preference liking to the prior A&E set's trio images of updated...

Awesome set for a Gen X fan
I've been a fan of the series since I first watched it in the 80's, and now I own this set. I highly recommend it to people who know the series, as well as those who just enjoy anime. The digital transfer looks good, and the sound is top notch. I haven't checked out the bonus materials yet, so I will have to edit this later. However, this is the first time I have been able to watch it episode for episode from the beginning, and I'm enjoying it immensely. As a kid, I only caught a handful of episodes because it was on very early on weekday mornings, but I was intrigued. I even read the first few novelizations of the series when I was in junior high, but I never had the complete experience.
The only complaint I have is the design of the case. I'm not sure how any of the previous DVD releases were packaged, but this one comes in a single case with internal hinged panels. Multiple discs reside on a single peg, which means having to re-stack the discs as you watch the series, or later...

Nothing new but its all here
Robotech The Complete Set has its flaws. Years of rereleasing the same material has ultimately worn the fresh look of this saga down.

Harmony Gold should have thrown these into the remastering mix and released a much awaited Blu Ray release of these titles. Instead, we have received what most people already own at least twice. Regurgitation has become a common occurence for Harmoony Gold.

The collection includes the 85 episode saga along with all the movies with the exception of the now vastly edited Robotech Movie due to licensing issues. It’s sad because i rather liked this movie and feel that something special was taken away.

Had you already purchased the 2 movie collection earlier this year of Love, Live , Alive & The Shadow Chronicles, you will be double dipping as they are here too along with more features not given to buyers before.

The biggest problem is that you will go out and buy this complete set & think you have it all...
