Interesting note: Kawamori Shoji works out the functional aspects of a design often using Lego blocks. A major one was the transforming and combining design of Aquarion.

He worked with Lego for the 2006-2008 Exo-Force series, and made some "unofficial" models available at conventions titled under the "VAN-Force" series. Since Shoji Kawamori held the copyright to the "unofficial" designs, Lego couldn't release their own instructions.

Fully Transformable, with little to no parts-forming.

You can really see the Valkyrie influence with the first two links.

He also really likes making Valkyries out of Lego blocks.

By the way, if anyone can get a scan or pic of the instructions for those sets, I would GREATLY appreciate it.

Especially high res scans of Figure Oh vol 95 and 96.

Loved Robotech. I still have 3 or 4 models from 20 years ago that I still have to build.

Ya, seriously. Wonder what the incentive was to pledge that much.

Why do you think Yamato went bankrupt? A quick search on HLJ shows Yamato has anime figs coming out in June.

They unlocked a mini version of the SDF-1 to buy when they hit 1.18 million.
