Last I'd heard, though, there was some debate over who exactly owned various parts of Macross. It had gone to court in Japan, and I remember hearing that there was a partial decision that had been appealed. That was a few years ago and I don't think I've heard anything since then.
The upshot of all of that for North Americans at the time was that Harmony Gold may have licensed Macross from the wrong company.

In the case of Macross, the license owner, has been very open to sell
non-exclusive license to many toy companies who make similar products.
>From this observation, I would guess any toy company can walk up to
the owner, show a prototype product, a mini-business plan and a check
for like $1000 and walk away with a 1-year license for Destroids and
Glaug pods toys and kits. I don't see any reason for Harmony(?) to
want to limit the market to just one design, I mean, who's not jealous
of Bandai churning out products?
