"● Rifts® (and Robotech®?) Miniatures. Carmen Bellaire and I also continue to discuss the feasibility of releasing a Rifts® and/or Robotech® miniatures game even if it’s on a limited basis to start. Let us know whether you might be interested in such products.
● In addition to Carmen’s efforts, Palladium has been approached by two different people about making a Robotech® miniatures game. We are currently entertaining the possibilities."
I can confirm this to a degree. This thread appeared on the miniatures page a few days ago with a fellow who is feeling the waters for people who would be interested in Robotech miniatures. He even has a few pictures showing what he has in mind:

This could be really good! There aren't really any Robotech miniatures out there at all. FASA had a line of miniatures that were based off Macross but they went away decades ago (and they weren't really good sculpts anyway). There was also another company out there who made some (Iron Horse? Dark Horse?) but apparently they didn't keep the line going for long although they were mentioned in the original Robotech RPG.
Those miniatures are very rare and very expensive... just check ebay! Other than those you have various Japanese plastic models in various scales that are becoming just a rare and expensive!
Now I'll admit, I'm not really a role-player any more. Oh I dabble here and there, but I haven't seriously played in ages. I'm a wargamer, and with that said, I know that there are a lot of you who do both hobbies and I know a lot of you roleplayers use miniatures for gaming. I think this could be a great product that all of us would love to have. Imagine what you could do... Here's a link to a 1/200 scale Robotech game that was played recentally. I don't even want to think about how much money or time this guy spent assembling these models:

So seriously, who out there would be interested? Let Kevin know because he's actually giving it some thought and these people who're suggesting this are real gamers who are trying to make it happen.
Here's one of their blogs:

He's writing the rules and making scenarios right now for playtesting.
