Hopefully Bandai Ent. will take HG to the house for Frontier, but considering whats been going on with BV USA, who knows. But then I have the M7 R2 remaster set, so whatever's clever.
That's probably not a viable choice since it'd lose most of the existing Macross 7 fanbase.

I can still see the RT movie end up in the same limbo as the Halo movie.
From what I got from a recent (May) interview, the Robotech movie is still very much on the go. Harmony Gold and Warner Brothers seem to be trying to make sure that the different Robotech released planned don't "conflict with each other". If it really does bear fruit, it'd represent an opportunity to finally clear up the North American Macross rights.
