McFly!! Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Awesome news and pics, thanks guys! Brera's ghosts are so late, I don't even want them anymore. I'll still get them but, I don't want them. Really. =) Quote
Tochiro Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Macross the Museum Ver.2.Δ is coming to Nagoya Parco department store from March 5 to March 14. Entrance fee is 500yen. If you are in the area be sure to check it out. Quote
antibiotictab Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Seems no one has written about this news yet... At Anime Japan, a Macross stage event will be held. The title is "MACROSS DELTA broadcast coming soon! MACROSS 'Zentoramori' Talk Show Powered by d AnimeStore." The main agenda of it is, of course, about Macross Delta, but some other VAs will talk about their own roll in the other series. The attendees are Shou Hayami,Eri Takeda, Tomo Sakurai, Megumi Nakajima, Minori Suzuki and the others. And Mr. Kawamori will also get on the stage simultaneously. IMPO, I have thought Nakajima-san didn't take a hiatus but retire, but what I have been guessing seems to be wrong. Hmm. The date is the 1st day of the event, March 26. From 13:35 to 14:15. At The Red Stage of the venue, the 4th Hall of Tokyo Big Sight. Refer to the details on the link below. Don't worry, it's written in English. https://www.anime-japan.jp/en/stage/rgb_stage/ Edited February 14, 2016 by antibiotictab Quote
Jefuemon Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Some new models coming out. Storm Attack DYRL SDF-1, Gerwalk VF-1D with Minmei in peril figure, plus a 1/20 scale VF-1! Also, the little box from Wave states that they're going to be doing 1/72 scale VF's, that have not had a model done in that scale before. Time for an injection kit VF-4? VF-17/171? VF-2? Something obscure like a VF-14 Vampire? Just have to wait and see! Quote

Tochiro Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Hello antibiotictab, how do I get a reservation? And what is "stage-viewing lottery"? The stage viewing lottery is a lottery for a ticket to watch the show. Details are still TBA I believe. The SpeakerPODcast Crew will be there, so keep an eye out for us if you get in :-) (Psssst: this was reported on - in the last podcast ;-) Edited February 18, 2016 by Tochiro Quote

Jefuemon Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Looks like tonight's Macross Modelers show was all about the 1/20 scale offerings from Max Factory. Special thanks to Tochiro for the pics and info. I was at Zumba tonight, so I missed the showing. Quote

MSRP: 3,780 yen. Uhm... yes, and no. Title: スペースネイビーヤード 宇宙艦船模型電飾モデリングガイド In English: "Space Navy Yard: Spaceship Models Decorative Illumination Modelling Guide Book". It appears to be one of those modelling 'how-to' books, featuring anime and American movie spaceships. Quote
Jefuemon Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Info from the latest Macross Modelers show, courtesy of Tochiro in exile. Quote
sketchley Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) Great Mechanics G: 2016 SpringReleased: 2016.03.18Macross/Kawamori Content6 pgs (all colour!) on Macross Delta, broken down into:2 pgs: the VF-31 and some generic descriptions/stats, and the basics of the series (Vahl Syndrome, Delta Platoon, etc).- interestingly the drones are referred to as "Multi Drones". The following is interesting: "フォールド波成分の増幅" - Fold Wave Component amplification".3 pgs: interview with Dir. Kawamori entitled "The Secrets Of The New Aircraft"1 pg: colouring of Delta Platoon's VF-31 [*note: 4 of those pages can be seen in the screen grabs found in Jefuemon's link in the post just before this one.] Almost all of the associated images have been previously released (shots from the preview episode, the VF-31 squadron colours and VF-31A design from the flyer, etc), but there is an extremely nice and clear image of a Drone/FAST Pack equipped Sv-262. From it, and the accompanying text, I've gleaned the following about drones:- they are 'unmanned aircraft' (text)- have 4x micro-missile launchers. The launchers are a different design than the one's on the VF-31 and other Valkyries, and may fire a larger sized missile.- have a single, high-powered beam gun in the center of their dorsal surface (there is a huge heat sink there. Coupled with the lack of a spent cartridge port...)Alas, it's the same top/front 3/4 view as in all the other released material. So, no clear shots of the rear/bottom, yet.and... near the end of the book, in the B&W Hobby Planet section:1 pg of Macross stuff (sans 1/6 of the page devoted to a Freddy Mercury station of all things):- Hasegawa 1/72 VF-25G Super Messiah (￥4,000. on sale now)- Hi-Metal R HWR-00-MkII Destroid Monster (￥25,000. planned July release)- Hi-Metal R Guraaji (￥13,000. planned May release)- TomyTech 1/144 VF-1A/S sets (4x. ￥7,300 each. Planned June release)... and a blurb to check out the latest "Macross Delta" related products, and detailed information at the TomyTech webpage, with a CG image of what appears to be a VF-31 model kit (sorry, no linky. Requires a QR Code reader). Edited March 19, 2016 by sketchley Quote
VF5SS Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Gwyn-san found out that the Draken's drone units are called "Lil Draken." Which is the name of the real life J35 Draken's prototype, the Saab 210 Flying Test Bed . https://twitter.com/GwynCampbell/status/711181087200784384 Quote
David Hingtgen Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 I believe the art of the VF-31A in battroid mode and the head-unit hasn't been seen before. (was hoping the -31A had a bit more color in battroid, to make up for the pure grey in fighter----the YF-19 gets quite a bit more color when it transforms---in fighter mode the -19's chest stripes are totally hidden and the shoulder stripes are mostly hidden) Quote
sketchley Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I believe the art of the VF-31A in battroid mode and the head-unit hasn't been seen before. You can find them here: http://monkeybacon.mywebcommunity.org/Stats/Statistics/VF-31/VF-31.php I can't remember which topic the originals were in, but it was from one of Tochiro's photos of a flyer that he picked up about a month back.

EXO Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 That's the only reason I'm getting it. Or else I'd wait for the collection. Quote
Jefuemon Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 I'm curious to see how much international sales are going to be, and if it's enough to warrant re-releasing the older Macross titles with English subtitles. Quote
Marzan Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Let's hope it's the start of a trend. It'd be interesting to know how many extra discs they would have to sell in order for it to be profitable. Anyone have any idea how much translators/typesetter make in Japan? Are they as underpaid as everyone else in the anime industry? Quote
