a couple more wing variants on the gliders/slingshots(sealed), and I opened up my 'sound plane' boxes to see what wing options I had

ok...first off, why in the HELL do I have some many of the mechanical pencils... Is it like having tape measures? You can't ever find it so you get another, rinse and repeat so...Boring..these have been posted 2x before already here. BUT I've not seen anyone post the GRAY tipped variant! there is ALWAYS a freakin' variant with this stuff.

found the main puzzle stash, won't repeat the awesome stuff already posted

Apparently I have color variations of the previously posted wallets, so here we are

Just picked up (very very late to the game) the Animeigo Madox Unobtanium Blu-Ray https://www.animeigo.com/products/anime/madox-01 I had no idea Adrian Lozano from the Speaker Podcast Crew was involved, was a pleasant surprise!

I remember a couple years ago I could not buy certain Macross items from Amazon JP-it said 'due to licensing restrictions we are not allowed to sell to you' I can't remember what it applied to...was it games or toys? LOL

There was no mention of 'Derivative' in the agreements? I thought in one of the court summaries I saw that, but could be very wrong. (e.g. old max, vf-1ex, queadluun-rhea, etc?)

Revisiting the past, it seems the videos have an explicit exception, but any MERCHANDISE with the 41 designs are out, thus the exclusion from the game https://robotech.com/news/big-west-co.-ltd.-studio-nue-inc.-and-harmony-gold-u.s.a.-announce-expansive-agreement-for-the-future-of-macross-and-robotech-worldwide The landmark agreement immediately permits worldwide distribution of most of the Macross films and television sequels worldwide, and also confirms that Big West will not oppose the Japanese release of an anticipated upcoming live-action Robotech film. The agreement also recognizes Harmony Gold’s longstanding exclusive license with Tatsunoko for the use of the 41 Macross characters and mecha in the Robotech television series and related merchandise throughout the world excluding Japan.

So it appears the upcoming Macross game has a JP/EN version, where the EN version is removing DYRL Minmei references, and I would guess any aircraft from that series https://www.gematsu.com/2023/08/macross-shooting-insight-physical-edition-includes-macross-do-you-remember-love-content EN art vs JP art So if the agreement between BW/HG was that the shows...TV and DYRL(the 41 designs) to HG, everything else to BW, then just how does BW release anything? If a video game is potentially censoring DYRL Minmei + Valks, then what about: II: has SDF-1 Zero: Has Focker Plus: Has SDF-1 7: has Max and Milia + VF-1s & Exedol Frontier: VF-1 on the school, episode 13 has sdf-1 and global Delta: VF-1s, Max at 70 years old If the original 41 designs, and any variation of them are not allowed internationally, then what exactly is the agreement for? How does anything get released internationally in its original form? I guess we'll find out as time passes and we see what is/is not allowed. Did this have any impact on the upcoming Tenjin book and art within it? (It has a couple VF-1s, and Max at 70) I guess we won't know until we see the December release vs the Comic con early special signed ones he did.

google search finds 2 versions--jp and en something seems to be missing on the EN version...but can't place my finger on it 😛 https://www.gematsu.com/2023/08/macross-shooting-insight-physical-edition-includes-macross-do-you-remember-love-content EN page https://macross-si.bushiroadgames.com/en/ JP page https://macross-si.bushiroadgames.com/

How come the white circles (always wondered when I see them on the sheets) Is the kite inside the red circle clear or something? Its not like they can't print white

The Armored Valkyrie is great! It has vibes from the Sega Saturn Game for some reason in my brain (my favorite game) Love this.

So far only the Angel Birds have this feature, and now the upcoming mechanic edition. Who knows what the future holds after the mechanic version. Maybe they will offer squadron options for future versions, like perhaps the cannon fodder. It would be cool to have a variety of squadron logos on the tailfins as an option down the road, instead of numbers #1-#5 like the angel birds. They could re-use all the same box inserts and all to save $

I bought some poster portfolios this weekend and recently re-discovered a few prints I bought from you a few years ago! They are amazing, enjoyed seeing all the details again! Right now they are flattening out since they've been in the tube and in the dark for so long.

Ah thanks! (Vol 13)...my brain was stuck on the upper corner with the '4' 😛 Yes-I have that one too

Was thinking that soon it might be a good time for buyers to pick up a 2nd (or 3rd) VF-1S when these hit the markets Current price for solo VF-1S are more than 30,000 yen right now. With these hitting when you can get a Valk and Special/Normal Parts for 33,000 (locally) then it will surely drive some price adjustments for the single valks

Thanks for the video! Nice to see it in action, look forward to picking on up on Yahoo Japan with a $150 buyer surcharge 😛 Would have been nice to see the Strike cannon and the arm have some details. A super bonus would have been to include 4 box missiles then the entire thing could be a self-contained DYRL final battle representation. (since they ditched the 2nd normal missile rack and have strike parts only, it is finale exclusive anyways, so just charge a little more and make it 100% complete)

I thought I had all the Macross related issues too...what is Vol 13? Do you have a cover?

I think you have to have 99% of them on this page Maybe a couple stragglers, but I suspect not many

here is one more..might be in another thread. hard to get the right angles for the light to show

I think I have 2 more to add

Hello fellow Macross Contest Trophy collector! LOL There are Dozens of us...Dozens!

Unfortunately it is just fan made-not canon but still cool
