In the Package Variation section, and later in the release section the Imai 1/5000 was not just considered or is unconfirmed. It was released! We know at least 2 boxes exist...the one in the catalogs that was on display at the trade show in 84, and this one below that showed up on YJ in 2018 (I lost-this was the pic from the auction)

I've had the pics on the legacy models page for 20 years...yes the B variant is CONFIRMED 😛

Anything on the Large Missile at the top? LOL

Wow-I never noticed the lack of wheels on the Takatoku 1/3000 proto-nice catch (only been 40 years)!!

Still waiting on my BOOK...but that could be for Imai #33-the Generic Zentradi Soldier It was scrapped for the VF-1A Gerwalk in its place (#33) but then later reborn as Quamzin #79?? With Artwork by Takani this time?

Hold on...just hold on Max was 95 or something in the last Frontier whatever WWM release right? Now he is in preschool for this release? Someone please work out the timeline. Or is it Max's Father's VF-0D... Or as stated above, Max is a vintage collector (we saw he had his own Cobra from the M3 game painted blue) and does valks as well soooooo weird these releases! LOL

Now THAT is an easter egg I can appreciate!!!

Yeah...I heard the express cargo plane flying over my house heading to yours as their first priority drop off point. I think it was being escorted by a squadron of F-18s Mine are stuck in Los Angeles...yay

Any of my fellow HLJ orderers get notice their kit is in their private warehouse yet? Its been a a while since I asked the collective Still nothing yet for me...decals just sitting there burning up their storage space

Is anyone here picking up any of the shipping cases Wise Guys is selling? The new case of 48 Arii 1/100 Strike Battroids is crazy wild. I love the fact that they packed both the Hikaru and Max and split them up 24 each The Imai Queadluun Rau is another awesome one. Just amazing we are getting a chance to see these for the first time ever,

Well I asked what Takani's scrapbook pictures would look like, and they did post a sample https://animebox.jp/369132/ That is for the Nichimo kit

Looks like I need to sign up for a twitter account. I don't see a "Japanese Residents Only' requirement unless I missed something. If you follow Shogakukan, and post a pic of your book cover with the hash sign macross sign, then you are eligible to win a Takani/Miyatake signed pic https://www.shogakukan-cr.co.jp//news/n101787.html https://twitter.com/hashtag/マクロスサイン応募?src=hashtag_click

whoops-we ran out of disk space...expanded the drive all good again! testing file uploads

thank you will look into it!

Ditto! Yay! Living in the West Coast finally might pay off with a mid week delivery

Little more interesting news-Takani had a scrapbook with the Nichimo pics he took. Would love to see the real scrapbook. The books release date is the original airing for the Pineapple Salad episode, and is Kawamori's birthday...double cool https://macross.jp/news-detail/23516/

Maybe its the coloring? The lighter tan makes the legs seem longer?

I see many many Macross kits in there....where in the HELL is that from!?

Never seen that binder! Nice once!
