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!

If this is 1/3000 vs 1/2000 scale, what are you at...1/500 or 1/750? another 1/2000 shot

Here is a another sneak peak at the book 😛 (My SDCon display from last year) Lets see..4 more days until release, then what...3-4 days in transit from Amazon Japan? So next Wed/Thursday I should FINALLY have the Macross book I've been asking for for decades....so close.

In one of his books, the google translate says he (Takani) held up the Takatoku 1/55 valk in various poses for additional inspiration for his works And for the new readers don't forget to check out my hypothesis on the Takani SDF-1 painting above! LOL
