My order with HLJ still shows open (not fulfilled) so I'm waiting too. I'm sure they've get it in stock soon.
-
Woah....that is a great looking piece! I can't recall is there a final version of that?
-
That Max VF-1S is incredible, nice work!!! Have you thought about painting the wheels white? (my only real gripe with the Bandai 1/48) Instead of the 001 decals coming in the Kakizaki to fix my Movie Hikaru tailfin, I wish they'd swap in some white wheel hubs!

Hi everyone, I'm asking you now to please limit any discussion of the specific Calibre Wings stock "CA72DC02 1/72 F-14 Low Visibility" on the forums here. This item has been specifically flagged by Big West and we will honor this notification the best we can. https://macross.jp/news/?id=1293 Please limit any 'well what about X and what about Y' products...we are not perfect by any means, but we TRY to point the site in the correct general direction. Lets leave it at that for now, most appreciated. You can discuss whatever you want via PM, I've no control over that, but please limit the public posts here. Thank you! The Management

Not sure it quite fits in here, but maybe. Over the decades have been collecting discount movie coupons and tickets. They are usually found pretty darn cheap, so it is fun finding all the variations!!

My most prized art piece, an original Takani of Milia's VF-1J in Gerwalk mode. I'm just in awe at how much detail he put into his art, he is my #1 favorite artist, then Tenjin of course! Got it back in 2011 for the most I've ever spent on a single Macross item, $800! (I"m not a crazy cel collector like some of you, where that would be a drop in the bucket) If you did not remember, he had a lot of his work up for sale. This was the cheapest valkyrie, so did pooled all the pennies together. http://www.macrossworld.com/the-ultimate-yoshiyuki-takani-macross-collection/ Again, have posted this before, but this is the first HQ pic I've uploaded of it. This REEEEEEAAAALLLYY makes me want a Macross Box art BOOK. Maybe I could do an unauthorized one like the Transformers ones or something and not get into too much trouble. Something something fair use right? From the Imai 1/72 Variable kit.

Miyatake's SDF-1 art for the Gold Book (note the date...AFTER the release of the movie...so a bit ret-conned!) May have posted this before, but I borrowed my daughter's camera for some better quality. Got this way back in 2001 or something when I went to Japan with Graham and Seiichi. We stopped at Mandarake and saw them in the display. The ARMD was 13000 yen and the SDF-1 was 15000 yen...I know, a real rip-off, LOL :P

My hikaru puzzle was all in pieces in the bag, so opened the staples and put it back together today. Even though these things are small, doing Macross art is actually pretty darn hard (I also had to re-assemble my sdf-1, it came loose in the bag) Also picked up the last of the 3 puzzles, so I got that going for me, yay. Just missing one of the shitajikis (this same pic of the valk in front of the sdf). I think I have an extra loose hikaru/misa if anyone has a dup of the sdf-1 version they want to trade to complete their own collection.

Gwyn- From your pics https://www.decultureshock.com/genesis-climber-mospeada-popup-shop Was there any info on the source or those drawings? Were those drawings from someone's collection?
-
Thanks for the pics Gwyn! I just saw this video (thanks xstoys!), and said 'hey that looks like Adrian'...and now I can confirm it Next time someone is there, can they flip over the legioss cutout in front of the TV? geez!

Really...Geo IP lockout after all these years? ughhhhhhhh

Akim, HLJ ships to Europe, but if you have any problems, I'll happily ship to you once I get mine (you've been a great help in the past) https://support.hlj.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001861474-Shipping-Methods-Overview Shawn

Thanks for the link! Those builds indeed are awesome. A few of them in our own aggregate thread Nice to see my personal 2 favorites have taken first place! (the strike with silver accents and cel shaded vf)
-
and we are done.

Please tone down the HG hate/bashing or we'll need to lock this up. Understand you might have feelings about it, many of us do, but nothing new could be said here that hasn't been said for over 35 years now...ad nauseam. No more F@## this type language please, keep the discussions above the belt. S

Did I miss this - is this a re-release of the last book, or a new one? https://www.hlj.com/entertainment-archive-genesis-climber-mospeada-nkp02481

THANK YOU for putting on the stickers-they make SUCH a difference in these toys. That GPB looks TOUGH as hell....great display!! That GPB looks TOUGH

Thanks Seto found it! Now I can file it away mentally プラモデルメーカー用に描かれた、機体上面に追加するミサイルポッド（上）。 また、ビームキャノンは通常の右主翼下への懸架（下）の他、両翼に2門装備する例（中）も描かれた。 両翼への搭載は第20話でも登場。 ただしミントのための花火を打ち上げるための装備だった

Carl-think you are referring to this? http://materialistzen.blogspot.com/2010/01/imai-files.html
-
Akim, you always have the best resources!! So seeing this line art with the central missile pod, does that imply it was not an Imai invented gimmick, but perhaps cannon? Google Translate can't make out the top left text....are these options for gun placement? Carl asked a few hundred ages ago, but does anyone remember the original source of the "Imai invented the central missile pod" statement?

That Bandai kit originated with a Imai 1/100 Super, and the Strike variant was released in 1984 for the movie. Imai did some really fantastic work (aside from their hook-nose gerwalks ha)!!| Their 1/100 Battroid was miles ahead of its Arii brother, and the only time they shared a large scale. It is a very odd release. And this is another fantastic Gray build vs white...these are really are growing on me!
-
That is incredible! Fantastic job
-
Uhmmm...WHAT? 608 pages? My goodness. His last variable fighters book was huge at 280...this is more than 2x that pre-ordered! and pre-order fails because of my address...so will wait for the october release
