Thanks Renato!....Until today, that book (among so many other great vintage Macross books) had been just another in my collection of cool macross "pic" books for the last 30 years!!! Thanks again for translating the interview.......it's a great way to celebrate the Macross 30th anniversary!

Maybe..... Here is one for the video release on Yahoo Japan......considerably pricier....but it's the same graphic..... http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b105294746 Any Macross poster experts care to chime in on whether the ebay poster is legit? I went ahead and bought one because it reminded me of this one that I have from the original series: Recent find......

Macross 7 TV promo poster on ebay......seems original/legit....... http://www.ebay.com/itm/POSTER-41-X-29-MACROSS-7-PROMO-POSTER-HUGE-/270916531512?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f13e23538#ht_821wt_1270

.....and now the long wait.... I officially declare it my favorite Yamato valkyrie....inevitable defects and all!!! It'll be the first valk I deem worthy of a pre-order if available....or immediate buy when it becomes available... Springtime release?.....
-
Actually....it's too complicated.....the choices should have been toy, toy, or toy...
-
Thanks Exo! BTW.....just re-read my post....I meant to say toy........ugh My vote has been casted for a toy version! C'mon Yamato don't fail me now!

A VF-4 for 2012 is not really surprising..... But Yamato.....please remain a world-class "toy" producer on this one.....thanks!

heheh....

I don't read Japanese, but yes, I have collected the series up through the last collected volume (I also have all the Macross Ace issues) ...... Based on what you are describing and what I have seen, it seems like it is not a retelling of the original...but an alternate reality altogether (like the Star Trek reboot).....nothing wrong with that...right? As for Akira, never watched the anime or read the manga.......so the reference does not help me understand your comparison...... I am not collecting Newtype Ace, so I will need to wait until (hopefully) the next chapters are collected into a new volume. Until then, looking forward to your continuing observations/spoilers....... So, what you describe in your spoiler...was that the cliffhanger for the next issue?...If not, what was Hikaru's reaction and was it reported to Global/ SDF-1 science team? Like any good sci-fi story...........that type of knowledge seems to have repercussions...
-
So Macross has officially gone down the Star Trek path? It's all good!
-
So is MtF the new cannon? A device to bring it more in-line with the post-DYRL Macross universe (a universe filled with giant monsters, song energy weapons, and furry semi-sentient rodent buddies)?.... .....or simply just another ploy at taking our money! Speaking of taking our money..........where's Yamato with that MtF SDF-1 and VF-1J!!!!!!!!! Graham?
-
Any color pics of the SDF-1?
-
BTW....speaking of the 1/48 renewal versions of the Hikaru and Roy VF-1S.......do they still require decals to be placed for things like the UN Spacy kite symbols? Or have they been tampo printed? If tampo printed, I may be persuaded to pick one up from the current HLJ sale...seems like a good price and I never picked up a Hikaru VF-1S in 1/48 scale before........
-
1/48 TV-style cannon fodder would be nice (they already have the head for it).......maybe a re-paint TV-style angel bird 1/48 VF-1A...but that may also sit on shelves? Oh...and a VF-1A "U.N. Headquarters Guard" Valkyrie in 1/60..........may as well complete all the 1/60 VF-1 TV variants.........
-
Hasn't been released.........but like the new Macross World logo points out.....2012 is right around the corner....hopefully a surprise announcement soon!
-
In these color pages...is the SDF-1 shown?...If so, is it SDF-1 TV colors or SDF-1 movie colors?...What about the Daidalus and Prometheus?

I am on the side of everyone who agrees that these are toys that are bought for the love of the design and the show they represent....however, with that said...I believe there are a few that have increased in value and have more or less remained valued at more than their original MSRP.....they are fortunately or unfortunately (depending on your whole take on the subject) a select few... I'll start the list with some that continue to fetch prices above their original MSRP (either due to short runs or current lack of a re-release): 1/48 VF-1A Valkyrie (Low Visibility Color) 1/60 VF-1J Valkyrie (Miria Fallyna Jenius Custom) with Super Parts (2nd Ver.) 1/60 VF-1J Valkyrie (Maximillian Jenius Custom) with Super Parts (2nd Ver.) 1/60 VT-1 Super Ostrich (2nd Ver.) 1/60 VE-1 Elintseeker (2nd Ver.) 1/48 VF-1A Valkyrie (Hayao Kakizaki Macross Chronicles Exclusive) (TV ver.) 1/60 2nd ver VF-1S Low Visibility 1/60 Roy VF-1S Anniversary Edition 1/60 Hikaru VF-1S Anniversary Edition 1/60 VF-1S Max 1/60 VF-X 1/48 VF-1J Stealth with Super/Strike Parts combo set 1/48 VF-1S Valkyrie (H. Ichijo) with Super/Strike Parts (Weathering ver. Macross Chronicles Exclusive) What do you think?...Any others? Oh and I just listed Yamato as I am not familiar with the Bandai valks as much...so maybe there are some Bandai releases that can be added to this list?.... Also, I think all of the vintage Macross belong on the list as I am pretty sure you cannot buy any of the original 1/55 Takatoku valks for their original MSRP of 3980 yen....(although they are definitely not demanding what they used to before the Bandai re-releases)....

Thanks! Here are a couple more: Enjoy!

What episode is Macross the First Currently on...in relation to the original SDFM....I wonder if it will actually match (in count) the original SDFM TV show episode for episode? It seems that MtF is bringing that portion of the Macross timeline inline with the rest of the Macross Universe thus far (stylistically)....for example....DYRL "as a movie within the Macross universe" is now a better representation of Space War I (stylistically) if compared to the "look" of Mtf vs SDFM...it is closer in look to MtF than SDFM.......the same goes for all Macross productions made after DYRL...they all seem to follow the DYRL style versus the original SDFM "look"......when all is said and done...what will be the official chronicle for Space War I? Or is MtF a "TV mini-series" within the Macross world? Does anyone know if the Macross Frontier movies are also "movies" within the Macross Frontier era? I do believe there are stylistic differences, for example valk armor that is seen only in the Macross Frontier movies and not the TV show.....
-
Nice cels! Was anyone selling Macross cels? If so, what what available?
-
Any color pics in this issue of the MtF SDF-1 yet? Still waiting for that....curious to see if the Daedelus and Prometheus have the same paint scheme as their TV/Movie counterparts and how they look connected to the movie-style SDF-1.....
