Dude, It has just about every Valkyrie imaginable. It includes the Series, DYRL, VFX 1 & 2, model covers, MZero, and a few other paintings. As far as technical info... it's pretty much an art book. Unless you know how to read the small print in Japanese. Thare are a few new pieces such as the cover (which is incredible) and a illustration of a WWII Bristish Spitfire, a gnarly unfolding pullout of Hikaru and his Valk in the hangar, and a new one of Roy in his flight suit.

I just got this bad boy today and it was worth every penny I paid for it! Talk about some killer paintings! Anybody else pleased/displeased with this book? Opinions? The newer paintings dated 2005, such as the cover art and the one of Roy are breathtaking!

R.I.P. Pat... and thank you for the wonderful movie memories that you left for all to enjoy... God Bless!

Now that I read your post with the cell of Hikaru again, I can see that you are doing this digitally. I did traditional cels for an animation class once and damn was it time consuming! Good to see your project is still rolling. I look so forward to seeing the trailer! Keep kickin' ass!

Thanx for the insight Pat Payne. I understand what you are saying. It just bums me out that we the "fans" pretty much get screwed as far as pricing and availability due to HG's practices. I'm glad that we have sites and forums like this to express our views. I guess what I had posted was wishful thinking, especially with the development of films like "Superman Returns" and "King Kong" being handled by filmmakers that are true fans. Even the remade Battlestar Galactica, which at first was not welcomed by the old hard core fans has achieved much success. I would just love to see Macross made available to the worldwide market in it's truest and purest form for those of us who want it. Hey, if you like RT, good luck to ya, and enjoy. But my point being that us Macross Purists are stuck with high price imports, or HK copies with bad subs. I guess ya gotta do what ya gotta do...

Ok... here it is.

Oops... I meant Indy 3, which was so bad (even for Spielberg) that I'm still trying to forget it exists.

Just PM me and I'll send. This comes from a white skull and crossbones on a round black sticker. It looks much like the one of Skull Squadron but it is in better detail and lacks a crack in the skull. Personally, I think it looks much better than the one that is used in our beloved Macross. I have this bad boy on the back of my truck, but I bought a few extra just for this purpose. I will scan it in as a JPEG, or I can do it as a PSD for those of you who have Photoshop. That way you can mess with it all ya want.

Someone just needs to buy out HG and put an end to this crap! That way us fans can benefit. Wishful thinking...

Paul Verhoeven is one of the worst Hollywood directors ever!!! All his flicks blow chunks!!! I can't believe you guys would even blink at this! The designs, acting, and lighting in this movie are horrid! The characters are so tongue in cheek that they are purely stupid. This movie came out during a period when Hollywood was making pure crap. Star Trek VI, Indy IV, Batman and RoboCop are some of ther biggest dissapointments I have ever seen. If they remake it, I hope they improve it, and there's A LOT of room for improvement.

NICE!!! I hope I can encourage ya to go with the DYRL designs/colorschemes!!! I'd LOVE to see that!!! Looks great so far!

Dude, Your cell of Hikaru looks pretty good considering you are still working on it. I commend ya! Have you considered just going to a PC for animation as far as cells, and coloring etc? I have done some animation myself and believe me, I know how time consuming it truly is! Especially with paints and waiting for them to dry, etc. I found it to be much faster and easier to control when I am coloring cells (or pencil tests) in Photoshop. You can also easily go back and make many changes or corrections as you see fit rather than bust out a new cell. Which I'm sure you know by now is not cheap. Good luck with your project and I hope to actually see some of it soon!!!

Dude... let me get home from work and I can scan in a very cool one! PM me and I'll email etc.

anybody know the link?

sweet dude!!!

DYRL always has been and always will be my measuring stick for awesome anime!!!

I would love to see a pic before I even think about shelling out $250!

as Ben Stiller once said... "Do it."

Does anyone know of any Macross fan films? Animated or live action? I'd love to see some!!!

Really? I know my PS2 w/flip top will play regular PS1 games, I figured you would just need a PS1 Swap Magic Disc.

I got the flip top for my PS2 with the flip top and it kicks ass! I love this game. Do you need a seperate disc for Swap Magic to play the PS1 Macross games?
