    Thanks for the binder info. Gonna have to order a few. My issues are definitely hard to dig through. Not to mention I will probably print out sketchley's translations and holepunch then and put them in there too. Might be nice to know what is going on. Just seems like sacrilege to take them apart.. but.. it seems that is what they are meant for.
  2. lavinrac
    Do you leave them as issues, or have a binder for each 'colored section' ? What do other people do?
  3. lavinrac
    Yep they have the regular binders. But there is a special binder to put all your COVERS in thats slightly bigger. I think its a japan exclusive or something. So did you separate yours out into binders ? OH BTW they always get back to me. Sometimes i just sense a bit of language barrier in the responses. but i have nothing but love for this great company.

    Yep HLJ got it straightened out. They are really great. I just wish it was easier to communicate with them in a timely manner. But they have always done me right. Oh is there any for those who live in the US to get the binders for covers? I cant yet bring myself to break my Chronicles up into pieces.. but i imagine eventually they will start falling apart as they are designed to be taken apart. at that point I may binder them.

    Seriously wondering if HLJ is stopping carrying macross chronicle? 53 is in stock and 54 is nearing a week late for their usual preorder. Anywhere else sell it? Naturally I want to keep buying from HLJ cause private warehouse is brilliant for shipping price on these thin magazines.

    Man I was just cleaning my shelf and i had forgotten these Garlands had a disintegrating shoulder problem cause it hadn't gotten me.. Ha.. I picked him up and his right arm fell to the floor. So I look at the left arm to see what I'm gonna have to do to fix it and that one comes off in my hand... So a quick search led me here. VF5SS I just ordered a red and a white set on Shapeways. Looks like you may save my toy here. Also looks like I need to figure out how to get started in 3d object design!! This is great! Thanks!!

    HLJ has gotten flaky on these. This no preorder thing is a drag. Anyone had any luck with another vendor on 35?
  8. lavinrac
    Up for preorder at HLJ now.

    That's Extremely helpful! Thanks! I will give mineral spirits on future a try on a couple pieces to see how it goes! As for grime.. It's mecha (macross, gundam, other), in bot mode, so not too grimy just yet. That grimy look will come in handy on the Votoms Scopedog though!

    Ok thats worth a try. It sounds like don't understand my thinners very well. I was thinking that mineral spirits would eat through future.. and acrylics, and anything, because they are a 'strong solvent' (in my mind anyhow) --- - So spray on future. Let dry, Then mix artist oils (from tube) and thinner to runny consistency for a wash, let dry, and rub off with mineral spirits? --- Correct? Do you add any detergent to your wash? (i have heard of this) Thanks!

    Well its good to know its delayed at both.. i guess.

    Ok So this is reviving a dead horse.. But I am experimenting.. - I have airbrushed a kit with Tamiya Acrylics. - I then Applied Future for gloss coat.. - Then a wash (Citadel Nuln Oil Shade), Unfortunately when I went to remove the wash i used rubbing alcohol and it ate through the future and the underlying acrylic got wiped away too. So, Now i am thinking I need to use a Lacquer clear coat instead of future.. I don't know exactly what i want to do there though. I dont run lacquers through my airbrush.. because the are a major pain to clean out. Any recommendations? I'm concerned a spray lacquer clear will go on too thick/orangepeel

    Im getting concerned about the same thing. Am I going to have to find a new place to order? 33 issues in? Hope not!

    They should just mold it in metal, then the scratches from transformation would be realistic

    Unicorn has got to be the best looking Anime I have ever seen. DYRL was FANTASTIC for its time.. but Unicorn, for THIS time.. is utterly gorgeous.. Even the CG stuff blends well in IMHO.. its Beatiful in HD on a 70" tv. And I am a sucker for UC anyhow. Full Frontal is a little cheesy though, to me. Still.. I love it and I think the wait between episodes is warranted by the quality and care shown of each volume.
  16. lavinrac
    Is this really weekly? Or Bi-weekly? Have not seen pre-orders for anything past issue 2 online yet.
  17. lavinrac
    Anyonwe figure out a way to subscribe to this from the US? I can't help but assume I am going to miss some issues if I do it through HLJ and have to check their site daily for new items.
  18. lavinrac
    Oh Brilliant HLJ.. I have been checking you for this every day And now i see this post and check it again and issue #1 is on 'Jan Restock' WTH man. WTH.

    I usually order most things from Hobbylink Japan, but books.. I dont know.. I get them wherever.. HLJ still has alot (not all!) of the old version of chronicle on their site and does not seem to be listing the new as available for pre-order. Know of any sellers through which US Buyers can pre-order?
  20. lavinrac
    Anyone know of a way to 'subscribe' to this in the USA yet? I would love to collect these, but I don't know who the best shop to buy from is, nor how to do so without missing out on an issue that sells out. HLJ, CDJapan, Hobbysearch.. I cannot find info at any of them about this upcoming redo of chronicle.

    Still hoping they re-release the VT-1 Super Ostrich. Even though VE-1 is cool, the Ostrich got a LOT more Screen time, and if i have to pay over $200 for one 2-seater valk.. its gotta be that one.

    Macross Books

    lavinrac replied to Penguin's topic in Collectors

    Is there a thread discussing the BOOK referenced on the news on Macrossworld's front page? http://www.macrossworld.com/3014/macross-the-movie-gold-book-released-as-e-book-for-30th-anniversary/ I would love to order this but I am not in Japan so not sure if it will work or not. I could not find a thread relating to it in search or looking around, so I figured I'd ask in this books thread. Thanks!

    Maybe sometime they will do it again.. maybe without edits.. maybe with a regular edition box.. maybe a complete restoration with blurriness fixed (somehow...) Think about how many releases there have been of this film. I would be surprised if this is the last. And considering the going price of ONE Yamato valkyrie shipped these days, i don't really feel like i was overcharged. To tell the truth, when I was a kid .. and first saw this movie around 85.. (I was 12!) the flying decapitated head freaked me out a bit! Now I kind of miss it.. but whatever. It will be back.

    I got Minmei standing on the Macross Logo just before the final battle/song.. Pretty awesome.
  25. lavinrac
    Makes sense. Still a shame for those of us who bought legit copies but don't speak Japanese. The worst part for me is I took 4 semesters of Japanese in college, but forgot most of it.. that and we didn't get that far into Kanji anyhow. I'd love to take it locally but cannot seem to find a college that offers it in my area.
