Air Elijah Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 If people have this book can't we at least get some damn photos if not more scans? C'mon, show us what this baby is made of! At 136 pages I would have thought there would be some more content here already. Quote
Wheels Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 Yeah, but if people scan the pages, what's the point of getting the book? I'd like to see more pics myself, but by people not doing it, and just talking about it sure is pushing me to get the book myself. Quote
AlphaHX Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 (edited) If people have this book can't we at least get some damn photos if not more scans? C'mon, show us what this baby is made of! At 136 pages I would have thought there would be some more content here already. Most of us know what this baby is made of. Graham already told us... The book contains the following artwork: -All of Tenjin's Hasegawa Macross model box art, up to and including the VF-1A/J/S fighter kit released last month. Tenjin's art from the Japanese Macross Plus, Macross Zero & SDF-Macross DVDs. Tenjin's box art and promotional art for the Playstation games; VF-X2 and Macross Plus Game Edition. Tenjin's art from the Macross 2000 calendar. Some newly created art, such as the cover art, a picture of Roy and a large folding VF-1 pic at the back of the book. Various work that Tenjin did for the Macross Zero OVA. One non-Macross picture, a Spitfire MK I. Heres Tenjin's site. It shows a good amount of the Hasegawa box arts... http://www.studio-tenjin.com/gallary/index.htm I could take pictures but I dunno what exactly youre looking for. All I can say is that there isnt a lot of new pictures. A good majority of it is just the Hasegawa box arts... which was the main reason why I wanted this book. Edited May 7, 2005 by AlphaHX Quote
Air Elijah Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 Well, the updated Strike picture would be nice to see for a start. Not all of us are familiar with all of his work. I've seen all the Hasegawa VF-1 pics and some other game and M+ stuff but a lot I've not seen. Some of the ones on the site have thumbnails but can't be viewed for some reason. I'm just interested too in seeing how it is presented, how much text there is, how many pictures are there all up. I'm not as interested in scans as simply a review of the book showing some content.

I found it awhile back before the book was even announced. As for how much text, how its presented, etc... someone already posted a picture of the layout on the first page. For now, heres the strike picture... I'll try to find some time later to take pictures. Quote

Majestic Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 OT but, What exactly is a 'coffee table book'? Traditionally an art, photography or architecture pictorial book (or can be anything), usually oversized, meant to be kept on or in your coffee table for entertainment purposes for yourself or guests. Not really meant to be taken literally as much as symbolically. Quote
Hurin Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 OT but, What exactly is a 'coffee table book'? It's just a common term for an over-sized book with large pictures that is commonly placed in a living room or a sitting room to entertain guests. It's not a novel. . . it's a picture-heavy book meant to simply give you something to look at (with some light reading). Quote

At 136 pages I would have thought there would be some more content here already. I took pictures of the index of the book. As you can see the material included is vast and very interesting! (sorry for the bad quality of the pic) Edited May 11, 2005 by Gerwalker Quote
Yohsho Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Got mine in today, its a very nice book. I would scan in pics from it if I wasn't afraid of breaking the binding. Love the artwork in it. Quote
Knight26 Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 I just ordered mine, can't wait. And is it just me or is that valk in the lower left of the latest pic the same pose as the VF-X2 YF-19 poster? Quote
Osean Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Is there anybody stateside selling the artbook? I'm trying to stay away from credit right now and I don't really want to send a MO overseas. Quote
peter Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 (edited) Last month when I was in Japan visiting my girlfriend, she laughed at me for wanting to waste 4,000 yen on an otaku book. I told her (like the wipped man that I am) that I wouldn't buy it. This morning I received the book from her in the mail. She said she flipped through it to see what the fuss was about and coudln't figure out why I would buy it. Well, needless to say, I'm really happy with it, and in the end, I didn't spend a single yen! I should tell her I'll be saving lots of money with this book since I won't need to buy tons of Hasegawa models just for the box art! Apparently, she had some trouble tracking it down...some places were sold out of it already. Edited May 12, 2005 by peter Quote

Graham Well that's one of Seinfeld neighbor's idea. In many episodes of the sit com Kramer pushes his idea of making a 'coffee table book' that is actually a book about coffee tables with legs that you can be used it as a coffee table... Here is a link to a real coffee table book: http://edition.cnn.com/books/news/9805/12/coffee.table.cnn/ Quote
Toonz Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 got the book tonight from kinokuniya..... and each page really put a BIG WOW on my face! Quote

fansubs2000 Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 Hey Toons which kinokuniya did you find it at? Did you special order it though them, or did they have a bunch in stock. How much are they asking for the book? Quote
Toonz Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 yes, i made an order through kinokuniya (Takashimaya) but i'm not sure of how many copies they have in store. it costs S$102. Quote
Beltane70 Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 This book is yet another item in the list of things that I didn't buy when I was in Japan last week. I just may ask my friend who's going there in June to bring me back a copy. Quote
Prime Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 I got me copy last week. It is a must have for Macross fans. Has anyone done english translations for the descriptions? Not that it matters too much. Quote
