elrdf Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 It's funny, the episode 36 cel with background sold so ALL of Urbantreasurehunterjapan's macross cels that have been sitting for like a year he almost doubled the ALREADY super inflated price on it haha. I just noticed that he just jacked the price up on them substantially. Wow haha after I bought from him he messaged me saying he didn't answer because his mother has stomach cancer and she comes first. I have sent him several messages the last few months and not 1 response. After I purchased he messaged me telling me that garbage lie. He responds to offers though.. Quote
elrdf Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 when setting up shipping on rinkya can anyone give advice on shipping options, custom value etc? Thanks so much! Quote

So you bought something from a seller you stated was "not cool"......no way you got it for a bargain from that azzhat....I already knew you really wanted to get your hands on Macross cels, but I guess I didn't realize how desperate you really were to get them Quote
elrdf Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 He doesn't conduct his business in an ethical way. I'm not desperate but I can afford them so I don't mind paying that much for THAT cel. It's a very important key scene, the last... Quote
jvmacross Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Why wouldn't you have simply bought it when it was originally listed on YJA? Your financial support of this POS merely encourages him to continue....making you and others pay more on their hobby.....not desperate,eh? A fool and his money I suppose.... The cel collecting community applauds your contributions! Quote
elrdf Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Well, I got into collecting after it sold on YJA UNFORTUNATELY. Pains me to think I supported this POS. If he asked like 2k or something 2.5k that would be reasonable still alittle high but 3700 he lost his fkn mind. I paid less than 3,700 for it though. Quote
elrdf Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 That was his MOST expensive cel too that he was selling. All of his macross cels will sit forever and never sell though. Quote

Amazing. Everything you just stated completely contradicts itself. You apparently do not understand that by purchasing his most price-gouged cel.....the rest of his cels not selling anytime soon or ever becomes basically irrelevant. Wow. Quote

jvmacross Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 No...not my favorite of the evolving Mikimoto "art style".... Quote
Mokman Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 I agree. Quality artwork there but I like the classic style better. Quote
jvmacross Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 I really do not follow any other anime series other than Macross......but do other character designers change their style as often as Mikimoto? It seems he tweaked his style with each new Macross series or project he was involved in as the character designer. Quote

jvmacross Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Mikimoto's latest Macross character designs from Macross the First are way better than his 90's stuff....but still not as good as his original SDFM stuff... Quote

jvmacross Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 It's a shame none of his Macross the First work was included in Mikimoto's most recent collected character works book Quote
JetJockey Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 There was a Mikimoto Gundam manga I was going to check out. I still haven't got around to it yet. I was hoping that the art in it would be special. I still haven't fully watched or read any Gundam series yet. Quote

juice14 Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) For macross production cels I often see them with codes starting with A or B. How about those starting with without? Is it possible for non code cels to be production? Any advice? Tried searching but couldn’t find much.... maybe I am searching wrongly.... Edited July 15, 2018 by juice14 Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) Those codes are the sequence numbers used in production. The A and B letters plus numbers indicate the different timing. This information is typically referenced by staff in the production timing guides or storyboards booklets. Also a thing to know about sequence number, it is used to designate if some sequences are held longer, others are key, opening, eyecatch, ending, while others are repeated. There is a lot more to cover but that is a high level overview. As for non-sequence numbered cels those generally are not production cels; however, it depends. Some might be test cels, others are replacement unused sequences, while others are model sheets. Also it might be a hanken used for advertising, and some might even be used in post production. In the end you really need to be a detective when researching artwork. Good luck! Edited July 15, 2018 by Fortress_Maximus Quote

Fortress_Maximus Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Yes Yann's defunct site is a good primer. I posted this url awhile ago, glad he still hosts it. Quote
tepidarium Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 Back in the day, Animanga had a great community forum for cel collectors. And Cels.org cel dealer tracker, too! Now, the cel tracking merchant websites are gone Quote

jvmacross Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 There are not that many cel dealer sites to track anymore these days anyway...can be done with just a few website links Quote
