i've been lucky enough to justify a really great cel, and i was wondering if the experts here had opinions on this piece:

Vd1296b.jpeg

I already have another cel from the same scene that i love, and this would be a great companion. however, this would be by-far my most expensive cel so I came here for a "sanity check" before bidding.

Prices keep going higher for Macross original art..however, this cel is listed as a "buy it now" rather than letting the market figure out it's value.

Personally, I think it's worth at most half of the current listing price if not less.  I believe this one has been re-listed multiple times, so that also speaks as to what other potential buyers think it's worth...

Of course, as with anything of this nature...if a certain piece personally  interests you or has some sort of significance that cannot be easily quantified...then only you can place a price on it

Thanks for the input! The USD exchange rate is at a 5+ year low, which is a big reason I'm considering a multiple-listed item. I don't think the seller would give me a ~20% discount any other way haha

Cool piece! That's a memorable scene for me.

I honestly was surprised I was able to have the highest bid....most Macross cels seem to go high these days, not too many deals anymore on them

So after all the nostalgia from reading the GTC thread, I decided to go up in to the attic and look through my macross stuff. Found my cel/artwork collection. I purchased this stuff in early 2000's....

A DYRL...

Another DYRL...image.jpeg.90647a99d5fa5641cd3e1a474ff65fcb.jpeg

 

I've always loved the Queadluun Rau female battle suit. I believe this is a planning/sketch/douga? (I don't know too much about the production pipeline for animation. Forgive me if I have that incorrect.)

This is from the episode Burst Point. The scene where a meltran Queadluun Rau pilot transports the micronized Millia aboard Macross to be a spy.  I also found the douga that shows the different targeting/flight control symbols that cycle through the display in this scene from the cockpit view.

Not sure of the exact episode - but maybe where she challenges Max in the video game?

Millia - from same sequence maybe?

Wow-very nice collection! Thank you for sharing!

I rarely if ever see any models or anything done on the concert outfit, they always do the final battle outfit.
With all the crazy LED tech we have now it would easy to make the dress light up right?

Your Milia one just rocks-that is an iconic scene! Hold onto that one!
When I was a kid I'd try(poorly) to draw her...always always always looked terrible

Nice stuff...the Genga and douga detail usually gets lost when it gets turned into the final cel

I saw what I believe was this cel (amongst others) at Nakano Mandarake couple days ago and it blew my frakkin mind! It was like uncovering a dead sea scroll, I had chills... I now know I MUST have an original cel in my collection, I'm starting a savings goal just for one. Incredible.

I bought it mainly for the colorful aspect and the genga...it does look like the trace lines are missing on the final layer....I was thinking of using a clear sheet and adding them back in as a separate layer

Got this great genga of Sylvie!

I know it's a longshot, but if anyone has its matching cel, I'd be more than happy to buy it off you for a good price 😀

Very nice Genga pickup...the MII stuff is still somewhat "affordable"....wonder if that may change once the MII bluray comes out?

It's definitely a longshot, I have a couple of genga that I bought years ago, then found a "similar" cel to go with them years later....so it's possible

That’s exactly where you saw it! I was there last year on my engagement trip and took the fiancee out to Nakano sneak a look. Dude has a pretty incredible collection. I hit a major life milestone recently, so I figured it was time to take advantage of the exchange rate.

just got em all back from the framing store and stuck on the wall last night! hard to get a good picture in the hallway, but I wanted a place where I'd see them often but where they weren't' getting too much direct sunlight, even with the UV-resistant glazing. big shoutout to Capricorn Framing in The Holy Land (SF).
