Shawn Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Are you going to get those 2 cels Mokman? Good luck!!! Have any thoughts on why the kite isn't colored on the other valk cel? Quote
Mokman Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 No I am not going to bid. Too rich for my blood, especially since I already have something of both of them (essentially). And why the kite isn't colored? I can only guess they missed it. It is colored in on the douga. Might be worth a look in the anime to see what it is like in the whole sequence. Quote
Mokman Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Yep just checked in the movie. The kite is colored-in in an earlier closeup shot, but not at all in this one. They must have just missed it and never made the correction. Quote
jvmacross Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 But if it doesn't appear in any sequence on the film, then was it a reject? Definitely have seen such cels listed recently Quote
Shawn Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Adding the picture in question for the 'archives' vs what is in the gold book...shadows are different as well on the left fuselage Quote
Shawn Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 ahhhh....I am dumb...it is from the later RELEASE of the valk, not the RISE of the valk Quote
jvmacross Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Mystery solved...and a slip up uncovered! So would you want a "specialized" version of DYRL that fixes all these paint errors? Quote

jvmacross Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Anyone follow the Macross related art results from the latest Heritage Auction?

mokuji Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Yes, i followed it live with other french collectors, price are now far beyond we can pay as midle class employees, the end of the collection game for us... Cels are now pieces of art, so they enter the international market of millionaires... Quote
jvmacross Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Well.....it just means our "art" has proven to have a greater return than we had previously imagined....let's hope WWIII doesn't ruin everything... Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Missed the HA action did anyone pick anything up? Agreed about nothing ruining the potential gains, but the who knows, something is always a brewing. Be safe friends. Quote

Not me....easily off by about 3 grand from the only item that was of any interest to me.... For about a grand more than what that Masami painting sold for, I'll be taking the kids to WDW in a few weeks....so I guess I can look at it as having a few vacations pre-paid if I ever wanted to liquidate some Macross assets....lol Quote

So the criminals are buying these high priced items and then selling it to themselves? Otherwise, why would anyone buy "privately" when they could just bid on the items for themselves....the ones who actually want these items and have the cash to spend on them...unless they are re-buying them at much lower prices, as sort of a "fee" for helping with the money laundering schemes....

jvmacross Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 well, I guess ultimately I don't care who'd buy my items if consigned for auction....that would be the auctioneer's problem Quote

Oden Posted April 24, 2022 Posted April 24, 2022 A couple of Macross: Do You Remember Love cels of Minmay and Hikaru/MIsa just sold recently on YJ for 234K Yen. That was definitely more than I would have expected. ヤフオク! - 超時空要塞マクロス劇場版 愛・おぼえていますか... (yahoo.co.jp) Quote
TFunster Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 somebody waited 40 years to get their hands on the Minmay Upskirt 🤣 Quote
jvmacross Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 After the Heritage Auction final auction prices...this just seems "normal" now Quote
jvmacross Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Original Masami Watanabe Macross illustration....415,000 jpy https://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auction/item/itemInfoEn.html?index=681430 I guess we can now officially say these prices are no longer a fluke limited to just one auction venue... And more importantly, why has there never been an illustration book of Masami Watanabe's collected works....a real shame, IMHO his work is just as iconic as those of Takani and Susuki, in terms of the illustrations used for Macross merchandising during the SDFM/DYRL era Edited May 1, 2022 by jvmacross Quote
Mokman Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 Interesting. I must have missed that category when the BWA went live. There are two more open still with time left to go. Quote
jvmacross Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 Masami Watanabe Original Illustration - SDF-1.........495,000 JPY https://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auction/item/itemInfoEn.html?index=681428 Quote
Oden Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 I've got a scene identification challenge for macrossworld Macross cel collectors. I've searched and search, but alas I've haven't able to find the specific scene. I had assumed this head shot was of Roy's yellow valkyrie from Macross DYRL, but it appears this might not be the case. Any ideas Quote
Shawn Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 come on..give is something HARD LOL 13:39 I think it first appeared in the debut of the 'Booby Duck' a few episodes earlier. Super nice cel btw!! Quote

Shawn Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 That one just immediately stood out because I had frame stepped over it so many times as a kid on my vcr 😛 Quote
Satsuki Kusakabe Posted August 4, 2022 Posted August 4, 2022 Hello, longtime lurker, small-time contributor lol. I'll try and post some of my collection over time. Apologies in advance for the bad photo quality, and thanks for looking! Quote
TFunster Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 i've been lucky enough to justify a really great cel, and i was wondering if the experts here had opinions on this piece: 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.
