Great pictures and details about all the above And there is a giant 2 page dedication on the Genocide Valkyrie, loaded with all sorts of pictures and details Get this book!! Quote
jvmacross Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 I concur....the inclusion of the original Macross Hi-Metal releases was a nice surprise.... Hi-Metal R 2015-2022 Mook released by Hobby Japan.... Quote
jvmacross Posted July 7, 2022 Posted July 7, 2022 Hobby Japan Vintage Vol. 7.... Missed opportunity to have discussed the mystery VF-1C head?... Quote

sh9000 Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 Is this pic by any chance reused in the HMR mook? Quote

No....the pics used are basically the promo pics used in each of their individual releases, including some of the diorama-type promo pics.... What magazine issue is that pic from? Quote

Ordered from both stores. I'll keep the one that arrives in better condition and return the other back to Amazon. I hope they don't get shipped in bubble envelopes. Quote

sh9000 Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 Tenjin's Macross book https://www.instagram.com/reel/CgSqzWighyP Quote
jvmacross Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 Guess if you don't have any of the Sorties book or Macross Chronicle mags, should be a good buy Quote
Shawn Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 Its hard to not be bitter about them choosing to cut the proverbial baby in half..., but there could be new art in here to appreciate...I don't remember if the vf-4 was in his sortie #3 Suspect the vf-0s HMR will be in the new book too. I'll be getting it to show Tenjin some support even though it misses out my personal favorites...that being the original TV/Movie art. The entire splitting of the license is so damn silly, I hope in time they can figure out a joint license release option.. Baby steps I suppose. Quote

The HMR VF-4 illustration did not make it onto the Third Sortie.... Definitely getting the book to support more books in the future...maybe it may even lead to WWM releases...maybe Tenjin's Fourth Sortie? If anything, it will be nice to have several of the Macross Chronicle illustrations collected into one book Quote

Shawn Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 maybe they are going to do an english version 😛 Quote
Shawn Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 Its about FREAKING TIME...I was this close to just making my own and self printing something. https://tower.jp/article/feature_item/2022/09/02/3002 If you can't wait 5 more months for the book, come see the "Wall of Takani" in person at the upcoming SDCON in Torrance on Sep 17th!

jvmacross Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 This is a must buy book...At the msrp, it sounds like it's going to be pretty extensive...wonder if we'll get Takani, Suzuki...and Masami? Quote
sh9000 Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 Yep I'm definitely buying it. Please post Amazon JP and CDJapan links for that book when they get listed. Quote
