grogall Posted September 23 Posted September 23 Figure King 319 isn't bad either, almost 40 pages on D.Y.R.L. 40th Anna, with some nice interviews and toy info.... Sadly nothing new presented though. Quote

Just saw this in akihabara. Although I just flipped through, seemed nothing new if you had other books on plus..of course I don’t read the Japanese text.. Quote
jvmacross Posted October 1 Posted October 1 Latest R-Area....Patlavalkyrie.... Don't know much about 'Patlabor'....but the 'Patlavalkyries' look pretty good! Quote
twich Posted October 15 Posted October 15 I am assuming that these are custom model kits that this magazine or some amazing modeler's put together for this magazine? I have to say that I am really digging the designs! The different fast packs for the VF-1's and the SV-51 custom is just awesome, I think I prefer that to Kawamori's design, as you don't have to worry about floppy wings in a toy! Twich Quote

Shawn Posted October 28 Posted October 28 Reserve up to Jan 5th...if you pre-order you get some sort of extra gift, pic isn't loading for me https://store.kadokawa.co.jp/shop/g/g322409000660/ Haruhiko Mikimoto's "Macross" illustrations come together across time and space! Haruhiko Mikimoto's first Macross artbook, who was deeply involved in the planning stages of "Super Dimension Fortress Macross" and brought the characters to life, is finally here! This book contains over 350 carefully selected illustrations from the vast amount of illustrations in the Macross series, from the magazine illustrations that debuted Lynn Minmay to the present, including "Super Dimension Fortress Macross," "Do You Remember Love?", "Macross II," "Macross 7," and more. The trajectory of Haruhiko Mikimoto's Macross illustrations over more than 40 years and the origins of the Macross series are now here! Quote

Will go for the freebie book order unless any other shop does their own freebie...then may need to order duplicates! LOL Quote
jvmacross Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Just placed my order from Kadokawa via Buyee....thanks for the heads up....too bad it won't release until next year Quote

Jasonc Posted October 29 Posted October 29 I'll have to buy this when I get home. I'm not getting any options to buy using Buyee, so I don't know if that's the work computer or not. Either way, I'm glad this is coming. Quote

Could this be the same bonus offered directly from the Kadokawa site? If so...would explain the higher price that Yoyakunow has listed it for....proxy fee? Quote

So far looks like just one version....it's "oversized" because it is 288 pages....so slightly more pages than the Macross Variable Fighter Designer Note....and that was a pretty thick book....until we got Kawamori's Macross Designer's Note which came in at a whopping 624 pages! If this Mikimoto book is truly ALL MACROSS....it will be epic... Quote
