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..

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!

Yes...they started the first few issues with "in - universe" type customs...but the last few issues have been VF mash-ups with other anime shows...

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!

I'd still cheat a little and sneak a breath through your nose for the next 5 long long months. 
release date March 10, 2025

Well....the last time we had a definite release date was over 8 years(?) ago...then it kept getting rescheduled.....Hopefully this is not the same....

Will go for the freebie book order unless any other shop does their own freebie...then may need to order duplicates! LOL

Can we safely hold our breath now?

Just curious. Is this the same long-awaited book that was announced years before? Thanks.

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. 

I was able to add it to my Buyee cart via their browser extension....if that doesn't work you can always just manually put in a store order on the Buyee site

Ended up ordering here.  The additional booklet will contain selected rare sketches of Lynn Minmay and early image boards for SDF Macross.

★Kadokawa Store Bonus★

A booklet is included as a bonus.

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?

How come this amazon link says the mikimoto book is JP oversized?

Are there 2 sizes of mikimoto's book?

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...

Yeah, unless you have earned points, there usually aren't any deals to be had on books....if you order via Amazon they have the 'price match' guarantee...but not sure how well that works out for books...

Thanks for this info. I was finally able to order this through Buyee. I have it set as an extension on my home computer browser, but still had to put in the link. I ordered 2, so now it's just a waiting game.
