spanner Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 tracking scan shows it stopped over in Hong Kong and already departed there early this morning so it should land in Sydney later today.. with a little luck it should be out for delivery tomorrow! (Monday) Quote
no3Ljm Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 That's some cool pages, JVM. Thanks! Want to have one but HLJ doesn't carry it. Where did you guys score one? Quote
sh9000 Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 Some people bought the book at Amazon Japan. I got my HMR ideas book at CDJ. Quote

spanner Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 Mine just turned up at work 15mins ago! Had a quick flick through and its amazing! So many nice photos! best Macross model book so far! Quote
jvmacross Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 Agreed.....you'd spend hundreds of dollars tracking down every issue of Model Graphix to get the same pics collected in this "archive".....it was a great idea for a book. Quote
spanner Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 got to have a good look through it during my (extended) lunch break today! lots of gorgeous work in there! A very worthy addition to my Macross book collection! Quote
spanner Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 such a beautiful book! definitely the most satisfying Macross book related purchase of late! Quote
jvmacross Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 Glad you are enjoying it.....there is more to Macross collecting than the toys.....but it can become a slippery slope! Quote

PMK916 Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Question here for all of you fellow fans: I have been wondering for many years -- what is the very first printed appearance of Macross? I'm a long time comic book collector and have always wanted to find out the answer to this. So far, the earliest print I own is a manga that appears to be from 1982 (see attached image.) Any help is appreciated! Thank you! Quote

If in any printed media...it may have been one of the many anime magazines of the era...or perhaps the promo poster advertising the TV series? Quote

Yes, I'm trying to figure out what is the very first instance of print...I like your thoughts about a poster or a magazine (those both sound like very legit possibilities.) I wonder how we can go about figuring out what it might actually be... As for the picture I posted -- is that manga the earliest printed manga of Macross at least? Quote

I think the earlist mention of macross in print would have been from one of the anime magazines....there were several.....for example...here is a kids TV magazine from October 1982.....the month the show started....I have some anime mags from before that month that promote the show...if I can find them I will post.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/29270-macross-magazines/?do=findComment&comment=1188350 Being SDFM was the first Macross show, technically, that would be the "first" manga.....however, I usually think of manga as a B/W comic....but that's just me Quote
PMK916 Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 That's fantastic! I'd love to see the others if you find them. Thank you. Quote

For now you can browse the Macross magazine section.... http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/magazines/_magazines_menu.htm It will be a while before I can pull out any of my old magazines.... But from here, you can see that the magazine issue of "The Anime" is from September 1982...a month before Macross went on the air.... http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/magazines/_magazines_theanime.htm Take a look, there are others from September 1982...but that month seems to be the earliest mentions of Macross in a printed format....

PMK916 Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 That link is full of great stuff. Thank you for opening my eyes to all these publications. I suppose the next step is to find out how hard it is to actually get my hands on some of the earlier ones. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Pretty easy.....just browse YJA....there is always something.... Quote
