Hopefully, it is just being pushed back some more...maybe for an October 2022 release to coincide with the SDFM 40th? Edited December 18, 2021 by jvmacross Quote
sh9000 Posted December 18, 2021 Posted December 18, 2021 Bummer. I was wondering why I couldn’t find the preorder for the Mikimoto book in my 2018 orders. Hope it still becomes available at a later time. At least I was able to order the Macross Great Anatomy mook. Thanks for the heads up. Ordered 2 copies of the mook with other items to spread out the shipping cost. Quote
jvmacross Posted December 18, 2021 Posted December 18, 2021 It would make sense, at this point, to have it pushed to an October release....would be disappointing if it just has been completely scrapped... The Great Anatomy mook is worth it...nice to have all Macross releases represented within a single source... Quote
jvmacross Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 Macross 25th Anniversary Memorial DVD boxset - Booklet I have been chasing this booklet for years, but have never been able to get myself to pull the trigger on it. The problem was that the only way to get one was to buy the DVD boxset, which (even after the release of the Bluray set) still commands a hefty premium. I do not usually collect the "official" releases, namely because of the lack of English subs...but in this case, I already had the bootleg Bluray set inside a legit Macross Bluray boxset that came up at auction minus the disks. So it made buying the DVD boxset an even harder pill to swallow. Anyway...flash-forward to the final days of 2021 and at long last....a Memorial DVD boxset set came up that was at the price point I was willing to spend for acquiring the booklet alone. The long game finally paid off and I now have this booklet in-hand. Although I do not usually collect the Macross video releases, I do collect the special books, posters and other "collector's items" that usually are often included as bonus items on the video releases . These are some of the most difficult items to attain for obvious reasons. In my opinion, the booklet included in the DVD memorial boxset is in the top 10 of all Macross publications ever made. It is a visual tour of "all things" Macross. The booklet starts with a synopsis of each episode of the SDFM TV series, interviews, character and mecha lineart, plus illustrations used on the model kit boxart from the legendary Yoshiyuki Takani . But the most interesting part to me was the inclusion of several pages of SDFM era merchandising. Included are several pages ranging from posters to books, toys and games, and everything in between. I have been collecting Macross for decades now, but even I was surprised by some of the rarities presented in this booklet's merchandise section. I have always wanted an all-encompassing Macross book that covered all of the various types of Macross merchandise from the original SDFM TV series. This booklet is as close to what I would envision such a book looking like. Only much larger and certainly more definitive. For now, it'll have to do. Quote
jvmacross Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 Yep, glad I finally secured a copy... Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 Nice book! Great addition JVmacross. Bet you have most of the merchandise referenced in the book. Quote
jvmacross Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 Several of them for sure....but the hunt for the vintage stuff never ends Quote

Yeah, I had been wanting (hunting) it for a while, but the problem is that the only way to get it is by purchasing the Macross 25th Anniversary Memorial DVD boxset, which I particularly did not want....had to just wait and jump on one that I had a chance to buy at the price I was willing to pay for just the book...

sh9000 Posted July 1, 2022 Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Tenjin's Artistry of Macross book will be released by Udon. Edited July 1, 2022 by sh9000 Quote
jvmacross Posted July 1, 2022 Posted July 1, 2022 Wonder if it will just be a reprint of select images (non-sdfm-dyrl) from the sorties books....if so, I'd rather wait for the 4th Sortie... Quote

Looks like I guessed right....no SDFM/DYRL...but looks like they may toss in some of the Macross Chronicle illustrations....so it would be nice to have those in one collected works book rather than across several magazines... I guess the positive news here is that a BW talent is being "allowed" to work with a known HG collaborateur.... Now if we could only get BW and HG to play nice regarding the SDFM/DYRL series....then they would have my attention.... Edited July 2, 2022 by jvmacross Quote
jvmacross Posted July 2, 2022 Posted July 2, 2022 It may be worthwhile to get it just to have several of the Macross Chronicle illustrations in one book....the model kit illustrations should already be in one of the Sorties books Quote
