You should have no issues getting the rest of them....These are all easily available via YJA, Mandarake and several doujin book sites... Ugh, I should've been clearer in my editing. It's ordered from someone that gets them. It's preordered and will be enroute, LOL. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd take some time to picture all the books, mooks, and so on, but at the same time, since 99% of them are probably already documented online, I don't see a reason to. Nevertheless, it's cool to look inside of many of these from time to time. I should probably do the same with all 100+ posters I have, but same dilema. Quote

jvmacross Posted May 11 Posted May 11 Is it wrong to be more interested in the 84 page appendix? Quote
Shawn Posted May 11 Posted May 11 It will be 4 pages of vf-1(2 tv, 2 dyrl) and 80 pages of frontier and delta CG valks 😛 They always put the vf-1 stuff on the cover to hook you lol Quote
jvmacross Posted May 12 Posted May 12 After all these years...it's still the VF-1 that symbolizes the franchise.... Quote
the_foul_fowl Posted May 13 Posted May 13 I guess the same could be said for many franchises? RX-78-2 for Gundam to X-wings and TIEs for Star Wars. Thanks for the headsup on HJ! Btw, is Perfect Memory still good buy if I already have Macross Chronicles and the Macross Designers Notes? Just wondering if the material in Perfect Memory has already been reproduced in some form or other in reference materials. That said, SDF Macross is still my favorite part of the franchise, so more materials are never a bad thing 😬 Quote

the_foul_fowl Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Nice! Time to get myself a copy. 😬 I think the appeal of the VF-1 is also how it’s based off the F-14 which was probably one of the coolest fighters in the 80s, in no small part to Top Gun. Have always wondered how well the more modern designs from the VF-25 to 31 would resonate with those who’ve never experienced Macross before. Is the appeal of the VF-1 really evergreen or is it colored by our nostalgic lenses? 😂 Quote
jvmacross Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Not to derail the "book" thread any further, but hopefully with Disney's involvement....Macross (w/o the original series and film) can get enough "buzz" to help Macross gain enough visibility and interest outside of Japan and gain some ground on decades of lost opportunity....personally, I don't see how the series can "start" with Macross 7 and keep anyone new to the franchise interested to continue on with the rest of the shows....but that's just me being a complete SDFM/DYRL elitist...LOL To me, it would be like introducing Star Wars to a whole new audience, but without the OT....and you start out with the ST to kick off the Star Wars franchise and hope it keeps viewers wanting more of it...

jvmacross Posted May 14 Posted May 14 I'm in for the appendix...can't recall the last time there was a Macross furoku included with a magazine... Quote
jvmacross Posted May 16 Posted May 16 Didn't really need another Macross modelling book...but can't pass on the furoku Quote

sketchley Posted May 27 Posted May 27 (edited) Picked up the Monthly Hobby Japan Jul. 2024 issue yesterday. The attached Macross Valkyrie Picture Book is a definite must have—for new collectors as well as those with a substantial collection. In general, it is organized as: 1/2 to 1 page with the series name, synopsis, and key/main characters, and then multiple pages of the series' Valkyries. Reasons to get it: covers all Valkyries from SDFM to the latest Delta movie. Valkyrie stats (especially for the Delta Valkyries—I don't think I've seen stats for the VF-31AX Armoured Kairos in print before, and this book has them) Frustrations: no VF-4G Battroid image. Odd as they include the Max and Miria colours AND the VF-14 from the Sega Saturn Macross M3, as well as the YF-25 (another Valkyrie with limited stats) and the YF-30 from Macross 30. Maybe they couldn't get the license for the VF-X games? (The VA-3M is also 'missing', though the book does have the VA-3C Kai from Macross 7 Dynamite.) no stats for the Sv-303 (blanks or "armaments: details unknown") Surprises: a substantial section on the Macross II Valkyries the Macross II VF-XS in all 3 modes The inclusion of the VF-XS makes this more than worthwhile for collectors—I've only ever seen images of it in scans of an extremely rare anime magazine posted by a MW member a couple of years ago. Nice to have it in print. Edited May 27 by sketchley Quote

Still waiting for my copy to roll in, but from what I can see in those photos there's nothing new there except the VF-31AX's Armored Pack. It's all information you can find on the Compendium, the Mecha Manual, Sketchley's gateway, etc. I did a breakdown of the 31AX over in the Super Mecha thread back when the Master File came out... and of the Sv-303, since Master File had specs for it and this doesn't seem to.

Twich Google Translate does a good job for me...although I'm not really into knowing all about the stats Quote
