Save Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) Will be posting up a few more later. I actually do know what they are made for but when I first saw them I just thought they were over sized trading cards. Just noticed I spelled Shitajiki wrong. Edited July 10, 2009 by Save Quote
veffidas Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) Will be posting up a few more later. I actually do know what they are made for but when I first saw them I just thought they were over sized trading cards. You're probably in the majority in your initial assessment: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=27099 . As far as I know, it's still a "card poster" to thegunny. Though, if you're collecting them, they basically are over-sized trading cards. I have a few myself; maybe I'll try to post 'em when I've got the time. Edited July 8, 2009 by veffidas Quote
anime52k8 Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 could you explain what they're use for? (honestly don't know) Quote

veffidas Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 could you explain what they're use for? (honestly don't know) The Wikipedia link is useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shitajiki . I still see you don't get out much. You really should, the real world isn't all that bad. Well, the real world is pretty much only concerned about Michael Jackson's death right now, so I'm probably not missing too much. (There's also the Honduran coup, Obama's renewed Russian relations, etc., but MJ still pretty much has taken the cake recently.) Quote
thegunny Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 I'm shocked that a man of your knowledge hasn't suggested this site Pencil board Quote
veffidas Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 I didn't want to bring up Pencilboard.Net since it basically has all that we could ever post already listed in its archives. The Macross section is perhaps too extensive. Quote
Save Posted July 10, 2009 Author Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) Added some more, Pencilboard.Net does have allot. I'm still guessing there are some other there they don't have. Edited July 10, 2009 by Save Quote
thegunny Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I'd say so as the site hasn't been updated in a while. Quote
veffidas Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) If you're going to talk about Macross Frontier stuff, i.e. anything produced after it stopped being updated, it's not going to have it. However, for, say, Macross TV/DYRL, it's probably around 95-99.9% complete. (I'd say there might be a couple IMAI or ARII ones that are essentially advertisements for their products that aren't specifically Macross, but the ones specifically for Macross are essentially covered.)

Britai 7018 Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 A couple easier to find Macross 7 boards... Quote
Britai 7018 Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 I wasn't sure if these belonged here or in the modern trading cards thread... these are medium sized plastic cards for the Macross Frontier movie. I think some shops have it listed as "Visual Bromide", but I'm not sure what that means or if its a fuzzy translation. They came in individual plastic sleeves and can be purchased by the box-set or in vending machines (I think). Theres also a regular set for the series, but I can't get to those right now... Quote
Char350 Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Wow, impression collections everyone! I have a small collection of anime shitajikis (Gundam, Cyber Formula, Bleach, etc.) and I currently have 1 Macross shitajiki, pictures are in this thread since I'm making it available for trade: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=34048 Edited October 24, 2010 by Char350 Quote
Char350 Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) I recently got ahold of a couple of more. Here's my entire collection (Pictures of front and back) Edited January 7, 2011 by Char350 Quote
Bariaburu Faita Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Here is an unusual shitajiki by Takatoku Toys promoting their hand held LCD games. It is made of cardboard unlike the usual plastic. Quote

jvmacross Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Since someone already posted their Takatoku Toys shitajiki and this thread has not had any love in almost 4 years...I'll post something new... Old-school ARII shitajiki Quote
zard Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Nice shitajikis! Classic goodness. Thanks. Â Quote
jvmacross Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 They are nice, but I sold off most a few years back. I may have a few more left but never have the time to look for them. I will probably just hold onto the IMAI/ARII/TAKATOKU shitajikis Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 If you ever find them lmk JV. Thanks. Quote
jvmacross Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I may have some time over the holidays....will PM you with anything I find Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) Awesomeness! Thanks! Edited October 10, 2018 by Fortress_Maximus Quote

JetJockey Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 I have a bunch of these in my collection from Macross and other series. I never understood the use and got them for the artwork to display. Quote
jvmacross Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 There called "pencilboards" for a reason.... Quote

Yeah but over here we would just use a notebook or desk. Why use something like that with good artwork? And the ones I have aren't that sturdy either. Quote

That's just it....when produced they were not intended for "over here"....thus your confusion on their practicality These were meant for grade school kids....they were meant to be mass consumables not cherished treasures....

What grades would you consider grade school? Quote
jvmacross Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Not yet, but I will have some time this summer.  I'll PM you some pics as soon as I have some stuff to show you. Quote
