I wonder if those goodies are COSPA products or not. The design of the Valkyrie mug is from that of the T-shirts from COSPA. But the web site tells those are "limited" things. And no news in the COSPA web site. Hmm.

I didn't feel like going to Ikebukuro, but should I go there? Hmm. Because I hate "エウリアン"...

More pics of goodies for the Genga Exhibition revealed:

Argh. I wanted a PSP case but not if it's just stock Sheryl and Ranka illustrations. That design with the VF-1J with all the pilots around it looks great, why couldn't they have used that??

I will definitely buy the Clear File with that design, though.

[EXO]

I want everything on that link!!!

Who's on the poster card with the VF-1J fighter... I'm guessing it's Alto, Hikaru, ??? and Shin?

[Major Tom]

It's a clearfile not postercard for that VF-1J pic

There is not Nakamura-san's name anywhere, but Kamiya-san's name. Where is Alto? And Michael is alive. After the Sayonara no Tsubasa's story, not the TV's?

But "Ozma who is fighting in the front line of the battlefield against the Vajra meets the another extraterrestrial "...That means during the battle against the Vajra. When is the timeline?

From left to right. Alto, Basara holding his guitar, Hikaru in the cockpit of the Valkyrie, Isamu, and Shin.

I can explain foreigners this picture is not a Robotech thing with those characters.

When I wore the Valkyrie T-shirt one day, a westerner was gazing at me for a while. I recognized Robotech is really famous abroad.

I don't know if I missed this story. It's kind of old. But I just stumbled across this site looking for 30th Anniversary stuff.

http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2012/04/25-1/a-look-inside-the-macross-30th-anniversary-celebration

I hope more is coming out. There is so much Macross stuff that I want like modern statues, a complete Macross Frontier soundtrack set, perhaps a Macross designed cell phone (I remember Evangelion and Eden of the East cell phones), anniversary books. I'm kind of disappointed so far.

Have to agree with you on the merchandise aspect....a nice companion artbook featuring many of the rare art from the exhibit would have been amazing.....missed opportunity I guess...

The only item I thought was unique the minmay plushie....but it should have come with a sound chip!!!!....

Erm, that is exactly what the very first item on the list is. And it comes with a CD, too (unfortunately, jacking up the price).

I'll take your word for it....although with MacF on the cover (isn't it SDFM's 30th?).....I won't get my hopes up.....I was thinking of a "fancier" book more akin to the recently released MacF genga hardcover....you know...classier and more expensive!

And will Tokyo Hunter carry this stuff??? ...Like they did the Minmay plushie??? I would probably want to pick up the "catalog" .......

Well, we wont know until we see it! Having said that, Satelite will also be selling the MacF genga book at the exhibit - I'd be surprised if they covered the same ground with both publications.

http://www.satelight...post_002256.php

Then again, even from the initial flyers for it that were at MACROSS: THE DESIGN, this new exhibit seemed aimed more at Frontier (Sheryl was all over the flyer, whereas posters for THE DESIGN all featured Minmay more prominently).

And will Tokyo Hunter carry this stuff??? ...Like they did the Minmay plushie??? I would probably want to pick up the "catalog" .......

Contact them and ask. This stuff goes on sale TOMORROW so ask now or risk not getting stuff.

Exactly the same links from the front page and the same information covered by the ANN article.

Also, is it too much to ask that you dont drop chunks of Japanese text unless you have the time/are willing to explain it to everyone else?

From the Famitsu web site. Now just 6.5 hours before the exhibition.

Can't wait to buy a T-shirt on this picture.

This one seems to be not for sale, but I want...

Not enough SDFM stuff for us early adopter types...

[UN Spacy]

I guess I'll have to wait until that merchandise hits AmiAmi.

Most of the stuff at Parco and the Design eventually ended up there in two or three months.

Maybe it's still early in the anniversary schedule and some really good stuff is still coming out. A Minmay statue seems like an obvious idea and an easy sell.

I'm surprised at all those Macross II artworks in that famitsu link. I still have two or three large, I think movie sized posters on heavy paper I picked up when the show was released here in the U.S. The music was pretty good but as a whole Macross II was forgettable. I thought they were trying to distance themselves from it.

Man, I'd love a poster of that 30th artwork!

As Sketchley noted in the round up of news from todays Newtype Ace, MACROSS CARNIVAL 30 is being held at Aeon Mall yamatokoriyama from Aug 11-15 and will include a stamp rally and a merchandise store among other things. Eek, my Sunday just got busy ^^;

It's not quite hours away... but still, quite far. I, too, was thinking about it, until I realized that it's on the "far" side of Nara Prefecture. Bummer.

[Renato]

It's "Caravan", not "Carnival"...

- the announcement of a No. 006 is missing from it's usual spot. Does this mean that 005 is the last one?

If so, I'm done collecting Newtype Ace.
