sketchley Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Great Mechanics.DX 29 (summer 2014) Macross Content: 2 page buildup and review of the 1/48 VF-1S/A Strike/Super Valkyrie kit. It ends with a reveal of the 1/48 VF-1J Max/Mira Super Valkyrie with Reaction Weapons kit. What I found more interesting is the 6 page article just before that with a Kawamori Shoji interview basically on the new "M3" series and the design of the Argent transforming mecha. Most interesting is the article's subtitle: "the current form of Kawamori's design, seen in "Argent". Aside from some rough sketches and the finished Argent mecha, there's also a page showing the Lego design process - the new twist is that he's (or someone) rendered it in the Lego 3DCG build program, in addition to building it in bricks!

Keith Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Why is it always freakin' iphone cases? I demand a Mikimoto art GS5 case! Quote
antibiotictab Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 The EP also contains 4 Macross related songs and her first spanish langauge track, aswell as others. The pronunciation of both Japanese and Spanish resemble, especially vowels, so I think she sings well. それにしてもこの人いつも若作りだよな・・・*talk to myself* Quote

sketchley Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Piece Of Peace 3 [Osaka 2014.07.19 to 08.31] http://www.pofp.jp/ This is an exhibition of world heritage sites built in Lego. Unexpectedly, Kawamori Shoji's VF-25 has its own display in it - in all three modes (that's 1 set each for Fighter, GERWALK, and Battroid). [Picts, etc., to come] Quote
Tochiro Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 COSPA will release a Roy Focker jinbei (traditional Japanese summer/festival garment for men) in late September (a bit late for festival season, but oh well theres always next year I suppose). The garment will retail for 7800yen, which is fairly reasonable for a jinbei, and be available in both Medium and large sizes. Dont just keep cool in summer when you can also be cool :-) Quote
Tochiro Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 The latest chapter of Macross the First will hit ComicWalker 7 days late (Sept. 4) but will be an all new chapter! (the first in a long time). The latest chapter will continue the 'Episode 0' prequel arc. Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Great news! But only for comic walker? MTF won't be printed anymore? Quote
Tochiro Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 It's the first new content that hasn't been physically published. I'm sure that they will compile and publish a new tankobon once there's enough new material to do so. Which, at this rate, could be a while. Quote
Tochiro Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Aaaaand.... The new chapter of MACROSS THE FIRST has just hit ComicWalker (JPN only). Log in to check it out!!! First new content we have had in a looooong time! Quote
Sergorn Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 I wouldn't count two month between chapter a looooong time personnally. I've followed some mangas which had years of hiatus.... That said there are already around 120-125 pages published page for this new volume, so in a couple of chapters there'll be enough material for a new tanbokon. Si this could happens before the end of the year if there isn't another unexpected hiatus. -Sergorn Quote
Jefferson Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) There's only this chapter new. The other chapters available on Comic Walker have been published in the Newtype Ace last year and are in the 5th tankobon. It's an over one year hiatus. Edited September 7, 2014 by Jefferson Quote
Sergorn Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Oh ? My bad, I thought all these "prequel" Chapters published on Comic Walker were new. -Sergorn Quote
