Thanks for the help and translations fellas.

BTW. Is there a way for folks outside of the US to get the pin set that I've been seeing on the back pages?

How many extra binders are you guys getting? I have one set (2 binders pet set) on preorder at HLJ.

I don't think there's any way to get the pin set, except through a proxy.

As for binders, I ordered one set this time (and a set of the Gundam Perfect File binders). Eventually, of course, you'll need eight.

For anyone ordering directly from DeAgostini, I recommend ordering more than one set at a time, or one set and something else. The binders are ¥590 per set, and DeAgostini tacks on a ¥315 charge for any order under ¥1000.

PHP smack down, tweaks and updates from the revision:

Timeline 09A: The Macross Forces a Fold: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRtimeline/Timeline09A.php

Complete!

Mechanic: TF SMS 04A: YF-29 Durendal: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRmechanic/TFsms04aYF29.php

- I was really worried that the sheet would repeat some of the difficult to translate pseudo-science on the YF-29 in the Macross F Official Complete Book, and thankfully, it didn't! It's laden with lots of juicy bits instead. Yum!

ER/RM++ Project - Episode sheets:

M04A & B: Super Dimensional Fortress Macross Eps. 4 "Lynn Minmei": http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRepisode/M04ABeps4.php

- loads o' goodies herein. My favourites are the species of fish that Hikaru lassos (that's a real fish, NOT mutated by the space fold. Take that Del Rey novels!) and the clarification of Macross and the origins of the term "otaku".

707A & B: Macross 7 Eps. 7 "Summer Accident": http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRepisode/707ABeps7.php

- the biggest shocker in this one is the image source for the Riviera. That's just, like, wow.

I agree, it's gorgeous, but I'm afraid this is an old illustration. It has already been published in old chronicle issue #31 or 32, if I remember correctly.

#31.

Complete! (an epic one at that)

Glossary 04A: AIF-9V - SF-3A Lancer II: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRglossary/Glossary04a.php

- a lot of handy bits of info, but the most telling is an actual explanation on why Exsedor's appearance changes between SDFM and 7 (nevermind DYRL)! Now if only they would be so forthcoming with the other design changes...

Forgot about that one! You are correct....and I am relieved!...I am really only looking to get the new covers...so looks like maybe there will only be 30 new cover illustrations after all....maybe :)

It's mine~~~

I also watched this picture on Facebook today. I am following a Singaporean's posts.

On a related note, one of the bookstores near my workplace had one set (2 binders) on sale. You may be able to bypass the shipping charges if you get a store to order them for you.

Complete:

Gallery: Zero: Macross Zero: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRgallery/zero.php

ER/RC++ Project:

Mechanic: Zero AUA 01B: SV-51: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRmechanic/ZEROaua01bSV-51.php

The entire front page (new for the revised edition) and tweaks to the existing translation. Nice that there's a nod to the SV-52.

ER/RC++ Project:

Mechanic: F SMS 05A: RVF-25 Messiah: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRmechanic/Fsms05ARVF-25.php

- no ER/RC on this one, just the stats block and the QF-4000 stuff. Nothing really unexpected...

History 7 03A: The Drifting City 7: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRhistory/703aDriftingCity7.php

- the sheet per se isn't that interesting, but it does underline the slow pace of Macross 7 and highlights how many of the story beats in the series aren't directly stated or shown (or if they were, how subtle they were). Thumbs up!

Posted

ER/RM++ Project:

Technology 10A: Beam Weapons: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRtechnology/10aBeamWeapons.php

- nothing too unexpected, and I really like that they clarified what the Zentraadi impact/liquid plasma guns are. (I'd like to say some of the untranslated sections look tempting, but they appear to be recycling content from other sheets).

Episodes:

M05A & B: Super Dimensional Fortress Macross Eps. 5 "Transformation": http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRepisode/M05ABeps5.php

- I was looking at the Nyan-nyan Restaurant section with some trepidation - and it turned out to be the most interesting! If you ever wanted to know what happened to Yo-chan. On a related note: does anyone remember if the original edition referenced any of the drama CDs?

Plus 02A: Macross Plus "Episode 2": http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRepisode/Plus02ABeps2.php

- some interesting stuff. Kudos for giving props to the screenplay writer!

Not specifically, no. But Yot-chan taking over Nyan-Nyan and turning it into a chain was referred to on his Character Sheet... they just didn't say what the source of that tidbit of info was. (I *think* they also mentioned that Millard was in Skull Squadron, which is a detail that comes from the Macross Classic drama album.)

Complete!

Heroine Gallery: Sheryl Nome x VF-19Kai / Kuran Kuran x VF-25G: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRheroine/HeroineGalleryMF.php#SherlNomexVF-19Kai

- The Klan Klan one was nice. The Sheryl one? Well, it certainly captures the mood of Nekki Basara.

ER/RM++ Project:

Timeline 10A: Macross, First Transformation: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRtimeline/Timeline10A.php

- basically the same partial translation as before with some tweaks, and a handful of sections that were revised in the Revised Ed.. This time, those revisions are a mixed bag. On the one hand, there are a couple of spots that are clarified. On the other hand, there are a couple of spots were information has been removed or kanji has been rendered in kana. Simplifying for the masses?

Also, those who've bought issues 1~15 can send in for the first set of Macross pin badges (subscribers have already received these).

it can not be sent to foreign countries...
