Galaxy_Stranger Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Not sure if this is the appropriate forum, but here goes. I've been picking up some of the Macross Master File books lately. I'm not really familiar with the history of that publication, but I was curious to find out how many of them have been published. So far, I know of the following: VF-0 Phoenix SDF-1 Macross Squadrons VF-1 Valkyrie Part 1 VF-1 Valkyrie Part 2 VF-19 Excalibur VF-22 SturmVögel II VF-25 Messiah Are there any more planned? Quote
jvmacross Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 So far that is it...in terms of editions dedicated to primarily one VF.... There is another one that was just released, but it is more of an illustrated story of sorts.....the thread for that on is here.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=42387 I would say this is not the appropriate forum...as this is mostly a place to post "collections" of different things in various categories...for example, there is a dedicated "books" topic within the collectors forum....but it is mostly to post pics and not much discussion.....but this topic would perhaps have been the best place to "ask" about what is available.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=29133 ...but "discussions" about books would probably get more visibility in the general Macross forums...here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showforum=2 Quote
Galaxy_Stranger Posted April 25, 2015 Author Posted April 25, 2015 On page 108 in the VF-1 Master File Part 2, there's an image of another Master File book, which has the following printed: VF-4 Lightning III VF-3000 Crusader VF-5000 Starmirage Anyone know where I can get a hold of this? Can't find it on Amazon. Quote
jvmacross Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Has not been released....not sure if it will Quote
spanner Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 picked these two up from CDJ.. had a whole bunch of rewards points to use before they expired which made them less than half price! Quote
spanner Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Thanks mate! I wonder when Vol2 of thr episode archives will release!? Quote
jvmacross Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Not sure....if their past releases are any indication....they could announce a date tomorrow and easily break it 3 times over before it actually hits the shelves... Quote
spanner Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Well i hope they do keep releasing more of the Master File series! An english version would be nice too! Quote
spanner Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 I did have a link somewhere to a page that some guy had been slowly translating the Master Files.. not sure if it was on the MWF or somewhere else..? Can't find where I bookmarked it now.. Quote
jvmacross Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Was it Sketchley's Translations site? http://www.mtranslation.host-ed.me/OTvfmf/OTvfmf.php Quote
spanner Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 ahhh yes thats it! thanks for posting this up! have now saved the link! Quote
sketchley Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 ahhh yes thats it! thanks for posting this up! have now saved the link! You can always look it up from my signature. Quote
jvmacross Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 your translations are always appreciated....thanks! Will you start up an Episode Archives section? Quote
sketchley Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 your translations are always appreciated....thanks! Will you start up an Episode Archives section? Prolly not. Right now, aside from finishing off a bit more of the books I've already started, I'm only considering taking a stab at a few sections in the VFMF: VF Modelling Manual. Quote
spanner Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Prolly not. Right now, aside from finishing off a bit more of the books I've already started, I'm only considering taking a stab at a few sections in the VFMF: VF Modelling Manual. You've done a fine job with the others so far! makes very interesting reading! Thanks again for that! oh and what is monkey bacon? Quote
spanner Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) so has there been any word on another Master File release? I think most will agree we do still need books covering the VF-4, VF-3000 & 5000, VF-9, VF-11, VF-17/171, YF-30, SV-51 & 52. or a Master File on all the different Mecha! But I'd still prefer books on the Valkyries. Edited October 20, 2015 by spanner76 Quote
jvmacross Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 For sure there will be more....I'm thinking something from MD next! Quote
spanner Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I certainly hope so! MD would be nice but I'll take anything! Quote

spanner Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Cant wait! Will be interesting to see what other VF-4 variants they conjure up! Quote
slide Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Cant wait! Will be interesting to see what other VF-4 variants they conjure up! I'm wanting to see a 2-seater, and what their idea of FAST Packs for the VF-4 are... I like these ones. Wonder if they'll put in a VE-4... Edited July 6, 2016 by slide Quote
jvmacross Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Hopefully it'll come out when they say it will...it would be a first I think.... Quote
wmkjr Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) Deleted. Wrong section. Edited July 30, 2016 by wmkjr Quote

Wonder if they'll put in a VE-4... yeah will be interesting to see other variants and or modifications but a two seater I'd imagine would be a similar case to the VF-1D with only a slight lengthening of the cockpit to accommodate a second seat.. looking at the VF-4 design it doesn't really allow much room for a larger cockpit due to the transformation. Then again I could be wrong.. Quote
