Seto Kaiba Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 And why Yamato/Arcadia never released a VF-4 in FB2012 scheme... Arcadia included a decal sheet to add the FB2012 scheme and markings to your VF-4G if such is your desire. That's what I did with the VF-4 on my desk at work. Quote
Bariaburu Faita Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 there is no need to be angry, the Master File series is basically a high print run fanbook, a "doujinshi" its just some people putting their unofficial made up stats in a book. It does not affect true cannon. I totally agree. A non transforming VF-4 (VF being "variable fighter") is just Master File series page space filling nonsense.. in a way it makes me glad I can't read a word of Japanese as it would just piss me off to read all the other 'no thought given / spur of the moment ideas' nonsense they would have come up with.. I took out all of my Macross mecha & art books over the weekend and the VF-4 master file is definitely the worst of the lot. But still glad they actually released it. Quote

That's what I did with the VF-4 on my desk at work. You have to do alot to it to get it "right"....but I suppose if you just add the skull markings it could be a "member" of the squadron....just not Hikaru's ride.... Hoping Bandai releases a proper FB2012 VF-4, even at 1/100-ish.... Quote
valkyriepilot Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Finally got my Master File VF-4, along with the VF-22 and VF-25. These books are a treasure trove of in-universe technical info! (Please excuse the GM book, was not able to take separate pics of the Master Files before I put all away to the storage.) Quote
spanner Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 hehe! I had all my Macross related books (and others) laying all over the place on Sunday but didn't take a photo of it.. might have to take me all out again! Quote
spanner Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 seeing as this is the Master File thread.. is there a art book thread in here somewhere? I just purchased vol.1 & 2 of Macross The Ride but couldn't find the appropriate thread for it.. Quote

jvmacross Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Wonder when the VF-31 book will hit the shelves? Quote
spanner Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 Wonder when the VF-31 book will hit the shelves? hopefully soon!! Quote
Mommar Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 Wonder when the VF-31 book will hit the shelves? I can't even remember if I pre-ordered that anywhere. Quote
NZEOD Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 You wont have as it doesn't exist yet and hasn't even been proposed. We are all just dreaming out loud hoping they DO publish one. Quote
jvmacross Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 Just a waiting game at the moment. Get the Macross Delta modelling book for now and start crunching the numbers! Quote
jvmacross Posted December 9, 2016 Posted December 9, 2016 Is there a Delta modelling book? http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=29133&p=1315550 Quote
spanner Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 we should place bets on what which master file will be released next! hehe! Quote
jvmacross Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Pretty sure it would be one covering the VF-31 Quote
xssu Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 VF-31 Â Variable Fighter Master File VF-31 COMING IN March? Quote
spanner Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 OMFG! Yes!!! geez I hope this happens sooner than later! Quote

MILKAUTICO Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 This is another injustice, when will we see the best VF? I'm talking about the VF-14, VF-5000 and of course the VA-3. Quote
wm cheng Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Any HLJ links yet (Amazon.jp always kills me in shipping & customs!) Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 11 hours ago, xssu said: VF-31  Variable Fighter Master File VF-31 COMING IN March? That was inevitable... like the VF-4 book, they teased this one in a previous volume. I figured we'd be seeing this one sooner rather than later once the VF-4 book dropped and I noticed the date of publication in-universe was July 2067.  It was an unusual date for a Main VF that'd been introduced in 2012 and retired at some point in the 2040s, and that the featured squadron in the story section just happened to be flying the VF-31A in the book's present day clinched it. Kind of disappointed the book is dedicated to the VF-31改 Siegfried rather than the production-intent VF-31 Kairos... after all, there are only five Siegfrieds in service, whereas the Kairos was expected to become the next main VF of the Brisingr Alliance New UN Forces circa 2069-2070. Since the VF-31 has so little information available, I'm just left to hope it won't be another book of filler and garbage like the Variable Fighter Master File: VF-4 Lightning III book was...   11 hours ago, spanner said: OMFG! Yes!!! geez I hope this happens sooner than later! I wouldn't hold my breath... SoftBank has a bad habit of missing their announced release dates a few times before each book comes out. My money's on June, maybe July.   5 hours ago, MILKAUTICO said: This is another injustice, when will we see the best VF? I'm talking about the VF-14, VF-5000 and of course the VA-3.

Nothing as of about five minutes ago... but they probably won't commit until there's a semi-firm date. Quote
Mommar Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) FYI, the VF-31 Master File book is up at CDJapan now too.http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOBK-2054601 Â Kind of irritating about CDJapan, you can actually ship via FedEx. Â But only if you buy books, music or movies. Â Toys, nope. Â No clue why. Â However FedEx for this book is $20! Edited January 27, 2017 by Mommar Quote
no3Ljm Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Waiting for HLJ to post theirs. Hope Kairos will be featured in this book too.  Edited January 27, 2017 by no3Ljm Quote
