sketchley Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Good question. I don't have the answer, but Google brings up some pages with additional info (in Japanese): http://www.ms-plus.com/75492 and a bigger pict of the cover: http://samada08.blog10.fc2.com/blog-entry-2346.html It appears that it's planning to be released on May 12.

S Old news! http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/30860-macross-general-scoopuda-thread/?do=findComment&comment=1338949 Pre-ordered already..... This one also.....should have it soon.... https://hlj.com/product/HBJ61424 Quote
seti88 Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 why isn't HLJ carrying the Model Graphix Macross Archives Magazine? Cant find the HLJ link for this... Quote
jvmacross Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 I couldn't find it....maybe closer to release date? Quote
VF-1A Grunt Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 I just got the Star Wars Modeling Archive from HLJ. I hope they list the Macross one soon, as I'd prefer to order it from them. They're really great to deal with - I wish I'd learned about them sooner than just a year or so ago. Quote
Shawn Posted May 13, 2017 Author Posted May 13, 2017 Starting to appear on YJ https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/q157164980 gotta get one! Quote
peter Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) I've been looking in all the local Tsutayas for this book, but no luck so far....may have to jist order it, but would have been nice to flip through it first. Edited May 16, 2017 by peter Quote
Shawn Posted May 17, 2017 Author Posted May 17, 2017 Anyone get this yet? Curious as to what is inside. Thanks! Shawn Quote
seti88 Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 Still waiting for HLJ to list the bloody thing... Quote
peter Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Had no luck finding it. Screw it, just going to order it from Amazon.co.jp Quote

Shawn You probably have all the older Model Graphix where the pics in this book come from.... The book basically collects all the Macross kit builds showcased on Model Graphix throughout the years.... Here is a sampling.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/29133-macross-books/?do=findComment&comment=1341164 Quote
peter Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) Got mine yesterday. If I had a chance to flip through it in advance, I probably would not buy it for 4,000 yen. Got it for the cover, was hoping it would have more SDF and DYRL stuff, but had a lot of other junk I wasn't interested in. As was cited earlier, I already had a lot of the Model Graphix issues with models I was interested in. Edited May 23, 2017 by peter Quote

I spent a buncha money on a book that had stuff that was a compilation of stuff I already had. Quote
Falcon Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Think it's more for people like me that didn't have a chance to get all the Model Graphix issues of the past that were around. This is a neat way of getting them all in one book as opposed to hunting for several issues. I'm happy I bought it. Quote
sh9000 Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 I'm happy I bought the book too. Thanks to jvmacross for letting us know about it. Quote

Probably would have picked up a used copy for under 1,000 yen. Quote
Gabe Q Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 It's definitely a must buy if you don't have very many of the back issues. There are lots of really nice images in there. Quote
jvmacross Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 For anyone still on the fence....and doesn't mind used.... https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1065685724&ref=list https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1064716717&ref=dos Sample pics.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/29133-macross-books/?do=findComment&comment=1341164 Quote
KOG Water Dragon Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 I just picked up a copy at my local Kinokuniya. $67 + tax. I probably could have waited and found it cheaper online but I was there and it was calling to me... I don't have any of the older Model Graphix from which these builds were pulled, so I'm OK with it. There's a few in there I'd never seen before. Quote
