Seto Kaiba 1,173 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Hi gents, The Macross Mecha Manual is looking to grow its reference library in preparation for its next update, and our proxy buyers haven't been able to find a couple publications that Mr March and I are looking for. So we're turning to the MacrossWorld community for an inside track! We're looking for the following books and dojinshi (preferably in as close to mint condition as humanly possible) This is Animation: Macross Dynamite 7 Animation Materials (1 copy) Macross Journal Extra: VF-1 Valkyrie Special Edition (1 copy) The artbook from Shoji Kawamori's THE TRANSFORMATION exhibit (the one with the white cover, 2 copies) The recent Macross ships dojinshi ＦＡＮＫＹ企画 銀河の戦艦 (Vol.1) (2 copies) We welcome buying from fans who already have the books, as well as fans in Japan who may be willing to proxy buy on our behalf! Thank you for helping us grow the Mecha Manual's reference library! EDIT: Updated list, we found one copy of the MAT book but might be interested in a second if anyone can locate one available for international sale. EDIT 2: Obtained copies of the 2nd volume of the ships dojinshi, still looking for 2 copies of the 1st volume. Special thanks to Hayato-san for his generosity and time.

Falcon 7 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The artbook from Shoji Kawamori's THE TRANSFORMATION exhibit (the one with the white cover, 2 copies) Are you asking for 2 copies of the same or that there were 2 different copies? I was always under the impression that there was only one... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was always under the impression that there was only one... There were two books (booklets?) released for the Kawamori exhibit... I already have a copy of one of them, but need the other, and Mr March is only interested in the white book because that has Macross line art we need/want (while the black book is of purely casual interest).

I don't think I've seen the black one. Would love to see that one in the future- wonder what's on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jvmacross 1,426 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 This is the black book Seto was referring to... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=29133&p=1055697 However, it was not a companion book to the recent Kawamori exhibit. Only one released in conjunction with the Transformation exhibit was this one... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=29133&p=1251196 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seto Kaiba 1,173 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Okay, so while we were shopping Mandarake in the hopes of finding these books we came upon something else we were looking for... so it's not at total loss I guess? Struck out there, and Yahoo! Japan auctions with the items we want won't ship internationally... so we could really do with a volunteer proxy buyer if any fans in Japan wants to earn a lovely commission for their assistance. Mr March also put out a public appeal for help finding some of these books on the Mecha Manual's facebook page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jvmacross 1,426 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Congrats on the D7 book....I think the seller has been relisting it for the past 4 years.....you made his year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seto Kaiba 1,173 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Congrats on the D7 book....I think the seller has been relisting it for the past 4 years.....you made his year! You think the seller's happy, you should see Mr March. He's positively giddy with anticipation for that and the half-dozen other books we're getting already. If we could track down Animex 23, the first volume of the FANKY Planning Battleships of the Galaxy Macross dojinshi, and the Kawamori exhibit book I think he'd fairly explode from the excitement.

Seto Kaiba 1,173 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Bump, because we're still looking for several of these books. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
