Description :

Ok-they are not 'officially official', but they are as close as you can get. You could call these two volumes, which were published in late 1982 as fan based precursors to the Macross Perfect Memory book. Each volume has an extensive art section-volume #22 covers characters, and volume #23 covers the mecha. Each volume also includes the storyboards for an episode(Countdown and Transformation are shown).

MW's Collectibility Rating
These are Graham and my personal evaluations of the item's collectibility and availability. By no means should they be considered as 'Officially Researched' data.
You are more than welcome to disagree with them.

EASY : These items are consistently on auction sites or at local anime shops at very good prices
FAIR : These items appear frequently on auction sites or at local anime shops at relatively good prices
DIFFICULT : These items rarely appear on auction sites or at local anime shops at good prices
VERY DIFFICULT : Pop up every few months. Depending on demand can far exceed expected value. Usually hard-core collectors battle it out over weird stuff like this
BEND OVER : When these appear(sometimes frequently like the 1/55 valkyries) on auction sites or at anime shops be prepared to take out a small loan
