  1. OK THAT is a new one!!! If you watch the video in the thread above, it is in ENGLISH If you click it and watching on Youtube directly, it is in Japanese. Apparently there is now an auto-dub option? What a crazy world we are living in
  2. I might beg to differ a bit on the comment in that page regarding the weird detailing "Looking closely, the details are a bit crude and sloppy , but in a way, it's typical of 1980s robots. " Look at the Mospeada cutaways recently posted, or the strike valk poster in the gold book or the other Macross cutaways...the details are far from crude and sloppy in my opinion. Maybe wing flaps/spoilers/slats would be too fragile for handling something so large and bulky, since the wing edges are naturally something you'd granb onto, so they needed to add something interesting for the large wing areas, and came up with the split in half. Its definitely unique. And yes I will still buy one of these even if I find their choice of detailing odd.
  3. Found the Demo disc in a box! Broke out my Sega Saturn and my ST Key cartridge and the thing booted right up. Search Flash SegaSaturn Vol 16 https://archive.org/download/sega_saturn It falls from the sky, lands, then does some jumping around and crouching while trying to blast you. I guess they thought the legs were not spacy enough so they ditched it for the jets Cool! Here is the side by side comparison. Look at the bottom pic, then bottom center. That variant looks to be pulled direct for this.
  4. So Soft Cup Jam is Ice Cream? Never heard of it so good to know
  5. If you send in 2 lids of Sonton Jam , you could enter a contest that ran for 4 months, where they gave away 1000 Valkryies a month It doesn't explicitly say which valkyrie product is the prize, aside from saying it has 3 modes, but I would assume its a Takatoku 1/55 VF-1S, since it uses that artwork. I wonder if any custom outer mailing packaging was ever done for these 4000 units, but I've never seen anything.
  6. Just like the Macross DYRL Discount smaller handouts that you could bring to a theater to get a discount (pic below), there were larger Flyers available as well I've collected a few variants with unique theater names on the back of each, because it was fun tracking them down and they sell for cheap on the auction sites. (couple bucks each so its quite affordable)
  7. Finally available-Reserve your Vol 1 & Vol 2 of Macross TV episodes on VHS or Beta! LOOK at the price...12800 yen for 50 minute video cassette. That would be equivalent to 18000 yen in today's time. Wow! Pre-Release bonus is a Macross Fashion Bag. Another bonus item to track down.
  8. Preorder your Macross Vol II Album or Cassette, with 20 new songs! PLUS get a free NEW and Original design Kawamori poster for the pre-order! What poster would this be? It would be a Kawamori penned poster from Victor. I know there are lots of Mikimoto ones. Any ideas?
  9. Arii mini Factory flyer They pack a lot of extra detail in those factory images!
  10. Guess I should not have said 'new flyers' thread but 'flyers thread' in general ok...so no long posters, but B5 ish size items, I can work with that. Some don't have anything on the other side, but they are still a flyer like this
  11. I was hesitant to create a new flyers thread, and could fold things back in, but where would some of the misc promo flyers go There are misc event flyers, game flyers, model flyer etc Any thoughts?
  12. This one is an advertisement in Variety Magazine from 1984....super curious about what MIFED is and what they were doing with this title.
  13. Macross Cards Flyer Scramble Valkyrie Nintendo Flyer
  14. Wow-great memory on that! Now I really want to find that Sega Saturn Promo disc!! Says they are Zentradi walking tanks...sort of like Macross Universe AT-ATs
  15. I found a handful of Macross item flyers, and some misc Promotion items, so figured I'd put a placeholder here. Here is one of the Misc items...a Sega Saturn promo sleeve for the 'upcoming' at the time DYRL game (1997) It would be displayed in a plastic cd case and placed on the shelf to excite you for what was coming down the road. If you zoom real in real close on the game pics shown on the back, you can see the final boss for the 1st stage, which at the time had GLAUG LEGS! In the final release for the game, it was changed to a flying boss. In one of the Sega Saturn Gama magazines around the time (1997) there was an included game disc, which was a common practice at the time for people to preview the upcoming games. The promo disc had stage 1 of the Macross game as a preview, and in that version you can actually play against the Glaug footed version shown above! I've got the disc and magazine squirreled away somewhere....when I find it I'll include a pic of what issue it was from. I remember playing it and going 'What the heck is this!??' (I got the magazine a few years AFTER the game was released)
