I just went through all the pages and documented what I'm missing 2 sketchbooks(will be difficult to find for <$100) 1 binder(stupid hair variant) 1 notebook(surprised I don't have it) 1 memo book(the rarest I think, never saw it before) 1 SD Macross Notebook( I only saw 1 time on Mercari years ago. It looked similar to the SD Macross Shita) 1 coloring book with weird VF-1J They really really really milked this franchise on goods 😛

I'll keep my eyes peeled, but I think I sold my extras at the SDCon last year

Ping!

Mentioned it before, we just have time on our side, and finding the cheap stuff like notebooks is sometimes harder than the expensive stuff If one sees a macross notepad in a drawer that you don't want, are you going to spend any effort in trying to sell it to make perhaps $5 Nah-you just close the drawer. You have a takatoku though, now you have $200 All the paper stuff like flyers and stuff get infinitely harder to find as time passes as its just not worth the effort to recover a couple hundred yen, if that.

anyone post the art file yet? I don't see it here Can do tomorrow, but here is the flyer

gift set flyer

I heeard someone who tried one of the Macross kites I had sold at a prior con, and he said it broke and didn't make it long at all, so the rockets were a good idea.

Congratulations on that find! It is for some reason stupidly rare, like 2x ever, where the Macross 82 MBS has shown up half a dozen times Will never understand the rarity, but one more checked off! Great effort.

found the stationary/binder/paper bin...pretty sure all these have been posted, but now I can have my stuff in one post so I know what to search for next 😛 first are the notepads, then the soft folders/paperback cover, then the hard folders, then coloring books front/back or back/front, sometimes I don't even know some late minute grabs

At least 2! Plus the ones in the magazines/books showing them off 😛

Found a flyer for the puzzles

Not sure if posted before, blank drawing pad

I've actually HAD dreams where I stumble across a new Imai Macross model I've not seen before...got the same feeling right now when I saw your post of this Too funny!!

oh yeah...the variant! How could I forget!

I pulled one of the the sound planes out and put it in front of a room fan on high, and it makes the noise from the commercials, which I thought was funny.

Would be very cool to see some pre-production art included in the release

This is insane! Thank you the updates, I'm enjoying seeing this build progress!

Definitely appreciate any assistance in spreading the word I tried this page in the other inquiries 2x, no luck, maybe its the wrong section. https://hobbyjapan.co.jp/contact/index.html

Hi @SteveTheFish, and welcome to the forums. I have had ZERO luck contacting them via their contact page, I'm sure I'm being screened as spam or just being in the wrong language. I have every issue of HJ Vintage! Its my favorite current magazine, as my brain never left the 80's/90s' If you have ANY possible contact to get through please please engage with them. I know there are model crazies like me in Japan who love seeing 40 year old shipping cases from Imai. Just need to break through the contact barrier. If they would like to do a interest article on it Anthony and Vic will surely love to do what is possible to make it happen. Let us know if you are able to get through the hurdle! Shawn

thanks for the links...order placed!

Just reminding people of the great multi-kit sets that are up for sale! https://www.ebay.com/str/wiseguyshobbiesllc
