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.

So Soft Cup Jam is Ice Cream? Never heard of it so good to know

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.

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)

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.

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?

Arii mini Factory flyer They pack a lot of extra detail in those factory images!

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

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?

This one is an advertisement in Variety Magazine from 1984....super curious about what MIFED is and what they were doing with this title.

Macross Cards Flyer Scramble Valkyrie Nintendo Flyer

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

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)

I have no clue, the forums with the last update we did seems funky sometimes with the attachments. Some were even disappearing then reappearing. I think they introduced a new bug, but I can't roll back to the old, they don't allow it. Hopefully they will provide another patch, I'll see on the support forums if anyone else sees these attachment issues Please go ahead and fix whatever you need to fix , the screenshots are all I need.

I definitely agree with you, I prefer the red-colored lasers more than they gray Takatoku chose. There is lots of precedence for colored lasers as well...at least from Takani and Suzuki and other artists.

Picked up a Takatoku catalog (the standard one from 1983) recently and was looking at the items inside-saw the VF-1A and took a closer look, and it's definitely a pre-production item (left from catalog, right is the takatoku prod version) Neat! At the bottom of the cover page they mention some of the items in the catalog are made of wood, and may not reflect the actual production items.

FYI Fixed a bunch of missing pics on the bottom of page 2 and 3 by grabbing them from the wayback machine (the comparison pics)

Did we do landing gear release tab color differences yet? We probably did, sure we did.

ok services restarted, let me know if stuff is missing!

I saw that happen as well...then stuff just reappeared I'll reboot the server tonight to see if it flushes out whatever is going on. We did a forums update last week, but did not restart the services S

Was the Kakizaki a limited release? Agreed it is insanely hard to find at anything less than $90 (best price I could find anywhere, but can't justify that)

I thought it was Military Operation Soldier Protection Emergency Aviation Dive "Armor" not "Auto"....did it change at some point? Or just a goof? and if curious for the version with the missiles it says 'exclusive' on the front of the box (auction pic) The back says Robotech?? This must be international boxing once size fits all. The old Legioss didn't say Robotech.

That is amazing work, and is a perfect match

Carefully peeled back 20x of the stickers and NO WINNERS found...I'd sure love to see what a winning one looks like Some of them (like the ones on top) were crooked, so I know the prev owner of these already peeked
