Okay, here's another one. What excatly is this book? Never seen it before.
-
Yes, saw it a month ago in Denver and was blown away. A word of warning, the costumes and sets are very artsy. Fortunately they pulled it all off without being pretentious. Great movie.

It's also overpriced. Those little ARII 1/170 kits are really crappy, the figures are out of scale, and I think I've seen the base used for other anime/sci-fi model series. I couldn't see it seriously going for more than $80 and thats only for completists.
-
Any clue on what this is?
This was up on the board before. Its some sort of Korean cartoon to push one of the Takatoku Valk bootlegs.

Ever come across Macross stuff online or in anime magazines that you have never seen before? I sure do, usually ona weekly basis.
Since this is Macross World and home to all the Macross collecting experts, I thought I'd start a thread for all those mysterious items that need identifying.
I'll kick it off with this mysterious Laser Disc. I know its not a 15th Anniversary TV series LD and I can't read Japanese, can someone identify it for me?

Ahhhhhh... My H. Grail: SDF Trooper's side arm! Only one other friend has it, the lucky dude.
You can always find the Dorvak or Orguss version too

My characters are Ohgr and Blaargh.
What server does everyone play COH on? I play on Guardian.

Nichimo actually came up with this color scheme. The ARII paint scheme was basically the same as the Hikaru 1J GBP Armored Valkyrie.
I always wondered what inspired Nichimo and Yoshiyuki Takani to create these unique color schemes. The VF1J Max and VF1J Millia for example have a red and blue stripe on the wings respectively. They also came up with unique GBP armor for both of them and the VF1S. I guess it was just a way to sell the same model mold many ways

1. Macross Leather Jacket
2. IMAI 1/100 Tomahawk model, DYRL box
3. Macross Arcadia video game
4. Almost anything on page 117 and 118 of TIA #3 Macross
5. Yamato 1/48 VF1A Mastercard editon
To me, most of the stuff already named is cool, expensive, and much sought after, but to me, the Holy Grails are the productions stuff that you only see in magazines or once on eBay and spend years trying to find. And usually don't find
I would not put prototypes, artwork, or animation cels in this catagory.
Oh, and your nickname is not offensive to me, SaveRobotech.

There was a time, long ago, when I was much more active on these forums and I had it as my IE home page.
Now I have my personal website page as my IE home page.

D'oh...I'm searching for a picture (I can't edit the mispelled title...). I have book called Invid Invasion somewhere but I can't find it. On the back cover of this book is a beautiful Mospeada painting of Ray & Mint (Rand & Annie) on the back of a Armo-bike (Cyclone), and in the background is a towering Legioss armo-soldier (Alpha Fighter). I have a tiny version of this picture but I'm looking for a larger image. Can anyone help me with this?
This is original Japanese art. I have seen it as a Mospeada poster and later it was re-released by Harmony Gold as a promo poster and by Comico as a full sized poster. The Japanese poster is basically the same, though I can't remember exactly where I saw it.
It was also used on the cover of Magazine for Anime and Hobby Fan: Mospeada No. 2. That cover is the only place to see the full picture with Rook and Yellow in the bottom left corner.
Okay, it was bothering me that I couldn't remember where I saw the Mospeada poster of this, but I looked where I thought I saw it and it was in the Yahoo Japan Auctions thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...hl=poster&st=20
The picture was already cropped when HG used it as a poster. The Magazine for Anime and Hobby Fan: Mospeada No. 2 is the only place to find the full picture.

Yeah good luck with that. I'm sure you won't get what its worth.
There is only one agency I have ever found that will cover my collection:
Since there are no price guides for our types of collectibles, they will insure any collectible based on the value you assign it:
From their FAQ http://www.collectinsure.com/faq.htm
Q. How do I determine the replacement value of a unique collectible?
A. You estimate the auction realization of the item if were auction off to a room filled with specialist collectors and dealers of this type collectible. We would get expert opinions from dealers and other experts on what this item would realize if it were auction to such an audience.
Experts in our hobby might be Shawn, Graham, Egan, Rob, or Noel.
Oh, and if you use Paypal, they keep a full record of all transactions you have ever made. That would be enough to cover here:
Q. How do you know I own the collectibles I claim are lost?
A. Yes, it is your responsibility to prove your loss. We have found that if you acquired some of your collectible property from dealers, auctions or similar sources you can provide proof of a reasonable sample of your purchases. A sample is what we require, not complete documentation of every purchase or acquisition. Probably our biggest advantage over other insurance providers is that since we have over 30 years experience in this specialized business, we have a good sense when additional documentation is needed to prove a loss.

If you want the full scoop on all the Takatoku releases, read this awesome article from Toybox DX
http://www.toyboxdx.com/data/takatoku2/takatoku2.html
Don't forget, there's 3 pages of toys

Mine came with a Destroid Spartan, a Battroid VF1J, and a Regult
-
I've seen them anywhere from $ 40 to $75 on eBay

It comes with Macross eraser toys. It comes with a couple large ones and a bunch of small ones
You can chew on 'em like gum I guess...
It was made by Takatoku in 1982/83
-
Okay, way off here. This kit is 1/100 and is non-variable.
ARII made the 1/100 Variable kits that Bandai also acquired. Bandai re-released them in 1985.
