Comico didnt actually cut that part of the image out, they used an existing Japanese poster that already had that portion of the image covered Here's a large scan of the original image:

The third LCD handheld is the Save The ARMD-1 game. I actually dont have one of these and have never seen one for auction. Maybe because they were only released in Japan as is evident by the Japanese packaging. I would probably put this game at $70 - $80. (I'm probably shooting myself in the foot as someone is going to read this and I'll have to pay that much). It was obviously released during or after DYRL. I wouldn't say its a stretch to say that the game may have been developed by Takatoku Toys and Bandai acquired and released it. I'm using the pics here on MW, but I will pull the first two games out of storage next time I run across them and get some higher rez pics.

The second most common is the Macross Spaceflight game. This one actually has Takatoku Toys written on the box. It also features international packaging. Both of these games are fairly easy to find still in their original boxes, though I do think Macross II is more common. MW estimates the value of Macross II at about $40, and I'd say both of these are still around that price range. I have never seen either of these games in a Japanese box.

This is based on my own personal experinces mind you, but I'll take a stab at it. The most common handheld game in mmy experience is the Macross II Spaceflight game. The most interesting thing about this game is that the box and instructions are in English and so was intended for the international market. My box also has a Tatsunoko sticker, which we know means that this item was intended for distribution outside of Japan (part of the Tatsunoko/Big West agreement). Though the game is an obvious sequel to the Takatoku Toys Macross II Spaceflight game, the intructions say "Distributed By Income Trading Co." (lower right) My "theory" is that the game was acquired during Takatoku's bankruptcy and resold for profit on the international market. This is supported by the fact that the game console itself uses a "movie" design (the Valk display from DYRL) and we know that TT had DYRL products in development when they folded.

Thanks to EXO for re-opening this thread (on the condition that we go back to the topic of posting line art). Just to remind everyone, there's a lot of people who have been posting line art in this thread over the last year and we would hate to see our work go away into archive obscurity. Thanks for understanding. Some drama free line art from the Columbia Mospeada DVD releases:

I have hat deck, but onfortunately I believe them to be bootleged. There is no copyright and there is no BW sticker on them. Mine even came in a non-descrept plastic case. There was also a Macross II deck released at the same time. The confusing thing about them is how nicely produced they are. The only legitimate 52 card playing decks I know of are two or three decks put out by company called Amada of mini playing cards and a furoku deck put out by Animage magazine of full sized playing cards featuring Macross TV illustrations by HAL. There was also a goofy pyramid card set for Macross 7. I can post some pics of all eventually when I come across them

Speaking of good Numan covers, Marilyn Manson's cover of Down In The Park is one of the greatest. It even inspired Gary Numan to make a more updated "gothy" version. And I am not even a MM fan I see in your sig you like VAST, good band, never got into the third album though. The wife and I caught them live long time ago. Fun show.

Maybe there are two different prototypes here?
