  1. So is it now it is being sold as a BlackAces Mac Z 1/72 Tomcat “Shin Special” Custom Diecast Metal Collectors’ Model?....so that should make it all better now...Problem solved! Now it is no different than any of the "fan made" Macross collectibles and "garage kits" being sold on this very site by other members who never get accused of committing crimes against BW's IP.... https://www.facebook.com/shinblackaces/
  2. I'll take your word for it...have not really used it much for a while other than for misc old ARII/IMAI booklets and vintage anime mags as of late. I'll have to check out Bing's translation resource, I haven't really done research for anything else that may be out there. But, yes...the keyword is indeed FREE....
  3. Perhaps I missed something?....explain please. All I know of the prior relationship between CalWings and BW was via Wonderfest and those special WF releases received licenses otherwise they wouldn't have been at WF.
  4. Looks like the Kawamori Designer's Note book is now available via AmiAmi....7480 JPY https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?scode=MED-BOOK-016616
  5. Very nice poster. One of the more unusual ones from the SDFM/DYRL era.
  6. Lots of info there just don't get stuck on the few words "lost in translation"...I assume you can figure out what the correct term is based on the context of text, pics, etc. I find the more technical words or "Macross-specific" stuff get the machine translator confused. Google Translate gets better all the time and it is infinitely better than being completely in the dark or hoping for fan translations.
  7. Better than waiting around for official translations that will never come. Google translate is a great tool.
  8. Cool...this thing looks ready for takeoff! Can't wait to get mine! Hopefully they do a nice plain box like with their WF releases... Thanks for posting!
  9. Nah......if AutoArt can release a NOT Mad Max Interceptor......Calibre Wings can release a NOT M0 F-14....BW had nothing to lose with granting the license, now it will lose just a few bucks....so they probably weren't going to make much money on a license so they didn't care either way as long as they did not appear to be dealing with an associate of HG I suppose.....seems petty to me and not in-line with their supposed concern for the fans...
  10. Thanks...knew I had seen it...I think the minmay from that magazine story looks pretty nice Thanks....I am thinking they would look good framed all in a row
  11. I think I have some from that sequence too!
  12. I could have sworn there was another Hirano illustration listed on YJA....the one on the top right-hand corner of the pic below...now I can't find it...did it sell?
  13. Yes, the Google Translate tool keeps getting better all the time....bests the olden days of having no idea what was written...lol
  14. Sure is....now where can we get some at retail?
  15. One of 10 lottery exclusive Bandai Platinum Club "crushed" head DYRL VF-1S Focker Specials!
  16. That's a negative in my book....they probably either could not get the 1/60 license or figured collectors may not have been too eager to "double-dipped" on another 1/60 VF-1.....yet! So they went the Yamato route..........go big, grab the cash, then shrink it later....and then double-dip on our cash!
  17. The Bandai price point is way too low......it is worth more than the MSRP.....they just need to price it accordingly......no one is out there trying buy out VF-0D's on PO day.... I am thinking $250-ish would "hold the line" on first day scalping....oh and pay up front would go along way...
  18. It's one of those 6....have not had a chance to check, but I remeber the funky yellow and pink background..... Wasn't there another one of those same minmay wedding cels sold recently? Or just another in the sequence?
  19. Those for $700+? Have at it!
  20. Hikaru TV cel.................56,000 JPY https://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auction/item/itemInfoEn.html?index=633386 Minmay TV cel.................25,000 JPY https://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auction/item/itemInfoEn.html?index=633387 VF-1J Hanken Cel................60,000 JPY https://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auction/item/itemInfoEn.html?index=633388 I am 99.99999% sure this hanken was used in one of these...
  21. In terms of Macross, Takani is mostly associated with the original model kit boxart from the SDFM series and a few from Macross7...Suzuki would be the other major illustrator for Macross model kit boxart....Masami also did some boxart I believe for DYRL kits and other collectibles... Yes, I am sure there are other illustrations created by Kawamori that are related to his non-Macross works....but I am not that familiar with his non-Macross works...
  22. Some additional cels going on live today on Mandarake....they seem to be going high too
