I haven't seen the macross book (that was just won on ebay), but of the other ones, the one I liked the best was: Book of Valkyries: Tenjin Hidetaka Art Works of Macross. It's color art and really beautiful.

The masterpiece ones are awesome and much smaller, I keep them on display in their boxes and never take them out. The yamato boxes are beautiful, but not the display peices the masterpiece ones are. Given their playability, I think I'm glad Yamatos beg to be taken out and masterpieces are the ones you want to keep in the box.
