  1. Sorry no new book. But lots of merch, as well as leftover merch from previous events.
  2. that should not be an issue. many many people outside of japan, buy things from japan on this forum. proxy buyers are one way.
  3. Just got back from Nagoya. Its mostly the same as the first one in Takarazuka but with some changes. One of the few negative changes was that the timeline shown at the entrance ends at 2059, instead of going to 2090 in the Macross II era. I might actually be partially to blame for this. At the first Macross Museum talkshow, I asked Director Kawamori how a museum that is set in 2060 could know about something 30 years in the future. The 1/1 scale cockpit is back, and has improved detailing and weathering. But if you buy a photograph of it for 1,500yen, they photoshop it to look like whichever model you want, brand spanking new with no weathering. The other displays are mostly the same. The new section is for the Delta characters and a 3D printed hand painted prototype of the VF-31.
  4. if you have a proxy buyer in japan, which should be very easy to find, here are some links to book 0 and 2. http://www.toranoana.jp/mailorder/article/04/0030/21/70/040030217075.html http://www.toranoana.jp/mailorder/article/04/0030/36/38/040030363800.html
  5. All but the DYRL SDF-1 cover one are in stock at original retail price at various dojin stores here. You could probably even find that one if you look hard enough.
  6. the one with the front and side profile of the SDFM SDF-1 on cover was published August 2014 (in print) 超時空要塞マクロスシリーズ異伝 統合軍史 the DYRL SDF-1 on cover, published December 2014 (out of print) 銀河の戦艦 第1集 統合軍の艦艇(1) the New Macross on cover, published December 2015 (in print) 銀河の戦艦 第2集 統合軍の艦艇(2) which are you missing?
  7. And Rising Sun Empire has done dojin focusing on enemy mecha, for the other series that he does.
  8. Romancer is one of my favorite Dojins to collect. Very difficult to find his early stuff though.
  9. oh the irony, using a teenage harem porn game as an example of gritty military action.
  10. Yes, which results in frustrations like destroyers the same size as battleships.
  11. From what I have seen, the official date is Autumn 2016. But if you have any experience buying Macross toys you know the size of the grain of salt you need to take with that.
  12. Most of those, are good points. One thing I disagree with, it that the implication that the emphasis on song being a flaw of Macross. As stated by Producer Kawamori himself, the 3 essential pillars of Macross is Music, Love Triangles, and Variable Fighters. To dislike Macross because of the emphasis on songs, is to dislike something that is part of the essential core of what makes macross macross. BTW, I like Macross Toys too. Do you like the Delta toys that have been released so far?
  13. This is just my opinion. But I believe a fan is someone who supports their hometown sports team even when they have a bad season. When everyone else has switched over to supporting the team that is winning, he supports and encourages his home team. Even when they make bad plays, and have some players that are not likable. He is loyal and supports them through thick and thin.
  14. I apologize to anyone offended by my positive opinion on Delta. Having a negative opinion is perfectly within everyone's rights, Ok I think its time out time.
  15. Do you believe a majority of people posting here dislike Delta? currently the percentage is 54.55% positive 24.03% negative.
  16. I have to say im pleasantly surprised as to how many people like Delta here. I was expecting more people to dislike the magical girl aspect.
  17. Its worse than that, in the interviews Kawamori has stated that he fully intents to have large shifts in tone.
  18. The threshold of what is considered strange here in Japan is a bit further than what most westerners would consider strange. Delta is far below that threshold.
  19. Excellent! I was afraid you would be one of the minority standouts who would not enjoy it. As the saying goes there is more where that came from. While there is no anime to watch of that doujinshi, there is a biannual event where fans of Golgo13(as well as other characters) who like to cosplay as magical girls can meet. The popularity of this genre may help people to understand how Macross Delta can combine elements that are considered masculine with elements that are considered feminine.
  20. Something that we have been assuming is that the superhuman feats we saw them doing was due to a suit. A simpler reason may be that they ARE superhuman. Be it cyborg enhancements, or genetic modification, or alien crossbreed.
  21. its an example of how to fuse 2 diametrically opposed themes. in the various interviews Kawamori has stated how he wants to include serious combat scenes that were plus like, and silly cute scenes like from seven.
  22. if they are based on the YF-25 airframe, they would have the EX-gear as the default controls, even the throttle and joystick is a part of it. so you couldnt easily get rid of it. They just dont need it if they are not in the fighter. The conjectual EX-gear they wear would have to be even thinner than previously thought, maybe nanotech cloth instead of metal exoskeleton.
