You should have no issues getting the rest of them....These are all easily available via YJA, Mandarake and several doujin book sites... Ugh, I should've been clearer in my editing. It's ordered from someone that gets them. It's preordered and will be enroute, LOL. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd take some time to picture all the books, mooks, and so on, but at the same time, since 99% of them are probably already documented online, I don't see a reason to. Nevertheless, it's cool to look inside of many of these from time to time. I should probably do the same with all 100+ posters I have, but same dilema.

jvmacross Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Is it wrong to be more interested in the 84 page appendix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 It will be 4 pages of vf-1(2 tv, 2 dyrl) and 80 pages of frontier and delta CG valks 😛 They always put the vf-1 stuff on the cover to hook you lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 After all these years...it's still the VF-1 that symbolizes the franchise.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_foul_fowl Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I guess the same could be said for many franchises? RX-78-2 for Gundam to X-wings and TIEs for Star Wars. Thanks for the headsup on HJ! Btw, is Perfect Memory still good buy if I already have Macross Chronicles and the Macross Designers Notes? Just wondering if the material in Perfect Memory has already been reproduced in some form or other in reference materials. That said, SDF Macross is still my favorite part of the franchise, so more materials are never a bad thing 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_foul_fowl Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Nice! Time to get myself a copy. 😬 I think the appeal of the VF-1 is also how it’s based off the F-14 which was probably one of the coolest fighters in the 80s, in no small part to Top Gun. Have always wondered how well the more modern designs from the VF-25 to 31 would resonate with those who’ve never experienced Macross before. Is the appeal of the VF-1 really evergreen or is it colored by our nostalgic lenses? 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Not to derail the "book" thread any further, but hopefully with Disney's involvement....Macross (w/o the original series and film) can get enough "buzz" to help Macross gain enough visibility and interest outside of Japan and gain some ground on decades of lost opportunity....personally, I don't see how the series can "start" with Macross 7 and keep anyone new to the franchise interested to continue on with the rest of the shows....but that's just me being a complete SDFM/DYRL elitist...LOL To me, it would be like introducing Star Wars to a whole new audience, but without the OT....and you start out with the ST to kick off the Star Wars franchise and hope it keeps viewers wanting more of it...
