Got my HMR Mook today...very nice Macross coverage inside! All the new stuff, and they also do the original Strike/VE/VT/1990 series VF-1s too!
Great pictures and details about all the above
And there is a giant 2 page dedication on the Genocide Valkyrie, loaded with all sorts of pictures and details

Get this book!! :)

No....the pics used are basically the promo pics used in each of their individual releases, including some of the diorama-type promo pics....

What magazine issue  is that pic from?

I'm not sure but I'd like to get that magazine issue to get a clearer pic.  The pic was originally posted in the HMR thread.

Must be one of the toy mags....the pic on the left seems to show the HMR Defender.....so maybe a 2017 Figure King issue?

Let me know if you find out what magazine issue it's from.

Cool.  Ordered from both stores.  I'll keep the one that arrives in better condition and return the other back to Amazon.  I hope they don't get shipped in bubble envelopes.

Amazon's US shipping for hardcover books has been hit or miss for me...

Its hard to not be bitter about them choosing to cut the proverbial baby in half..., but there could be new art in here to appreciate...I don't remember if the vf-4 was in his sortie #3 Suspect the vf-0s HMR will be in the new book too.
I'll be getting it to show Tenjin some support even though it misses out my personal favorites...that being the original TV/Movie art.
The entire splitting of the license is so damn silly, I hope in time they can figure out a joint license release option.. Baby steps I suppose.

The HMR VF-4 illustration did not make it onto the Third Sortie....

Definitely getting the book to support more books in the future...maybe it may even lead to WWM releases...maybe Tenjin's Fourth Sortie?

If anything, it will be nice to have several of the Macross Chronicle illustrations collected into one book
