This version and the one sold at SDCC and signed by Tenjin are the same book. Nice...thanks for confirming...I bought the book with my Amazon rewards and got it for free....it's a nice book, I really liked the Megaroad illustrations... I'll post some pics up later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I can't ever recall , but maybe someone's brain here might? Have you ever seen either of these books with an OBI ? I've seen pretty much every other Macross book with one, but never these two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 No...but can't imagine them being the only ones that didn't... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 leahLooking back I don't recall seeing on on the tv volumes either, so guess there are at least a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I've seen them on the TV volumes several times on auction...at this point it would be difficult to get a complete set of them with the OBIs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I compared my Comic Con 2023 Signed edition to the one from Amazon released last week and they are identical, could not find any differences Just noting things 'for the record' on the topic of it expecting to be different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 That is from one of the Mandarake Zenbu magazines...I have it somewhere deep in the archives Sorry cannot remember which issue off hand, but maybe a google search could turn up something Mandarake Zenbu Takatoku or something like that まんだらけZENBU タカトク マクロス this could be it https://paypayfleamarket.yahoo.co.jp/item/z246683944 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvmacross Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Super Dimension Fortress Macross Super Encyclopedia by Kodansha It's another "all" about Macross book....is it a "super" encycopedia? Not so much....but neither was the last "Macross Super Encyclopedia"...If you have kept up with some of the more recent Macross reference books, you more or less have seen most of what this book contains...there are some interesting illustrations that may or may not be original to this book, but I'd have to dig out my old DYRL and SDFM reference books (ex. This is Animation books, Gold Book, and Perfect Memory) to be sure....but sort not holding my breath...Anyways...it's a Macross book....well, it's an ALL SDFM/DYRL Macross book...is it a "must have"? IMO, not so much....you'd get a bigger bang for your book seeking out the old TIA SDFM/DYRL books, the Gold Book and the SDFM Perfect Memory... Before I forget....I'd say the biggest disappointment would have to be the laughable amount of FB2012 content....literally a half page!...seriously Kodansha? You literally hyped it up on the OBI and book description....lol Sampling of pics...enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wm cheng Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Thanks so much for your assessment @jvmacross - I would have thought the spine would be so much thicker being an all Macross Encyclopedia! I haven't seen anything I don't have already except they're all smaller. I already have all the TIA, Perfect Memory & Gold Book - now I don't feel like I'm missing out too much. Whew, wallet saved! I guess there just isn't anything new for such an old piece of art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Wow-I feel like there is definitely a lot of new never before seen line art there! Awesome Thanks for the pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowly going over the illustrations that just look new to me...some I have found in those old reference books some I have not... I have a feeling that a new Miyatake Macross book is in order...full of his previously unseen "world-building" illustrations for SDFM/DYRL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Casual Life Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) Thanks for posting JVMacross. I was sure I'd never seen that SF-3A Lancer II on a carrier illustration before. Checked all my TV books (PM, TIA x 4, Studio Nue Mechanic Design Works) and can confirm for those books anyway. This book might be worth purchasing if still available. Has anyone else seen this sketch before and where? Thanks. Edited January 20 by Space Casual Life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so...that is one that may be new...there are still some other books, booklets, DVD/BD exclusive books, that I have not looked through...but it does not look like something I have seen before....

Seto Kaiba Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 3 hours ago, Space Casual Life said: Thanks for posting JVMacross. I was sure I'd never seen that SF-3A Lancer II on a carrier illustration before. From the text on the image, that's not a Lancer II on a carrier. The caption says "Anti-aircraft gun at OX Town 3-chomei", which is apparently in the middle of a market area in Macross City. There's a note that it's a piece of tracked artillery, that it advances to the exterior of the ship through a triple airlock ahead of it, that private homes in the area are often damaged, etc. I know I've seen this picture before, but I don't think I've seen it printed quite so large in the past.

Shawn Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I've looked through the Macross EB, Studio Nue EB, TIA 1/2/3/5/6,PM/GB, Miyatake M to Org, and come up empty on that Anti Aircraft gun. I have another Miyatake book somewhere still looking (I am assuming it is a Miyatake drawing...if it is Kawamori maybe its in the Expo book or something newer)? Run across lots of hangar type pics, but not that one, or the city one to the right of it with the gerwalk. There is a diff gerwalk in the city but not that one. Its crazy to still see new art pop up after 40 years. At least I still think its new lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvmacross Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 The other places that may have some of these illustratios could be the many furokus releases during the SDFM era.... But right now I'm thinking it may be something previously unpublished... As I said before...I think it's time for a new dedicated Miyatake Macross book...
