I think at least 90% I've never seen before. And if you like Galvion art, there is stuff in here too which isn't even in that Galvion book released a while ago. Go buy this-its cheap and very cool I had been sitting on buying this book, but thanks to samples of photos you posted, I have it coming in today or tomorrow. I'm excited to get this.

jvmacross Posted May 18 Posted May 18 another 'model kit' book....kind of a stretch to call it an art book, unless it will also include the lineart drawings and illustrations....
jvmacross Posted May 21 Posted May 21 Nice...so more diorama style pics, than the usual boring static poses....
Superelello Posted June 1 Posted June 1 Hello, how are you? Question if someone knows how to answer me I didn't know this illustration by Makoto Kobayashi. Do you know which magazine or artbook it belongs to? It looks like it came out of one of these because in the photo you can clearly see that it was cut irregularly. The image was taken from Yahoo Auctions. https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r1186211970 Thank you very much.

As far as I know, Makoto Kobayashi's only involvement with Macross was supporting development of Arii's plamodel line. Given the rough print quality, I'd assume it's from one of his self-published works.

It is very possible that this is the case Thank you very much
jvmacross Posted June 7 Posted June 7 The shipping costs are too high now on single book purchases....not particularly interested in the model books though, but need to order 3 or more to justify the shipping expense
PixelatedShinobi Posted June 28 Posted June 28 Got a very nice assortment of artbooks, manga, and LNs today! At some point in the future, I'd love to scan some of this, the 30 artbook and Nyan Dora especially. Alto Meets Sky is gorgeous enough that it /has/ to be shared. Unfortunately, I don't have proper scanning equipment, and I'd also ideally like to find second copies of them to take apart. For now, they'll be personal treasures. I'm very excited to have a copy of Wired Warrior, included in the short story collections!

Jasonc Posted August 15 Posted August 15 Is that a compilation book of all the comics? If so, while I have the comics, this would be a great grab to go through them in one book.
Chas Posted September 18 Posted September 18 Description from HobbySearch: The phantom comic adaptation of the Macross series The OVA series "Super Dimension Fortress Macross II -LOVERS AGAIN-" was planned to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the birth of "Super Dimension Fortress Macross". Its comic adaptation was handled by Tsuguo Okazaki, who also worked on "Justy", and it was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Sunday" from the May 1992 special issue to the December 1992 special issue. Now, after more than 30 years, it is being republished in a new edition that has been scanned from the original manuscript and makes full use of the latest digital technology. It also includes rare color illustrations that were published in the magazine when it was serialized. In the year 2009, a girl performed a miracle. A miraculous singing voice spread across the despair of outer space, putting an end to an unprecedented, gigantic battle. 80 years later, a new battle has begun! While covering the battlefield, a TV reporter boy named Kanzaki Hibiki rescues Ishtar, a singing shrine maiden of the alien army... Number of pages:314 ( This is a machine translation. Please allow for possible misinterpretations in the text. )
Jasonc Posted September 25 Posted September 25 Got these awhile ago. They're a bit old, but the condition of them is great, and I got them for a really great price.

Great find.

The M3 designs are incredible and it's really cool to see (fanbooks?) for it. Great find. I first saw them about 1 1/2 years ago for a lot more, and didn't pull the trigger on them. Then they popped up again about a month later, different seller, and they were half the price. I recently saw these pop up on Yahoo Japan for a more expensive price, but don't see them now. If anyone is interested, they have a short story in them, some data on the valkyries of the game, and some character backgrounds. Other than that, it isn't a telling of the story, but the art is quite good.
