UN Spacy Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Thanks for the help and translations fellas. BTW. Is there a way for folks outside of the US to get the pin set that I've been seeing on the back pages? How many extra binders are you guys getting? I have one set (2 binders pet set) on preorder at HLJ. http://www.hlj.com/product/digwmsp/Boo
Gubaba Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Thanks for the help and translations fellas. BTW. Is there a way for folks outside of the US to get the pin set that I've been seeing on the back pages? How many extra binders are you guys getting? I have one set (2 binders pet set) on preorder at HLJ. http://www.hlj.com/product/digwmsp/Boo I don't think there's any way to get the pin set, except through a proxy. As for binders, I ordered one set this time (and a set of the Gundam Perfect File binders). Eventually, of course, you'll need eight. For anyone ordering directly from DeAgostini, I recommend ordering more than one set at a time, or one set and something else. The binders are ¥590 per set, and DeAgostini tacks on a ¥315 charge for any order under ¥1000.
sketchley Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 PHP smack down, tweaks and updates from the revision: Timeline 09A: The Macross Forces a Fold: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRtimeline/Timeline09A.php Complete! Mechanic: TF SMS 04A: YF-29 Durendal: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRmechanic/TFsms04aYF29.php - I was really worried that the sheet would repeat some of the difficult to translate pseudo-science on the YF-29 in the Macross F Official Complete Book, and thankfully, it didn't! It's laden with lots of juicy bits instead. Yum!
sketchley Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 PHP smack down, and a bunch of tweaks (and even some retranslations!): Technology 03B: Destroid: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRtechnology/03bDestroid.php - I have mixed feelings on the demise of the ETs in the Destroid back story. But on the flip side, I really dig the two (2) heretofore unmentioned AUA Destroids!
sketchley Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 ER/RM++ Project: Worldguide 19A: Macross Frontier Fleet: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRworldguide/19AMacrossFrontierFleet.php - tweaks of the previously translated content + the ER/RM (which is eyebrow raising). Another sheet that I'd like to get back to at a future date.
sketchley Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) ER/RM++ Project - Episode sheets: M04A & B: Super Dimensional Fortress Macross Eps. 4 "Lynn Minmei": http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRepisode/M04ABeps4.php - loads o' goodies herein. My favourites are the species of fish that Hikaru lassos (that's a real fish, NOT mutated by the space fold. Take that Del Rey novels!) and the clarification of Macross and the origins of the term "otaku". 707A & B: Macross 7 Eps. 7 "Summer Accident": http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRepisode/707ABeps7.php - the biggest shocker in this one is the image source for the Riviera. That's just, like, wow. Edited April 7, 2013 by sketchley
Renato Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Can't find issue 11 now, and amazon is listing it for twice the price second-hand. Screw that.
jvmacross Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 gulp! Another new one.....and its a beauty!!! .........maybe Arcadia can re-issue all of their valks using these tenjin covers......... http://deagostini.jp/mcr/backnumber.php?id=38453&issue=14
nexxstrait Posted April 11, 2013 Author Posted April 11, 2013 gulp! Another new one.....and its a beauty!!! .........maybe Arcadia can re-issue all of their valks using these tenjin covers......... http://deagostini.jp/mcr/backnumber.php?id=38453&issue=14 I agree, it's gorgeous, but I'm afraid this is an old illustration. It has already been published in old chronicle issue #31 or 32, if I remember correctly.

sketchley Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Complete! (an epic one at that) Glossary 04A: AIF-9V - SF-3A Lancer II: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRglossary/Glossary04a.php - a lot of handy bits of info, but the most telling is an actual explanation on why Exsedor's appearance changes between SDFM and 7 (nevermind DYRL)! Now if only they would be so forthcoming with the other design changes... Edited April 11, 2013 by sketchley

It has already been published in old chronicle issue #31 or 32, if I remember correctly. Forgot about that one! You are correct....and I am relieved!...I am really only looking to get the new covers...so looks like maybe there will only be 30 new cover illustrations after all....maybe

antibiotictab Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 It's mine~~~ I also watched this picture on Facebook today. I am following a Singaporean's posts.
sketchley Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 On a related note, one of the bookstores near my workplace had one set (2 binders) on sale. You may be able to bypass the shipping charges if you get a store to order them for you.
nexxstrait Posted April 11, 2013 Author Posted April 11, 2013 I've three waiting for me in my HLJ private warehouse, so I have one question: do they come with separators like the binder in issue #1?
Gubaba Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 I've three waiting for me in my HLJ private warehouse, so I have one question: do they come with separators like the binder in issue #1? No.
nexxstrait Posted April 12, 2013 Author Posted April 12, 2013 No. Oh. That's interesting... Thanks Gubaba.
sketchley Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Complete: Gallery: Zero: Macross Zero: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRgallery/zero.php ER/RC++ Project: Mechanic: Zero AUA 01B: SV-51: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRmechanic/ZEROaua01bSV-51.php The entire front page (new for the revised edition) and tweaks to the existing translation. Nice that there's a nod to the SV-52.
sketchley Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Some images from Issue 13: 13b.jpg That Guraaji, she's got legs, and she knows how to use them ♪ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nZniMYCZp4
sketchley Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 ER/RC++ Project: Mechanic: F SMS 05A: RVF-25 Messiah: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRmechanic/Fsms05ARVF-25.php - no ER/RC on this one, just the stats block and the QF-4000 stuff. Nothing really unexpected... History 7 03A: The Drifting City 7: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRhistory/703aDriftingCity7.php - the sheet per se isn't that interesting, but it does underline the slow pace of Macross 7 and highlights how many of the story beats in the series aren't directly stated or shown (or if they were, how subtle they were). Thumbs up!
Renato Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Some images from Issue 13: 13.jpg OK, now THAT is HILARIOUS. It's like the Glaug is CRUSHING the VF-2SS with its foot. "CONTACT" THIS!!
sketchley Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 ER/RM++ Project: Technology 10A: Beam Weapons: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRtechnology/10aBeamWeapons.php - nothing too unexpected, and I really like that they clarified what the Zentraadi impact/liquid plasma guns are. (I'd like to say some of the untranslated sections look tempting, but they appear to be recycling content from other sheets). Episodes: M05A & B: Super Dimensional Fortress Macross Eps. 5 "Transformation": http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRepisode/M05ABeps5.php - I was looking at the Nyan-nyan Restaurant section with some trepidation - and it turned out to be the most interesting! If you ever wanted to know what happened to Yo-chan. On a related note: does anyone remember if the original edition referenced any of the drama CDs? Plus 02A: Macross Plus "Episode 2": http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRepisode/Plus02ABeps2.php - some interesting stuff. Kudos for giving props to the screenplay writer!
Gubaba Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Episodes: M05A & B: Super Dimensional Fortress Macross Eps. 5 "Transformation": http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRepisode/M05ABeps5.php - I was looking at the Nyan-nyan Restaurant section with some trepidation - and it turned out to be the most interesting! If you ever wanted to know what happened to Yo-chan. On a related note: does anyone remember if the original edition referenced any of the drama CDs? Not specifically, no. But Yot-chan taking over Nyan-Nyan and turning it into a chain was referred to on his Character Sheet... they just didn't say what the source of that tidbit of info was. (I *think* they also mentioned that Millard was in Skull Squadron, which is a detail that comes from the Macross Classic drama album.)
jvmacross Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Issue 15: this time I won't say if it is new or not! ....but I think it is..... http://deagostini.jp/mcr/backnumber.php?id=38457&issue=15 maybe it is the Defender image that lost out to the one chosen for the Wave kit.... Edited April 16, 2013 by jvmacross
sketchley Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Complete! Heroine Gallery: Sheryl Nome x VF-19Kai / Kuran Kuran x VF-25G: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRheroine/HeroineGalleryMF.php#SherlNomexVF-19Kai - The Klan Klan one was nice. The Sheryl one? Well, it certainly captures the mood of Nekki Basara. ER/RM++ Project: Timeline 10A: Macross, First Transformation: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRtimeline/Timeline10A.php - basically the same partial translation as before with some tweaks, and a handful of sections that were revised in the Revised Ed.. This time, those revisions are a mixed bag. On the one hand, there are a couple of spots that are clarified. On the other hand, there are a couple of spots were information has been removed or kanji has been rendered in kana. Simplifying for the masses?
Tochiro Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Some images from issue 14: Also, those who've bought issues 1~15 can send in for the first set of Macross pin badges (subscribers have already received these).
MacrossCN Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Also, those who've bought issues 1~15 can send in for the first set of Macross pin badges (subscribers have already received these). it can not be sent to foreign countries... T T
