I am a big macross fan.

I like the artist where his work involves many such as gunbuster & megazone 23. Ill be grabbing his artbook soon.

Talking back about macross cel. I really would love to get a Minmay cel, but only of the Ova, not much of a robotech fan.

Ive seen many Macross Do you remember love cel out there, but price is over the top, average $500. Specially for a shot of Minmay during the end scene whilst she sings the peace song.

You can get really beautiful minmay cels from Yahoo japan auction & also www.anime-link.com

I have a Macross 2 cel which im not very fond off, Im willing to sell it for $15 or trade for a Macross 7 cel.

Yep, luna_slave is correct. The best place to get Macross/Robotech cels seems to be Yahoo Japan. There are a number of them up there right now including a couple of multiple cel lots. There are also several private dealers who sell Macross/Robotech cels (Anime Link having the best selection but also higher prices in my opinion). Check out some of the sites on this keeptrack site and you will be able to find Macross sections on many of them.

As
for pricing, unfortunately Macross is one of the higher priced anime out there. For cels of main characters from the movie, Do You Remember Love, expect to pay upwards of $300. Cels from the Macross TV show (Robotech) can generally be bought for perhaps 50% less. As luna_art points out, nice cels of Minmei are particularly popular (especially among deep pocketed Japanese collectors) and can regularly draw $500-$1000 for the top quality ones. Cels of Millia are somewhat rare and have been drawing similar prices lately.

So I guess my advice is to either:

1. Save your pennies, because chances are you are going to need quite a few of them.

2. Be patient and shop around. There are nice cels out there at good prices. Also, the same cel at auction can usually be had at a lower price than if it was on a dealer's site.

3. Focus on collecting other, generally less expensive anime. I loathe this option myself but it does make sense for monitary reasons.

Just a few of my personal observations being in the Macross cel market for the past 2 years.

Baron, this is the best private collector's gallery, in my opinion, I have found that is not on Rubberslug. There are links there to 3 pages of cels, backgrounds and sketches.

And
to answer what is probably your next question, I found this gallery by doing a Google search for "Macross cel" in Japanese characters.
