Showa Pop! Original Imai Macross Box Art Painting

If I haven't said it a hundred times, I always wondered what happen to the original 1980's Macross paintings that were used for the box art from Imai, Arii, Nichimo and Bandai.

I believe the Macross art was some of the finest art ever made for toys and model kits. Last week a seller put up the original art for the 1/100 Imai Macross Factory on a Japanese auction site. Reasonably priced at 100000¥, here is your chance to own the original art to perhaps the best box art in the series.
