The "rumor" was that somehow HG protested the inclusion of art that was too close to their licensed mechs and characters...but looks like that was either not the case or some deal was hammered out to finally get the book released... Based on cover of the non-SDCC edition...it appears to be the same book...looking forward to finding out...

Another set of items not produced in nowhere sufficient amount of assortments were SDFM and DYRL plushies! Only one was officially released as far as I know...

Maybe someone made their own replica of the book...I have never seen one posted....would be nice.... As for the 13 pics....sort of? Gakken released a series of photo idol packs that sort of capture the photo concept from that book... They are relatively easy to find and get posted on Mandarake and YJA a few times a year if you wanted to hunt the 3 sets down...

The awful feeling of realizing your "variant" box collection is not complete....😪

Yeah...their CS has basically become average at best...it was nice to have had such an unparalleled level of CS from a Macross toy vendor for several years...unfortunately, with their history of QC problems, at least for me, I have to be much more vigilant when dealing with their releases...as I have said before, I normally leave most of my Macross toys unopened, but I have made an exception for all KC VF-1 releases since the V 2.x came out...

Even smaller...

All would have depended on demand and scarcity....we'll never know

I see they did not use the new packaging on the low viz VF-1's... They look good...mine should be arriving soon too...will take them both out for a thorough inspection...

Good luck

Good luck....

Pillow Case was done....which means the matching bed sheets are out there...
