Nice, concise capsules, though - I suspect there'll be lots of fodder for pendantic fanboys in them, but **** that lot right in the ear.
Not my bag, but it's good they're more widely avaliable than in the back of Generations (any chance of IDW doing that with English text, I wonder? That really would be fantastic... or even just reprinting it for the West as is, even if it'd be practically impossible to solict...).

Yeah, Amazon or any bookstore that can order with an ISBN...

For the Generations books, no. You don't wanna know what I happily forked out for a book of photos.

-- but I don't think either of the Ark volumes includes the Studio Ox models (someone check I've got the name right; 99% sure they're the nice angular models rather than the simplified comic/cartoon ones) that were in Generations.

Asked. For photo books we're probably out of luck -- getting a full set of complete figures to photograph or licensing an entire set of images means it'd struggle to do more than break even over here. For art, there's a Japanese book more recent than Generations (and in print) which is just images --Cliffjumper wrote:any chance of IDW doing that with English text, I wonder?

Possibly not much more than I did for Wedge, TBH, and I a) have most of the toys in that and b) only ever "read" the first third...Denyer wrote:For the Generations books, no. You don't wanna know what I happily forked out for a book of photos.
I'm not too fussed about the art, it would have just made a rather nice companion piece for Wedge...
Would getting a set of pictures together really be that difficult? While some people would be unhelpful ****s no doubt, I bet a lot of people would be interested just to help get a book like that made - I know whatever presentable figs I have would be used to help out if I could. A Western G1/G2 book would be pretty easy to mount, I feel.
