The Legacy Artwork book from a few years ago, appears to be getting a softcover reprint in November (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/05/16/legacy-the-art-of-transformers-packaging-paperback-reprint-coming-in-november-388323).
A highly recommended book, containing most of the original character art from the toyboxs in Gen1, so if you missed it last time, make sure you get this one, which should be cheaper.

I thought the point of a preview was to make the comic look interesting and enticing... Such a shame its been such a dull start.
