Received mine today. Covers all current MPs, the announced stuff, unpainted Star Sabre pics, US releases, exclusive decos (EVA, BAPE, toy show, etc).
Essentially, its pretty much everything already shown. Nothing "new". That being said...
Pretty friggin' nice. If only I knew Japanese!
As a primarily-MP collector, it's a nice catalogue.

It's the same price at Amazon (when you go through checkout it removes the 8% Japanese tax)

Got mine today and had a quick look through, agree with what you've said.Originally Posted by millhouse
There's plenty in there that's new for me too which is nice, and the quality of the paper and printing is really good as well.
I mostly got it to have all the design sketches in one place; one of these days i'd love to try my hand at sketching out a theoretical MP of my own, but damn do they go into some absurd detail at the sketching phase!
It'd be truly awesome if you could read it - i hope to get my wife to translate a few of the interviews at the back (someone on TFW will probably get to it first though!).

If you find a link or your wife translates a few, please feel free to share!

Will do! If there's a few specific photo captions anyone is after let me know.

Just ordered this book from Amazon JP. Charged me 2800JPY ($30) for the book and $13 for postage, so $43 all up. Their international postage rate feels expensive* to me, but still about $9 cheaper than getting it locally.

*But probably because it's a single small item; postage from Japan becomes better value for money when shipping in bulk, which is what I always do w/ toys.
