Generations 2020 book for December 10th

[griffin]

The annual Japanese guidebook of Transformers toys is becoming more reliably annular, with the next volume coming out on the same day as the 2019 edition - December 10th.
No details or images yet, or even pre-order listings, but when they do, they will be noted.


I don't know why the more recent volumes are now using the following year on the title, as they are primarily featuring the toys from the year that is just ending, like a yearbook that looks back over the past year of toys, while giving a small sneak peek at a few items from the from the next year just to tease us.

The cover has been revealed by tweet from the publisher.
Pre-order listings should be up soon, if not already, as it is less than 3 weeks from release.

I'm very tempted to get this, I imagine it has a lot of information about Unicron in it.

The book is now up on Amazon Japan, for release in just 6 days time, for 3190yen (about AU$50). (it doesn't look like HJL are stocking it this time, or just haven't listed it yet)

It has also been revealed by tweet that the mini-comic inside this volume, will be drawn by Satoshi Urushihara.

I tried to preorder from Amazon.Jp the other day and got a "we can not send any physical items outside of Japan" message.

I've ordered books from them in the past (and have a specific Amazon.co.jp login) but it's been a while. Bit annoying.

Yeah, they stopped shipping everything to here when the GST thing started.

That cover is beautiful. Wish I could get my hands on a copy.

It’s up on HLJ now....

[Paulbot]

Thanks. Ordered. Should get it shipped with Hound in the new year

HLJ link for those who need it.

Just remember, HLJ will add on GST to the total.
