That gives me hope both will be available for a while.

Let us hope so. I was looking for it last week and couldn't find a .jp marketplace seller that would ship to the UK, but it seems Amazon.jp themselves have just restocked it.

It will have to wait until I have an income again. Then shall I strike for Generations and the Super Encyclopedia!

Total price including P&P looks very similar to HLJ.

It is. For some reason it gets discounted a bit during checkout, I think it was 3980 yen, but with postage it was £43. I added the other book on to make it worthwhile, both together was £54 shipped. Expensive, but I haven't bought myself any Christmas presents yet.

The best answer I can give you is... About eleven quid.

What is the super encylopedia? It's a weird little book. Has a picture and paragraph of text [in Japanese] for most of the characters from G1, G2, Beast Era, CR, UT, Animated, Prime, Go, RiD, Cyberverse, Netflix and Live Action. Pictures used are taken from boxart, the TFC reissues, screenshots, Studio Ox artwork, Dreamwave, and more. |

This arrived today. Less than four days from Japan! Looks lovely although it's disappointing the paper stock is coarser than Generations Deluxe. Takes the shine off what should feel a premium product. Really looking forward to getting my head round it at the weekend.

My book came today. These sample pages don't appear to be in it. So where are they from? Sample Pages - click for larger versions BW, BM & RiD fairly well covered. Disappointed not to see any Universe 1 - bar the Grape Ape - or Robotmasters - even though the Op & Megs repaints appear - both of which feature a lot of BW/RM/RiD repaints. Could have done with some side by side comparisons of western & Japanese versions - the ones that there are appear to be for the toys which changed during their Japanese release. Also, as mentioned above, the paperstock seems a little rougher than usual. But apart from that, what a brilliant book. This is going to get a lot of use and, looking at the state of my original Generations, I probably ought to have a back up copy! |

Those look like earlier version pages and in the end they decided to use the same design layout as the original book.

Looks georestricted again, possibly due to it only being currently available from a third party seller. I'll keep an eye

I still weep bitter tears at missing out on this mighty tome.
What is the mistake?
