Mine should be with me on Monday.

Turned up 3 days early. A quick skim shows the usual high visual standard.

I'd forgotten this was due in June until I saw this message, so I ordered it on Monday - and it was just delivered now?!? The turn around time on deliveries from Japan these days is amazing. I doubt I'd have got it that quickly domestically.

Anyway, looks great. Can't wait to read translations of the section with the red pre-Sunstreaker and pre-Skids prototypes, and the Missing Link interview. I feel like that kind of content has been lacking a bit lately?

The Kojin Ono interview has been translated:

Worth following the person who did the translation on twitter in case they do more, or maybe request a translation if you can provide pictures of the Japanese text:

I've already read it thanks to the Deepl app on my phone!

Loved the Missing Link interview, getting into the design philosophy behind the toys and just how much they are enjoying working on them. It was quite heartwarming!

[The Doctor]

I shall have a look at that translation!
