Star Wars Chronicles

[CAPTAINCOX]

Well at that time they were only shared in a secret Cabal, until one day. .

Love it! like a HP Lovecraft Novel
Na jokes aside, I can Imagine the rant back then. but I find it cool that he put them back up on the Modeler and Magic site.

Cheers for the oh so old heads up guys.

I'm not sure why those photos were a problem to be showed? Do they have something special? Did they enlight infos nobody new about the Red5 in that time?

 

[CAPTAINCOX]

Not that many good pics of the ol RED 5 out there, so...
I guess knowledge is power even in this little world...only my five cents.

And I believe the theory was that red five was significantly altered after ANH or reused/recycled in a sequel, so any original ANH reference was precious.

The American version from about 20 years ago was also $150, similar but with different pics.

just out of curiosity are there any Star Tours pictures in the new Japanese version of the book?

 

[Lee S]

There are not. This just covers the 3 original films.

They are 2 different books. The vintage Chronicles is different from the Japanese one

Does anyone know where to get this book? Like with a few here I've not had any luck with the Japanese Amazon and Hobby Link Japan has had it on back order for months https://hlj.com/product/GAK06437

I was really hoping a western supplier would have shown up by now...

Amazon Japan list 3 in stock as I type this. $158 USD + shipping. Really easy to order, just remember to set your shipping first & then the following process is easy.

Okay great, you got me to go back and try Amazon.jp again and noticed the little widget that translates it into English. I was trying it with Google translate before but it failed quite quickly into the process. Ordered now - thanks for the nudge!

 

[akumazeto]

I just ordered yesterday!

 

[Ktaylor]

Just ordered one! Thanks for the info everyone! Yeah the trick for amazon.jp is set your shipping address in your settings, not when you try to check out...

Anyone have this?? Wondering if its just a recover of SAG or something...

That is a lovely little book about Bandai SW builds. Written all in Kanji, but Google translate will decipher it.
Somehow, I wound up with 2 of them.
Very handy to have, but nowhere near as much info as the Chronicles book.

 

[maxhebus]

Just useless if you're looking for Studio Scale references.
