Looks like the Bandai clear version of the Star Destroyer Vehicle 001 just got released into the wild. Guy wants silly money for it on EBay. I want three of these suckers, but I can wait for the reasonable price vendors to emerge.

Here's a photo of the clear version illuminated.

By the way, this isn't a model kit distributed through model retailers, but a model magazine with a give-away kit attached, sold in book stores all over Japan.
So if your local bookstore enables you to place orders on publications overseas, or better still, a have bookstore dealing with Japanese publications nearby, I suppose that might be the cheapest way to get it.

Ebay.

I was anticipating this might get a regular release down the line. But, a lot of Bandai Spirits kits seem to vanish...and that's it.

The magazine goes for about 15 bucks on the newsstand in Japan. I would love to have paid that. But, I don't want to miss out on this.

I have a stack of Bandai mini SDs that I was planning for various fun projects. When I heard about the transparent version, I was going to give away to some kids the ones I bought...there was no reason for them.

If Bandai don't release a transparent version...then, the Model Graphix Magazine might be the only chance of getting hold of them.

I really wanted 4. But, that was when I thought they'd be a regular release. I ended up spending a lot of money on Ebay for 3 of the magazines, and hope that I can repurpose a regular Bandai SD for half of a diorama I was planning.

I'd love Bandai to release lots more models in this format. At the end of the day, it helps "special" modellers, and if you want to make a regular SD...so what? You primer it anyway, and there you go!
 
Had a friend buy it at Yodabashi Akihabara. Apparently they are sold beside the bandai kits. Not sure if these babies will ever be sold retail. Seems like a promotional model kit that comes with the magazine only. Thus the Evilbay sales

mine arrived yesterday and it is worth every cent :) The magazine has great pictures and i love the model. Ok the text is in japanese but it does not matter
 
Received mine yesterday as well - looks great and I'll enjoy getting this one together. It'll be a fun (and amusing) complement to my Cooper 42-inch SD!
