Observations & Critique: Is it worth your effort?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"Yamato<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This accessory was a mail-in\/mail-order special release by a Japanese hobby magazine (Dengeki) that partnered with Yamato.  These shipped in a plain white box with blue text.  The outer white box (32.5 x 19 x 4.5 cm) sheaths an inner white tray that slides out to reveal the clear armor parts sealed in plastic bags. You got:
2x top of backpack booster pieces
2x leg covers
2x missile boom covers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dengeki announced preorders in January 2003 for 1,500 Yen and Yamato made the parts to order and shipped them in March 2004. Something very similar was done years later for Yamato’s V2 1\/60. Obviously, the two are not compatible. At release, a lot of people shrugged these off, reasoning that you can get a very similar effect by simply removing the original armor piece and leaving the internal detail exposed. “Wait, I paid $X for this?” was a very common lament when they were first released. However, these were only offered for a limited time and the 1\/48 line (and Yamato) is dead so they will only get harder to come by as time passes, becoming more collectable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
