Bandai SD Winning Gundam English Manual & Color Guide
Released by Bandai recently was Fumina Hoshino's Winning Gundam from Gundam Build Fighters. I was going to say that it was released in SD form, but in the Build Fighters series it really was built in SD form...hehehe. I couldn't help releasing a chuckle while translating this because of the absurdity of it all.

Bandai 1/350 Space Battleship Yamato English Manual
Was looking through my backlog files and I found out that I still haven't gotten around to translating the 1/350 Space Battleship Yamato Manual. Looking at the files I suddenly remembered why I always put it off, because the sheer number of pages was just daunting. Took me about a week to translate the more than 50+ files and boy was I tired afterwards.

Bandai PG 1/60 RX-0 Unicorn Gundam LED Unit English Manual
The first time I saw the price of the companion LED unit for the PG RX-0 Unicorn Gundam I thought Bandai had gone insane. Well I still think its a bit too pricey but I guess economies of scale can't come to bear because the Perfect Grade line caters to a niche market of hobbyists so the price of it can't really come down.
