I don't know how many of you "heavy users" pick up Dengeki Hobby magazine on a regular basis, but the March issue (the one with the *spoilers* mobile suit on the cover) comes with a nice bonus 20 page pull-out insert on Yamato.
Most of the booklet is a loving guide to building and customizing the 1/700 scale kit packaged with the new Season One DVD box set, which went on sale in Japan on 2/22. I begged and pleaded with the Bandai guys to sell it as a stand-alone kit, but they've sworn to keep it as an incentive to buy the DVD set, which costs around US$400.
That might seem like a steep price to maintain the original look of the Yamato, amidst a sea of redesigns that purists frown upon, but think of all the fun you'll have replicating the all-silver look the Yamato dons during the final minutes of episode 26!
