definitely a nice complimentary item to add to your chogokin collection. i just hope this is also an updated continuation of the previous project soul of chogokin book which ended with gx-40 godmars..

Apparently, its the Chogokin 40th anniversary commerative edition (according to what written in the top). So it might contain more information than just SOCs.

Is this a continuation of a previous book? Or a completely new, unrelated book?
I ask because I hope it would be more vintage chogokin based rather than SOC...I mean the cover art is pretty much vintage style chogokin.
I don't particularly care when the books mix newer stuff with older stuff.

What the hell, I pre-ordered one. If I don't like it, I'm sure someone else will buy from me. ;0

I've never bought any of the chogokin books, but Im hoping there are photos of the actual gokins? or even sketches or thought concepts/ behind the scenes stuff on how these came to life. That would be cool.

I'll wait for any of you to get it and tell us what it's about I'd like a full-chogokin history book, y'know, from the GA-01 to the GX-68.

If you guys LOOK at the cover you can see its NOT JUST SOC,notice Daitetsujin-17 and early mazinger on bottom? So if not just SOC I doubt it contains ALL the SOC.Furthermore its NOT the continuation of the IRON SOC books at all,probably an overview of SOME stuff,rather than complete anything.Ill pass.Bonus is Poster it says it at AMIAMI.

Guess the timing makes sense, following Bandai Tamashi 40th Anniversary Compilation website: tamashii.jp/special/chogokin40th/index.htmlI sent emails to Image Anime, and ToyTokyo in NYC, to see if either of them could get some for us local to NY.

Wonder what's the exclusive item this time round. Good point. But since this seems to be a stand alone as Baron mentioned and not directly a continuation of the older SOC books, I think we might not be seeing an exclusive item mail away this time around...? Gold

Baron said that AmiAmi's item listing states the bonus item is a poster of the cover art.

I had a great idea,thought i posted it? anyway if those of us with large collections like Gold,TMZ,myself could put together a book of our own that documents ALL the companies and all their robots,it would include a comprehensive catalogue of numbers,photos,AND transformations IN ENGLISH,with transformation tips that are left out of Japanese manuals etc.Each year we can add a new compendium of the new robots released,like an ongoing book in 3ring style.This would be in a 3 ring binder type of setup,that we could all add to over time,so wed have a complete Chogokin book of SOCs,SRCs,CMs,Sentinel etc etc,THAT would be great.It would remain unpublished just for us at RJ.
It would be in downloadable format where you could print out each sheet.
