Also found in this issue was this unique Bandai ad for the current Mecha Collection mini models…
The first three photos depict models set against backdrops, similar to a larger kit that was released in 1978. However, these were not special editions of the models with a bonus item, which makes the photos somewhat misleading. The accompanying text clarifies it:
The popular Space Battleship Yamato has a lineup of cool mecha. Even the mini size is full of impact. You can enjoy them by displaying them on your desk or lining them up on a shelf, and as you can see in the photo above, if you put a book in back of them, such as a photo collection of Yamato, you can recreate even more realistic scenes. Now, your mecha collection strategy has begun.
