i think digital is great as a supplemental bonus (i.e. free mp3 download when you purchase an LP, exclusive content when you buy a movie or book, etc....) i just would never personally pay for a digital file of a magazine

I would love to see the return of the magazine too! Brian, you could even write features and show photos of your collection, i.e. the complete Inazuman, the complete Tiger 7, etc...

er... are you still contemplating mini rotating museum of your toys in the store at some point? (yes, this is a subtle pester )

I vote mag and mook...want both

Dusting off the shelves and flipped through the OG Mook. Would love to see part II

What's a mook?

Well in April there was an article that was 50% written. So hopefully that will be completed by December.
I doubt it will come out in 2012, so 2013 would make it 6 years since the first mook.

I have the original mook and find it indispensable still to this day, but an updated version would really be something I think a lot of people would be down to pay for, and obviously S7 feels the same way. Very cool to know something is coming.

I'm down for a magazine return too, even if it were quarterly like Hi-Fructose or something, it'd be amazing to have that stuff back.

People would be down for? Yeah..It was supposed to come out in 2007 but has since been delayed year after year.

What about a Mook that contained the best articles from the magazine?

What articles would you want to see reprinted there?

what about a mook with all the previous issues, without the new toy and cool clothing stuff- just all the articles that made the magazines.

Michael, isn't that sort of what I said?

haha yeah- i just left out "the best articles" in place for all of them. i personally would just like all the vintage articles- but im sure others would prefer fight figure stuff etc

I'm with you, Michael - reprints of the vintage articles would be great! An English language translation of Yuji's book would be most welcome, as well. As long as we're dreaming

How about releasing the one they've been working on for five years instead of starting a new project?

Any chance of a fresh update?

Heeeere mooky mooky...

Whoa, when a TARDIS traveling time lord doesn't know the future of the Mook we're ALL in trouble!

Good point... TO THE TARDIS!

Sub note: Hmm... as of 2062, still a work in progress (and Brian Flynns beard is reallllly long).

i've now been through 6 different addresses since the first mook came out (8 if you count staying with my parents for a month and a friend in boston for 2 months).

I'm ready to pay, whats the eta?

I really like my Mook! I hope another comes out this century.

Did they have the internet when the first one came out?

i'm pretty sure it came out before al gore invented the 'net.

Don't we have enough vintage collectors here to make our own mook? Speaking specifically vintage- I know we certainly have people with the toys, more than capable photographers and writers, and lastly very knowledgable collectors. It would be quite an accomplishment to get something that covers vintage A to Z, in English with beautiful photos. I mean I'm sure there are designers here that can do layout. Maybe S7 doesn't have the time?

The mook happened to cross my mind today... I don't like to think about it much, because I'm one who paid $40 for a promised two volumes five years ago. Not a lot of money, but on principle, it stinks: imagine if you bought a pair of toys in the BST, and the seller only sent one, then dropped communication- never did any kind of follow-up thereafter. Super7 accepted my Paypal payment for the subscription, so they have all my contact info, and yet I don't ever recall seeing an email to us would-be subscribers offering updates, a partial refund or other compensation, or even a "Sorry- it's never coming!" Occasional, teasing updates in this thread don't really cut it. I like skullbrain a lot, and I appreciate Super7's provision of this place... but the mook situation for subscribers must be called what it is: completely lame.

That is lame Mike. I'm sorry to read that

Not to mention if you did go on the attack and inquired, a few days later we'd all be subjected to some ridiculous uber-morality post from Brian about taking the high road and all the pseudo intellectual BS that goes with it.
