It took them over two years to release <a href='https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/628a'><em>Yamato<\/em><\/a>, after which they embarked on a 1\/350 <a href='https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/740a'><em>Andromeda<\/em><\/a> and a 1\/350 <em>Hyuga<\/em> from <em>2205<\/em>.

The other was an extensive <em>Yamato 2202<\/em> encyclopedia, released as a &#8220;backup feature&#8221; in the weekly instruction manuals. Over hundreds of pages, it covered the story, characters, and mecha with the same attention to detail applied to the models. Without exception, it provides the deepest look into the series that can be found on paper.<\/p>\n<p>Since that material is now out of print and shows no sign of being collected, portions of it will be presented here.
