You know... I have been asking myself for a while if bandai has been keeping the profile pics on their site low resolution on purpose so that they can eventually release artbooks and people would have more of a reason to reason to buy them.

I'm very tempted to buy this one but I'm not entirely sure yet... I mean I like the early art style but most of the designs are rather simple and being basically the "core roster" of Digimon many of their pictures have found their way into previous publications so they are not that rare either... the ver20th has some newer designs of course but at that point I'll be getting the book for about one sixth of its actual content... but on the other hand some of those new Digimon might be some of the really really new fusions and species that they haven't even revealed yet so that would be a chance to get the best available images of the cutting edge of digimon designs but still, if them giving specific version numbers on the book title could possibly imply that they might release art books for some of the other V-pets as well it might be better to wait until there is an artbook for a V-pet series with rosters I'm generally more interested in, like Pendulum X or Digimon Accel... but that's just a guess and since this book is probably limited like the other p-bandai stuff, so I'm not sure if I want to take that chance because getting it would be more difficult later...

Such hard decisions.
