My little care package has arrived from FROMJAPAN.
So, I should be able to start scanning the poster from the 1980-12 instalment, which is the white-on-black Dai-X cutaway.

This instalment doesn't contain anything else about Star Fleet: just like the 1980-11 one didn't (in fact it doesn't even mention anything about X Bomber on the cover).
It does cover a lot of stuff, however: Buck Rogers, Battle Beyond the Stars, Gundam, Space Battleship Yamato, Flash Gordon, and a whole range of other things.

I chose the cheapest shipping option that wasn't "surface".
In this case, it was "small packet airmail" and it wasn't tracked but I also wasn't expecting it to arrive within a week.

The people at FROMJAPAN have really packaged these magazines up well. They always do a great job of preserving the integrity of my scanning operations. 😀

The other thing is that I paid almost nothing for these two Starlog magazines.
The cost was really, really minimal and yet each one is beautifully packed and in absolutely pristine.

These magazines are 45 years old and yet it looks as though nobody's ever even opened them.
There really is something to be said for Japanese culture and how meticulous and exacting the people are.
