I've been deep into the Metal Gear lore and shit for years and years (even helped run a MGS fansite back in the day), and seeing the Studio Works book and all the notes being translated is fucking amazing, and even has some unknown facts and details about the games or characters that people never saw before. Such as E.E. is wearing a Powerpuff girls watch in MGS2.

This shit is quality too, it's like two 400 page books and are fucking heavy.

There is also some early concept sketches for MGS3 characters that never made it... They seem like fucking demons or something.

Yeah, I asked my friend Nitroid (who is a living Metal Gear database) and he said he thinks he heard about something like that but couldn't actually explain at all what these number characters are. So it's probably some super dooper unknown shit. =P

What are those Number characters? They look cool

No clue, the guy I go to for rare knowledge on the games didn't know about them, so I doubt there is much info out there about it.

Is it $51 forever or is it only temporary?

I have no clue. I had it pre-ordered and paid $47. <_<

Yeah, though I really didn't like Ashley Wood's art style for the longest time. Around the time he was doing work for Peace Walker I think I got used to it, and he got better at it. The female characters in the MGS1 look so bad to me.
