JDeck:
 The star wars official starships and vehicle collection magazines is a fortnightly collection of 80 magazines published in 2008-2010. They showcase different vehicles from the original trilogy the prequels and even some expanded universe vehicles. They each come with an accurate dicast replica of the vehicle. I've bought a couple of these and I think they're pretty decent tons of  photos including behind the scenes photos, blueprints, and concept drawings. I use them as references but the models themselves serve as nice display pieces.

Tamer:
I have the Walker one somewhere. Not a bad collectible to have.

JDeck:
Yeah these magazines are not much for accuracy maybe it was a misprint but the rebel medium transport issue claimed the ship is 900m long I about had a heart attack. That would mean my model would be like ten feet long. I am under the impression that it is "really" 90m long. Its confusing because there is no 1:1 scale only studio scale. The scales in ROTJ were all jacked up they were small in one shot and huge in another. Because every model was built a different "scale" A transport looked big compared to the Falcon but small compared to an A-wing. But anyway. The pictures and blueprints are still good as long as you disregard the specs.

JDeck:
  I picked the Force Awakens collectors edition up at the Dollar General. Its pretty neat, it has tons of articles about, characters, costumes, creatures, sets, concept art, behind the scenes. All kinds of stuff. They have creatures I didn't even notice, including one of my favorite beasts from the OT. Don't get me wrong, ILM creature shop did an awesome job in ROTJ, but the creatures in TFA look amazing, especially in this book. Pretty cool magazine, its available until FEBRUARY 20th. With a cover price of $10.99.

  I also got the ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:  The ultimate guide to STAR WARS. Its a pretty cool magazine it has segments on the original trilogy, the "Legends", prequels and sequels. They have articles about Mcquarrie, the holiday special, ewoks, all kinds of cool stuff. Pretty neat book. That's available until MAY 2016.

Tamer:
Magazines for me just never last. I got SW Insider for a few years and ended up sending them off. Books are a different story.

On that note, on the right side of the main page, I put up the four books I have ordered as a result of TFA.

The folks on the podcast last week really hooked me on the art of Star Wars, and the DK Cross Sections. Amazon has a great deal on the cross section books right now too.
