I bought this kit new, from a seller on Yahoo Auctions Japan, using Buyee.com, in July 2021. It was fairly priced - no more than the same kit was when new, so it was a good deal since it was out of print at the time.
Background Info
The Altair is a space/flight version of the Grosser Hund. They are both autonomous (read: computer controlled) interception units, designed to hunt out and destroy enemy fighting suits (the Mercenary AFS and SAFS designs).
The Altair has a space capable flight pack and additional sensors compared to the ground based Grosser Hund, but shares the powerful laser cannon and both are more powerful and taller than the average powered-suit designs, making them extremely effective hunters.
