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 left-arm laser cannon. Both are more powerful and taller than the average powered-suit designs, making them extremely effective hunters.
