I bought this kit, un-assembled, from Buyee.com in July 2021. I paid a reasonable sum (£31); less than a lot of others were reselling them for (bearing in mind it was a 10+ year old kit at the time), but obviously with shipping and import taxes to them have to pay. Still, for something relatively rare and expensive in the west, it was a pretty good deal.

Background Info
The Melusine is a later-model armoured fighting suit of the Strahl Democratic Republic (SDR). It was developed to combat the later models of the mercenary army's SAFS suits. It's very heavily armoured compared to the earlier suits, with a powerful laser mounted in place of the left arm and remote visual sensors (no glass face-plate).
The Melusine shares a lot of similarities with the Kauz, since the Melusine is intended to have been a later, ground-only suit developed from the Kauz. The silhouette is mostly unaltered, except for the removal of the Kauz' thrusters and flight sensors.
