Sorry for the super late response - asleep at the switch.... The mechs are originally from Macross. These are chinese knockoffs of the old plastic kits by Arii, they are marketed under the name "Super Space Time Models". They are no where near as crisp as the old Arii kits and a bit of a pain to build (lots of putty and sanding, chipping off the alignment pins for part halves in the arms and legs is pretty much a must). About three years ago there was a flood on ebay and I bought a case for $32. I have a bunch of the full jet fighter and extra armored Battroid version left over - thinking about painting the Battroid up as referees. They still pop up from time to time but they usually are around $5 each and not available by the case. Guess it's up to the whim of the chinese molder, and even at $5 they are cheaper then the Arii when you can find them. Maybe there will be another wave and they will become cheap again.
