News: Yamato Regult Limited: Self indulgence gone awry

So Yamato released this limited edition Regult last month for 38,000 yen.  Made of the same HDP (High Density Polyurethane) material that is used for the 1/2000 Macross, it is an online exclusive for Yamato's online store.

It's a big piece, as seen in comparison to the 1/60 VF-1D.

Well, I guess someone doesn't understand what global recession means...Seriously, this, for this much?
