I'm a little new to this part of the hobby and I baught the 1/60 Alto from Bandai and love it but am now reading that they are going to release a version with the armor. Is there any way just to buy the armor seperately and how expensive is it? If anyone can recommend an online retailer, that would be great!
Thanks

They're releasing the armor solo, but as a Damashii web-shop exclusive, which means it wont be sold outside of Japan. You can buy it through a third party, but as they'll be picking it up for retail instead of at a discount from a distributor, you're looking at a 80-100% markup once shipping is included. It'll be cheaper (sadly) to re-sell your current Alto and get the Full Armor set. Tokyohunter is offering a buying service for the webshop exclusives: tokyohunter.blogspot.com/2009/05/bandai-dx-chogokin-armored-parts-alto.html

Heh. I just realized that the "armor" you were asking about is the fast pack armor, not the full armor. It's unfortunately the same story; it was offered only as a web shop exclusive. Of course, now that it's long since been sold out, you'd be lucky to find it and if you did, you'd be paying even more for it than you would for the full armor.

Looks like I may have to buy this figure again to get the armor cause it looks sooo good with the armor.
Thanks for all the help.

They are coming out with a new version that includes the fast pack armor. But it has color changes, not sure exactly what changed though, anyone have a comparison??

Here's a description of the changes for the new Alto/Strike Pack bundle. I guess it will look like how it shows up in the new Macross Frontier movie. Pictures are of old version. www.hlj.com/product/BAN960342

Based on teh pic in the other thread, the original coloring is WAY better. Still happy I overpaid for a bunch of FAST PACKS.
