An image pop up on Futaba Imageboard last night showing this:
The first variation from Yamato's well received 1/24 AV-98 Ingram Unit 1 is CLAT Ver.?
Seems a bit unlikely at first glance, as the natural choice would have been Ota's Unit 2. Folks on the forum managed to unlock the link on Yamato, and revealed three large images of this item:
The links are:

- http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/zoomer_flash.php?fnm=09/1437znm/b
- http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/zoomer_flash.php?fnm=09/1437znm/c
At the moment, there's no information whatsoever regarding this item on Yamato's website, whether this will be a regular or web shop limited release.
Then again, Patlabor fans must be really excited about this release. Being from the funniest episode in the entire TV series "CLAT Forever", this "CLAT Ver." is practically a non-existing mecha, even the organization of CLAT doesn't exist. XD One man's dream can generate so many fans for this mecha, and then this huge release, Shinge must be overjoyed XD
