Is yamato coming out with updated 1/48 valks?

[Thai Boxer 9901]

I ask this because I was on HLJ earlier and I noticed that the 1/48 VF-1S roy and hikaru were listed as being released in may or june and I thought to myself..."they have BEEN out for a while". Then I went to yamatos website and they have it plastered all over their splash page and since I cant read japanese, I was wondering if someone could translate or give me the low down on this?

Also, I came across this on HLJ...

Seems like yamato is saying "paint them yourselves!" lol. Kinda cool if you ask me but lets say someone were interested in painting their on yamato valkyrie, how would one go about in getting CUSTOM decals made???

They're reissues of the same old 1/48's only now with smaller boxes.
