RC Mart also replied to my recent inquiry that it was discontinued...
I got an email from Speedtech saying they're expecting new kits in 2months. Tamiya seems to just make batches at will and only if they are selling.. since they just won the euros i'd expect a larger stock this time. When tamiya runs out of stock they have a habit of reporting them as 'discontinued' but w/in a few months somebody will have a few new ones..
