Tamiya availability?

[Tezcat]

I'm looking at getting a 201 and 502 but they don't seem to be readily available in the UK. Is this a common problem and is it hard to get hold of spares?

I'm returning to the RC scene after a lot of years away and always liked Tamiya build quality. I want to get same make 2wd and 4wd. If the Tamiyas are hard to get hold of I may look at Schumacher and Associated.
