On the HLJ page is stated "This item is discontinued and is not expected to come back into stock."

What might be the background for this?

Could it be a rights issue? On the Tamiya home page nothing is mentioned.

I asked HLJ and they answered quickly:

"Unfortunately this means that we have taken as many orders as we expect to be able to fill with the amount of product we're likely to receive. Even if we were to accept additional orders at this time, we would not be able to fill them.

There's a chance that the manufacturer may re-release the item, but at this time we unfortunately have no news regarding a reissue."

Interest seems greater than the first edition ...

wow, I find hard to believe Tamiya won't capitalize on this massive success and re-release even in different version/configuration
