You have to get your information from the horses mouth, not from hear say and internet chats. JR has stated that they are moving their RC product manufacturing to Malaysia where costs are lower. There will be a short period of low supply until they are up to speed in the new facility. Nowhere in the press release did they mention stopping producing JR radios. The Japan facility will close (has closed). JR will be concentrating on the "industrial helicopter" market but states that they are still committed to the RC Hobby business. All this is from an "Official Post and Private Communication" dated August 28, 2016 from Japan Remote Control Co.,Ltd.
You can get all the JR equipment you want from jramericas.com
