Yup I remember saying that all too well. thats why I had such a huge smile on my face when I found one at a pokey little suburban hobby shop that usually has nothing usefull.
It just goes to show that perseverance and actually driving out to a hobby shop rather than just searching online pays off
Plus 99% of shop owners dont have a clue why people still want a discontinued kit so you can talk them down on the price a little hehe.
