this is sad news. but I have been seeing a huge upswing in the growth of this "niche" in the usa. I was at my local hobby shop, talking to the owner about tanks (...big surprise..) he informed me that through out the past year he has had alot of requests for tanks. dont know if he'd ever stock henlongs cause of quality issues but who knows? I'm willing to bet this hobby gets huge in the states. if so hermill perhaps we wil see a return? wishing you the best of luck, and hopefully a speedy return.
