I understand the out of Stock deal. Hobby shops still have item for sale, that have been on back order for well over a year now.
They can not even give you an approimate date of delivery, they don't know. The overseas business is tremendous, yet they will not supply the items people desire. Why? Money. The U.S companies can not afford to build items and ship them to retail stores. So we sit here and wait for the foreighn counties to do the work. They charge the retail owner shipping, which is passed on to us, thus as a result, higher prices. They own this market, and people support it. My question still stands, why are models out of stock for over a year? They do have the parts, and can supply. They are not doing it. Why?
