Just because it is a fad, doesn't mean that it will completely die out all together. Beanie Babies was a fad, and you can still buy and sell those(although I have no idea why one would want to).
Micro RC was a big fad. Right now the market is deciding which direction it wants to go, what companies will be around, and what type of products and developing there will be. Even in the Asian markets there will be an evolving market and it will eventually level off somewhere.
I for one would like the micro rc hobby to land squarely in the local hobby shops. The hobby will have more innovation, accessories, and development there than it would in a Wal-Mart at $4.99 a shot.
Unfortunatly, in my area of the world, the LHSs carry a random sampling of the MS line, along with maybe a Bit Char-A body or motor. Sooo sad. In Targets, Walmarts, Kmarts and the likes, the clones are flying around and there isn't much in the way of accessories. Eventually the retailers will stop selling those things(when the fad dies), and the LHSs will pick up the gap in the market.
