What happened to Toyeast?

Toyeast hasn't had their signature super perfection lxx bits on their website for a while. Also, Toysrus.com has a clearance sale on all Microsizer products (Pros for only $10). What's happening to 1/64 scale rc's?

Easy does it now, there's a few things to consider before jumping on the '1/64th scale hobby is dying' bandwagon...

1. Christmas is coming, which means good deals are to be found just about EVERYWHERE.
2. They could just be clearing out inventory. At the $24.99 pricepoint people weren't buying, so to get rid of it they drop the price to something that should move the product.
3. Competition. With the RadioShack ZipZaps line, not to mention all the clones, competition has driven them to bring the prices down.

I would look on this situation as a great opportunity to buy some great stuff for great prices.

No bandwagon here, man. I hope you're right.

Tower has those deals too. I just picked up a bunch of MS stuff. I am waiting to see what is next to come out.

I noted the Mini Z readysets where marked down as well (not all but some of the older ones), most likely making room for the "new" stock.

My Wal-Mart has Rally Racer bullet clones that are on clearence for like $3. I picked a few up since I couldn't resist the price.
