Is Nitto still making the S.F. 3D/ Ma.K Zbv 3000 kits. especially the Krote and Jerry? I saw that Greatmodels had them available a couple of weeks ago, but went back to check to order some yesterday, but the site registers them as OOP![:0][:(!][:(]. However, went to hjl.com, and found out that they are only on back order. Can anybody tell me if they are still in production? Please?[?][?][?]
Thanks
Some of the Kits can still be found over here in the Shops, but it looks like there haven’t been any new batches being produced.
Most makers here release a batch once a year or every two years.
OTOH, more and more action figs and toys(Yellow Submarine, Max Factory, Kubrick, etc) of the designs are coming out so Nitto might be thinking it is more worthwhile to use the licence rather than produced their own kits.
From what I heard Kow does not have any plans on releasing new designs that previously were not available.
reluctant,
I hear ya. The note on most of those backorders say no production planned. “Wave” is also producing some, well very few. ( don’t know the connection to Nitto)
A Krote - just went for 47.50 on E-bay
and a Jerry just went for 39.99
Good luck
MMF, they’re everywhere here in Osaka. Tons of 'em.
Doesn’t mean they’re making new ones, of course…guess we just have a big stock of 'em here in Western Japan!
J-Hulk.
Most of the Shops still carry kits, but I find them fewer in number than the 1/35 figs and similar, also not the whole range is available.
Hey all, Im new to this board, but well versed in the hobby. I collect the sf3d and mak kits and my sources say that nitto is still producing the kits, but a certian number at a time. they only produce a couple of the versions at a time and only about a couple hundred, thats why you see hlj only has a few types and the others are back ordered. wave has worked out a deal with Kow to produce new variants every couple of years. the newest is the raptor and before that the fireball sg and hopefully by next year or so the neuspotter-krote variant called "Gans" will be out . All of the Ma.k kits will and are being reproduced except the neuspotter and konrad and the krachenvogol which goes for $80.00-$150.00 on ebay.
