Since Hobbico has several brands that do have a good reputation, it does feel like the management just let it bleed to death... That, and maybe KingStar's bankrupcy was the final nail in the coffin. Luckily sales were so poor there are still spares around at hobby stores that couldn't get rid of the parts. Maybe their luck will change when the last few dozen people left in the world running these cars stock up on spares
Also, something in me tells me that a mint or NIB DEX410 (v1) will be a future classic. I sold my shelf queen a few years ago for a measly 150 quid, looking back on it that probably was the worst time to sell it, lol!
