That is NOT an official Sentai site. That is a retail seller of models.
I already checked that site and saw the message. I suppose you are to
stock up on models from their site?
I Googled for sentai and found no other information regarding this dire
warning.
No other model retailers have posted this message and I suppose , if it
were true, they would jump on the bandwagon to sell more more of their
inventory.
Let's wait for Cookie to chime in.

nice catch, bill!

Um, no, that really is Sentai's site, and they're wholesale
rather than retail. International Hobby Supply is their retail side,
kinda like Military Model Distributors & Squadron Mail Order. I don't
know if this'll pacify you either, but here's another link to a
mention of it.http://www.modelretailer.com/mod/default.aspx?

Is that why you bought my Rex and George? They went to the PO tonight.

Hah! That's you? No, I was in the mood for a George, & no one had
one in stock. It's a neat airplane. The Rex is OK too, but wasn't what
I was after. Thanks.

Technically it's my son but since I'm no longer a member, he sold them
for me. I did the packing and labelling, though.
When I saw that name I said to him it might be one of the guys on rms.

    www.hasegawa-model.co.jp still lists Dragon as the US only
   importer to North America.

    Besides, I have been hoping Fine Molds will dump Dragon
   as their importer - since there is a lot of armor overlap,
   Dragon adds a premium to FM kits less attractive.

Amazing. Well, if you want cheaper options let me know, the kits are a
lot cheaper bought online and if there's something you cannot get I am
sure I can find it for you locally.

correct licence plate numbers decal in the kit !!! wuaaaauuuu
