ezToys stopped selling latest Aeroclassics?

I notice in the recent past months that ezToys has stopped carrying the latest Aeroclassics new releases. I used to get the newsletter from them first thing Friday of the day when Aeroclassics announces new releases, usually right after Aeroclassics posts on the FB feed.

Wonder if it has something to do with the fact that ezToys has become one of the main resellers of NG, HX, YY, etc. I heard a rumor from the past that A.K. is not happy with retailers carrying some other brands such as NG?

Has anyone noticed? I have purchased several Aeroclassics from them in the past year and looks like they are still selling Aeroclassics but those are all past releases and maybe they are just clearing out the existing inventory?

Who else but AeroClassics Direct, and therefore themselves, carry AC products exclusively? Sounds like suicide if you discourage your retailers from carrying competitor brands, especially when your moulds and QC are no longer the most competitive out there.

Is it because he’s not happy about NG using moulds that have AC lineage? If that’s the case, wouldn’t retailers carrying Panda Models and brands that use Panda as OEM also be affected?

I want to say my assumption is probably wrong, because looking at jetcollector that also carries NG, HX, or YY, etc continues to sell Aeroclassics latest releases. ezToys for some reason suddenly just cut the line makes me wonder and probably it wasn't Aeroclassics not selling well causing them to stop selling because if I remember correctly some new releases were sold out super quick once announced.

Selling quick and selling well are different things. It comes down to how many units were produced/offered.

If he's stopped stocking them then it'll be likely to have been his choice, however he does have the Swiss DC-9 from last month. When you make production runs of 80-120 units it may seem like some models are super popular, but in reality they are just made in small numbers. The majority of releases are still available and Eztoys doesn't like to hold stock. Over at JetCollector 11 of last month's 12 are still available and I'm not sure he ever listed the one that isn't.
