Yeah, I completely agree.
Yeah, that woud be pretty ridiculous of me to say that they don't come to this site considering all the visitors it gets. This is like one of, if not
THE premiere Silent Hill fan forums afterall, how could they not stop by?

But It's
still artwork, can never take that away from it.

If you put that in Google the first result is a
Wiki article.
Translated you get this
sad news.
Oh!
I thought that he had sent you like a detailed message or someth'n explaining exactly what had happened. Then I'm not so certain now that Konami really has anything to do with this, if you're going by just this one symbol in the descriptions by the pictures of the models. I read the Wiki article and did a bit of looking up of the word on my own and...........there's nothing to say that the guy stopped production of these kits based on copyright infringement(although technically, it is).
I know it mentions
copyright in the article, however not everything in Japanese should be taken so literally when translated into English. There's any number of Japanese words that can have a multitude of meanings depending on the context in the way it's used. In the case of the word
zeppan(絶版), it could just be as simple as this guy just deciding to discontinue this line of kits, hence the term "out-of-print".
Whatever the reason is............bottom line, he ain't makin' any more of 'em.
Vixx should be so happy she got what was probably the last PH kit made.
