Shake-Up in USA IXO Diecast Distribution

The popular IXO/Altaya Junior series of diecast airplanes is going through a major change in USA distribution. The relationship between IXO and distributor/retailer Diecast Direct has ended. IXO has elected to go with a pure wholesale distributor in Sunrich Toys & Hobby of Chino, California. Sunrich mainly distributes diecast cars and has worked previously with IXO in this area. New production schedules have been set for the release of the 1:144 scale series of bombers with the first batch now slated for August 2008. Bad Cat is now attempting to establish an account with this new distributor and welcomes the change as this supplier is physically closer to our locale.

I wonder if this will make it easier to pick up IXO products in the States now.

Kind of wish IXO would put out some more1/72nd scale aircraft.

What happened to the Stirling and the Wellington?

[STARMAN 352ND]

So are they still doing the 1:72 line ?
There seems to be no new releases for that line in 2008.
