I haven't seen a FULL Dragon Wagon with tractor and trailer and a FAMO kit in a LOOOOONG time. Why is this? Are both kits rare and OOP? Do both large kits take up so much space that they're not worth the space to sell? Are they placed way up high on bookshelves where there is plenty of room but no one can see them way up there since we don't have eyeballs 10 feet high?

So for Tamiya to say that it hasn't made back the money on the Dragon Wagon may not be because it's not selling, but because there's none to sell at the LHS or the DW is "hidden" somewhere, or not within easy reach, or easy to see (the kit, box, and even the price) way up there.

Many factors involved here as to what sells and what doesn't. I wonder how many model companies/magazines actually did studies on these factors.
