Last time I was at my LHS I noticed they still hadnt restocked their line of TopCoat. When I was paying for my things I asked them about it. I had an empty can with me and showed it to them. One of the guys mentioned that Mr. Hobby no longer makes the small blue spray can of TopCoat. Is that true? If so, what other clear coat does Mr. Hobby have that is closest to their TopCoat (according to hirofkd, a water-soluble acrylic clear)?

They haven't quit making it; but I do know that Stevens Int'l, a hobby distributor, dropped the Gunze/Mr. Hobby line of paint recently because there's something in the paint that makes it illegal to sell in the US. So that's likely why your LHS isn't getting it anymore. You can still buy it from HLJ, where it's in-stock. The US prices for it were insane anyway, it's cheaper just to buy a few cans from HLJ when making a kit purchase to stock up.
