Tamiya 23ml Arcylic paint shortage??

[cyberkid]

I went into a lhs yesterday looking to refill my stock, but was shocked to see that they only had 10ml jars. They told me that the 23ml line was discontinued, what ever I saw on shelves in other stores where remaining stock... and when checking TamiyaUsa they had "Temporarily not in stock" listed behind 90% of the 23ml bottles..
Does anyone know whats going on? I mean, is it a temp problem or is it discontinued for good?

From the UK.
I was in Modelzone (largish - maybe the only UK chain store) the other day and they didn't seem to have any acrylic jar problem. They didn't have the TS sprays as expected by they did have the primers. Supposition on my part is that Tamiya are holding all paints until ALL labelling is fixed and brought in line with each other.

Just a guess, mind you.
