is the revell mid/late 70s chevy/gmc discontinued

is the revell mid/late 70s chevy/gmc discontinued? I am talking about the 78 gmc pickup with plow, the 76 chevy stepside and the gmc big game pickup? i saw they are not in stock at hobbylobby, on amazon they are way overpriced by scalpers.

 

i was able to find 2 of the big game pickup and 1 of the chevy stepside at my local hobby lobby, but they didnt have the gmc with plow.   I dont need anymore now that i found it at my local hobby lobby, but i am curious if this is discontinued now?

 

im not going to build the big game pickup with the giant tires, but i wanted to get it in case it is discontinued. i am sure i can find some normal sized tires in my stock pile

The US website doesn't appear to have a store function so I would say no. 

With that said, Hobby Lobby has an online store and the plow truck is shown on the site. Starting tomorrow the models will be 40% off and if your order is over $50 you will get free shipping so it may be a better option if you can't find them locally.

"Discontinued" seems a bit strong.  For the last few decades, all the plastic models kits are "limited run" type of production.  Manufacturer produces a run of models, and then mothballs the molds for some indeterminate amount of time.  The modeler's motto is "if you want some kit buy right when it is released, as later that kit will disappear from the hobby store shelves, and fetch outrageous prices on auction sites".  Only back in the "good ol' days" kits festered on hobby store shelves for years. That hasn't been true for quite some time.
