Just found out it is true.

there was a thread about this not long ago, sounds like the actual ASIC (the Integrated Circuits) used in the PFC are being phased out by the chip supplier (NEC I think it is) so the PFC will need to be completly redesigned with a new ASIC in place.

dont worry guys I have bought a couple as spares or to sell before the price goes up with its replacement

[Kevin]

Was going to wait till next year to order one, but i\'ve just ordered one from nengun.  Â£385 PFC+commander delivered.  Hope I dont get stung for customs! :?

You maybe lucky but it depends who handles the delivery in this country, if its Parcel Force then you have to pay 10 percent import duty plus VAT plus an admin charge before they realise it from their depot, if its DHL they will deliver it to you then send a customs invoice later

[probedb]

£385 is still a decent price

[Kevin]

You can pay an extra 1000yen and have them repack it before it\'s delivered.  Which is what i\'ve done, so fingers crossed!

EDIT: They\'ve just emailed saying estimated delivery date is 12th December.  Not bad.

Lets hope customs dont open it up as they will be busy with the Christmas international post

its more like 23% on top of total price including shipping

Reading about this some more, there is mixed opinion on what is actually happening.  It appears that some of them are being discontinued and some arent??

The 3S-GTE MR-2 has been discontinued now. (Haha)

It doesnt actually say anything about the RX7 being stopped??.... Also found out that the 96-> Power FC is just a AP engineering version of the 91-95 PowerFC....  Dont know wether thats true or not??

What was your total price to your door Chris?

Looks like Nengun is the way to go
