    The line's been out of print for a while, so places like HLJ and AmiAmi only have very specific kits (like Minerva) or the Rinding Sousa packs, with sort of defeat the purpose of cheap model kits.

    Give Mandarake a try, they seem to stock on them at more or less retail price.

    Bandai has been selling them in the States under the Sprukits line.

    But be warned, the sprukits are the basic ones. The really nice ones from Japan with proper inner frames I got from amazon, they run $30 to $90 depending on the rarity of the kit there.

    Like you said, they hid the good ones in their Level 2 category. the Toys R Us website keeps flipping between showing them and not showing them, but if you go to a local store they should have them regardless.

    Are they even doing LBX anymore? Last I saw, the only recent Sprukits were TMNT.

    I haven't seen anything and Sprukits may be done for too after TMNT.
