I wonder what happened to Cyber Hobby? I haven't seen anything new from them in long time. Does Dragon not produce anything under CH name anymore?

Guess they decided they didn't need two labels to rebox kits under?

Sorry. Someone had to say it.

I know, but Cyber Hobby used to come out with some really neat stuff. Now it is only the run of the mill kits... nothing to make us run for the wallet and get that new kit with all options, PE and many extras. Not complaining, just wondering.

Well we used to have the limited run "premium" white box cyber-hobby kits and the re-run cheaper orange box cyber-hobby kits where they throw in a figure set or now some DS stowage.

But I agree they seem to have gotten away from the white box kits. Lately they have released some kits that were originally white box limited run kits with minor changes
