I've received confirmation from Rainbow-10 that Gunze Sangyo have discontinued all the H-300 and up Aqueous Hobby colours. Just a heads up for those who use them. Apparantly the Aqueous Hobby colours have always enjoyed far more limited sales than the Mr Color laquers, which according to them continue to sell "very well". I had the kind of feeling that although the Aqueous acrylics are what they're known for worldwide, their major market remains Japan where the laquer is king. Doesn't bother me, the Mr Color laquers are all I use anyway, but it's bad news for the acrylic users.
