What happened to MV Products lenses?

Question

What happened to MV Products lenses? Went to get some and nobody (or few actually) folks seem to have them.

I was able to find some 128 and 136 ones, mostly clear with a few black and red. But I remember when these were like the coolest accessory ever. Honestly I couldn?t figure out what size I needed and there never seemed to be a good reference. 2 days ago I found out what sizes work best. Now of course they seem hard to find.

Walther?s is low stock with unknown restock dates. Other guys claim they got ?em and can get more, even though MV has gotten slow.

I got mine from Sprue Brothers and a railroad model shop I?d never heard of until I did a web search.

Anyone have the real poop?

: What happened to MV Products lenses? Went to get some and nobody (or few : actually) folks seem to have them.: 	My understanding is that Walthers is trying to strong-arm    their suppliers into bar coding everything. If you have seen    a MV lens package, you know there is little room for a bar    code, and I doubt they want to undertake the expense of adding    a bar code.	Model railroad shops may be a good place to try, I suppose    it depends on who they get their product from...							Bruce
