I've been looking to find be some Tamiya X-20 thinner, it seems that nobody has this in stock. Has anyone else seen this problem?

It's hard to find recently. Especially the big bottle of it. I'm out as well.
Some at Sprue Bros.

None at Squadron or Scale Hobbyist.

Hobbylinc site has them out of stock but it did say you can pre-order them. I checked in several sites and all say they're out of stock. Pretty unusual coming from Tamiya.
I still have the big bottle of the stuff unopened. I'll sell it for $10,0000 and it's yours. Shipping is free. LOL!

I found it at Hobbyworld-USA, they have the large bottles for about $9.50 plus shipping.

Not sure how youd go about getting it to Idaho. But its there.

Looks like June for all Tamiya thinners. Had to go through another cycle of lable approval with Global Chemical
Labeling Alliance. Most paints are now back except AS spray colors and the Thinners.

Thank you, Glen @ House of Hobbies"

Licensing approval? Negotiations? What changed?
