I was wondering about that. Why would you limit sales?

Century Wings does the same thing for their 1/72 diecast models. Look at it this way, the mold for the 1/18 Tomcat must have been extremely expensive to tool, maybe just the CAG version of the Black Knights is limited to 1,000 pieces, while the low viz or other versions are produced in much higher numbers. What I am trying to get at, is since the mold was so expensive, I am sure Kawai will make even more versions of the Tomcat to make up for the expensive cost to make it. I think this will just be the first of many. The actual squadron scheme for the first release has not been confirmed as of yet.

This is going to be the biggest aircraft ever released in a 1/18 scale toy line. I think it will be a long time before anything bigger is released, as this is significantly larger than the current, largest 1/18 jet toy on the market(BBI's F/A-18C Hornet).
