Don't know if anyone seen this yet, but Kobelco announced that they are introducing six new excavators in 2019 with 2 to be introduced with the real machines during Bauma 2019. One of them is a Kobelco SK850LC-10 that will be offered in teal, and USA Yellow during the show by Conrad in 1/50th scale. I am looking forward to this one because I missed the boat with the Case CX800, and Link-Belt 800X2 that they did, and need to add an excavator this size in my collection. https://www.kobelcofanshop.com/en/blogs/scale-model-blog/new-models-in-2019/

Thanks for the heads up on the new Kobelco Models that are coming out. Also I seen that they have received another shipment of the ED160BR's Blade Runners in American Yellow colors in 1/50 scale. Those were a very hot item and a very nice model. I know they were totally out of stock on these before Christmas.

I wonder if those models are exclusive to the Kobelco Fan shop.
EDIT:
I am going to answer my own question.
NO, they are not exclusive to the Kobelco Fan shop. I bought the ED 160 on Ebay for a lot less and 1/3 of their Rip-off shipping cost.

I have asked Kobelco about the situation regarding the ED160 being exclusive and they have told me that the models should be exclusive, and only available to purchase from the fanshop. The models that have appeared on Ebay have been released from the factory that produced them, either as rejects/seconds or against the licensing agreement with Ros
