Champion meat packing plant out of production?

I found this packing plant on ebay. The auction states that it is out of production?.  But I notice that the stockyard and main packing house is still available seperately.  Are all the structures that came with this kit available seperately?

Walthers did list this for a short time as Out of Production (OOP)  I don't know if it was a typo or what.  But it seems to be available all over the place now.

And I wouldn't buy from Advanced Rail Systems on eBay.  His prices are way out of line even on OOP.  I feel sorry for the guy who buys from him.  Even a guy with pockets like me wouldn't even consider it.

 Yep, you're right about that guy. He has an auction now for the packing plant kit with stockyard for $200.  Heck I just ordered both seperatly and paid about $60 for both.
