I'd say limited editions and the discontinuing of someitems are the main problem. I guess the manufacturers feel that everyone who wants item X already has one, but what about new modellers? Certain types of freight car are now very poorly represented - intermodals in particular. Walthers have discontinued their Spine car, the Athearn 5-unit double stack will now only be available RTR at a massive price hike (has gone from £30 to over £70). The same goes for their single-car double stacks, though admittedly these now come with containers.
