I've had problems with Maplin in the past obsoleting one range before
the new range is available. There is a rumour that they are going to
stop stocking small components in the shops and that they will have top
be ordered in. This has been denied by a Maplin representative in
another forum.

Rumour? I think it's gone beyond that...

I was in the Stockport branch a couple of months back wanting a few
resistors, capacitors and various other sc's etc - they advised me they
no longer stock these items and would have to be ordered.

They did however have a smoke machine, numeours PC cases full of
fluoresecent tubes or a radio controlled boat should I have so desired.
