Correct. Shopify has a plugin that allows affiliate link integration via Aliexpress, and that product was just a test to see how it works. Ultimately I'd like to get around to adding a bunch of useful product suggestions there.

Curious you seem to be asking that question to either myself or GraXXoR, when it's rather clear that neither one of us are aware of any mention of product discontinuation. You didn't even link to any post citing discontinuation. And as you said, the website has not been updated, still showing inventory, which makes no sense if a product has been discontinued.

It wasn't directed at anyone in particular. It was just me rhetorically commenting that I *thought* I'd heard something about availability being in question. I didn't link anything because I wasn't even sure I'd heard that, just that I seemed to recall it. Obviously if I were sure and had a link, I wouldn't have expressed it as a question.
Many store listings, including Dave's, often keep products that are permanently or at least indefinitely out of stock. That's not unusual, whether it makes sense or not. If something never comes into stock, then one can argue it's discontinued (if they're the manufacturer, anyway). Again, uCurrent Gold is a good example. It's been OOS for years and Dave has suggested he may not make/sell any more.

But Kane have advised that they are basically using up their remaining stock of parts, and I get the vibe that once that's done they might not want to make it any more.

This is probably what I'd heard/read somewhere and was remembering.

I am updating the purchase links in the text description under my 121GW Review video now, Dave. But even though I see the FUSE PACK on your new shop site, it has been out of stock for at least a year and as long as I can remember. And news about availability?

Same issue with the Soft Case for 121GW too:

Cases are at the local port, so will have them next week.
Fuses I need to order again, no ETA on that.
J-R:
Welectron has the including/excluding VAT pricing clearly listed. So 121GW + Brymen silicon test leads (the default if you simply add it to your cart) is $239.74USD delivered to USA via DHL Express Worldwide (less than a week).
121GW from Dave direct is $223.68USD delivered to USA via Sendle International (Estimated delivery Tuesday, Jan 2–Monday, Jan 29) or DHL Expresss Zone 4 for a couple dollars more (sssent by sssnake? no ETA listed).
So pricing is not too drastically different. It also fluctuates with the exchange rates, which you can gamble with if you like. I personally like Welectron because I can add fuses, test leads, carrying cases, etc. to my order and save on shipping.
