The eternal rumor is that some dufus at Marui's assembly plant "Dropped the mold" for the RDS receiver. The mold was broken, and they were unable to produce the upper assembly of the P90. That was almost a year ago. Inventories around the world quickly emptied of the P90, and people (like me) have resigned to buying the TR version due to Marui's tall on promise, short on delivery of the new P90s --("Summer of 2005! ,err...sorry we meant FALL of 2005!!!.....no, no, just kidding! Really, though WINTER 2005!!....ummm...spring of 2006? maybe?.....")
If you're looking at a P90, go for the TR. it has the EG1000 motor, and gets a higher ROF than the RDS, which had a EG700. I wouldn't hold your breath for the RDS being re-relased any time soon. There are a couple of places that have details on how to convert the TR to take an aftermarket metal upper receiver that can take either the Mauri RDS or the Real steel FN sight.
