I just chatted with Support because in the US, Yellow, Purple and Lavender have been removed from the store. If you go into the other worldwide stores, most still have these colors available.
When asked what had happened to these filaments. supports answer to me was that those 3 colors had been discontinued and the availability in other worldwide store was based on demand for them in that country. On closer inspection of other countries stores, it appears that other colors still available in in the US have been removed from those store.
Are they trying to get rid of the ABS like they did to PETG Basic? I find this way of handling this so underhanded or did I miss some announcement that they were discontinuing colors?

Given how they handled discontinuing past filaments, I can see that hey might be gearing up to discontinue their ABS, probably for a high flow version. They don’t announce it and eventually put the notice in their store once stock gets low enough. Glad you pointed this out since I recently started migrating my filament over to Bambu’s, specifically ABS. Looks like I really should quit while I’m ahead and stay with Polymaker so I don’t have to worry about suddenly losing my ability to purchase the filaments I use.
As an aside, I was excited to see that they were about the only company willing to sell filament swatches so that we could have examples on hand. Big reason why I started purchasing their filament. The filament swatches I purchased are quickly becoming worthless as they are moving so quickly to discontinue and bring in new filaments. So now I’m no longer excited.
