You can only buy them through chinese dealers (that's how we proceeded), they are really fun to play with, can work with them like the real ones we use (only the tracks can not be operated as the same time as the rest or you'll need another set of hands LOL !!!) very fragile though, but a great addition to your Komatsu fleet !!! Scale wise looks good ...But beware, some craps on Ebay sells them as much as $750 US, they worth only between $150 and $200 plus S&H.. This looks like the new version, with bucket and tracks in metal...

I didn't think it was die-cast. Check ebay, I've seen them on there every once and awhile.

They've shown up on the DHS open house auction ;). I got to play with one of them at the 2010 open house.

As stated by my contact in Corea where I bought 2 last year the newer version supports a diecast bucket and metal tracks, but I didn't had the chance to see them myself...
