STATEMENT FROM RICOH IMAGING AMERICAS:
The announcement made by Ricoh Imaging Co., Ltd. on January 20, 2022 regarding a revamped approach to Ricoh’s digital camera manufacturing and distribution was specific to the local market in Japan only. “Ricoh/Pentax will not change its distribution structure in North America, and the company has significant plans and goals for the North America market this year that will utilize mass production of its products,” said Kazumichi Eguchi, President, Ricoh Imaging Americas Corporation. “Customers in North America can continue to purchase Ricoh and Pentax cameras through our authorized dealers and directly via our website: https://us.ricoh-imaging.com/.
Guessing that applies to EU/UK as well.
Oh dear. So I won't be able to order a green and pink striped K3iii with flippy screen, 26 programmable user-modes, 56K video, 3 interchangeable sensors and hand-carved by artisans out of a single block of hardwood from a sustainable forest. STATEMENT FROM RICOH IMAGING AMERICAS:

Heaven!
but the date seems the same every year, 1st April. It may be that the connotations of that date mean nothing to the Japanese.
