Try to buy a Pentax Film camera, even B&H doesn't have them in stock. There aren't any available in any local shops, or big box stores either. Last actual Pentax Film camera I saw around here was in Sears about two years ago. Hell, I just a search on the Pentax *ist 35mm, and the MZ/ZX M, both show as being available, /somewhere/ by the Pentax Japan, (English), product page. Used? Yes. New? Nada, Zippo, made of Unobtainium, which was my point. Bob thought that the Pentax USA web site was unreliable and pointed me to the Japanese site. I believe based on the evidence that it's just as unreliable.
