Interesting thought. But Pentaximaging, (Pentax USA), just with the last month or so removed the K-x and K-7 from their web sites a current products, and those products were out of production quite some time ago. If Pentax is trying to get get rid of excess stock of K-r cameras I would have expected a rumor or a replacement, so far NADA.

In my opinion it's attempt to get product back into Walmart stores next to Nikon and Canon so the masses start thinking about Pentax as a player again.

According to rumours* the K-r has been discontinued so this may be run-out

get rid of stocks of the old model before introducing a new one that is 
probably the safest way.

*well, okay, the rumours were on the PentaxForum, but not all of them wear 
tinfoil hats

Pentax announced today on fb:
"The K-r digital SLR will be available soon exclusively on walmart.com
in limited edition pink, purple, blue, green, yellow, navy, metallic
brown, gold and silver. "

Interesting.  At first glance, I thought maybe a promising step
towards getting Pentax stock into stores... but then I realized
"walmart.com"... Maybe not such a big deal after all.  But, if they
have the Hello Kitty edition...

Don't lose heart!  They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a 
lengthily search.
