Freestyle still has Astia in stock, but while searching for a source of Quickload film, I ran across this website:
http://www.japanexposures.com/shop/index.php?cPath=28
Evidentally, some folks are buying the "discontinued" Quickloads from Japan at a premium. I was surprised to see the "discontinued" Astia product there as well. Unfortunately no Fortia - I'd love to try a roll of that stuff.

Thanks for the link.

Worth noting is that when Fuji discontinued Astia 120, they said they'd have stock to ship through March of this year. So it's still available, but time is probably running short.

What I did notice, though, was that they still have some 35mm Sensia 100... which, I believe, is the same emulsion as Astia and was discontinued at the same time. At $129/10 rolls I'm not sure if I'll take the plunge, but intriguing.

BTW, Quickloads have been "discontinued" for several years but they're still being sold in Japan.
