I received a reply to my Umarex email requesting information on the Diana RWS LP8. They confirmed ( what many may have already known ) that the LP8 has been discontinued.

I feel very fortunate to have finally located a carbine after contacting many of the larger outlets looking for one.

I don't understand why they discontinued this model. It shoot great out of the box, ( after determining what pellet it likes ), all metal,well made and really fun to shoot.

I have heard the Umerex will be getting out of the springer business to concentrate on PCP's.

I don't think Diana has cancelled it:

I emailed Umarex on January 4th concerning a problem with my RWS-460.  All I hear are crickets.

They are slow at answering emails. I think it took them a week to get back to me. And that was pre COVID-19.

Have you tried calling them, I believe ext 7 gets you to a "gun tech".

I have tried emailing them to get prices on parts.  I've even included part numbers.  The standard response is to call them.  I never bothered.  I can get most parts elsewhere and I'm not a fan of hold.

I emailed them last week asking about getting parts for my Walther Parrus.
I received a reply today asking me to call with the part number I want to purchase.
They did include a PDF of the Parts Diagram for the Parrus which I needed.
