How old is your 420ex?  I don't know, but according to Wikipedia it was replaced by the 430ex in 2005, so at least 10 years.

The 420EX is very old.  I don't know exactly when it was released but the product manual is copyright 2000... so it's certainly been around a while.

As Skirball points out... it was replaced by the 430EX in 2005.  

The 430EX was replaced by the 430EX II in 2008.

The 430EX II is still sold today (and it's a great flash.)
