As far as the US goes, when I last talked to Coleman (current owners of Camping Gaz) they have no intentions of importing the 106 canisters again. However, they are available in Europe, where the Globetrotter was a pretty popular seller in years past. The Globetrotter stoves and lanterns were never big sellers in North America, and the appliances that take the puncture-type canisters are no longer manufactured by Camping Gaz (aka Bleuet). The Camping Gaz website does not currently list any of the Globe Trotter appliances, nor does it list the 106 canisters, although it lists 10 different cartridges and cylinders (3 of which are refillable propane types).

One of several reasons for discontinuing the puncture-style appliances is the regulations in many of the European countries that forbid them, for practical purposes. Another reason for Coleman was to rationalize and simplify their line of butane mix appliances (they have 5 or 6 different couplings for canisters). There are enough of the S200 and S206 appliances still out there that there are several suppliers of these. The rest of their butane appliances use variants of the Lindahl-style valve, which can be detached while still containing fuel (270/470 style, industry "standard" screw-on, the Xtreme series, a small canister for table-top burners for picnics that I have also seen in "cook at your table" restaurants).

Several of the Euro camping and climbing gear web-based shops appear to have the canisters, but won't ship them to the US. But maybe others will.
