I just want a 1/32 A6M3 with square wingtips...  is there one out there that isn't resin?

Not in 1/32,nope.  There isn’t even a 1/32 resin kit of the A6M3 Model 32.

It looks to me like those are the old tool kits.

No. Both of the Hasegawa Zero kits offered for 40% off the listed price are both new-took kits:

A6M5c - https://spruebrothers.com/has08257-1-32-hasegawa-mitsubishi-a6m5c-zero-fighter-type-52-hei-252nd-flying-group-with-air-to-air-bombs/

A6M5b - https://spruebrothers.com/has08259-1-32-hasegawa-mitsubishi-a6m5b-zero-fighter-type-52-otsu-653rd-flying-group-/

 

This is the old-tool (ancient-tool?) Hasegawa Zero kit, and it is NOT part of that "clearance sale":

https://spruebrothers.com/has08054-1-32-hasegawa-mitsubishi-a6m5c-zero-fighter/

 

This is exactly why those new-tool Hasegawa Zero kit don't sell as well as they should - people don't know what they're looking at, especially when the new-tool and old-tool kits are being sold side by side. Hasegawa really shot themselves in the foot with that strategy.

I stand corrected ,looked in the wrong place. I do in fact know the difference between the new tool and the old tool as I've built the new tool [ very nice and simple kit] It sits along side of my Tamiya M5. i wanted another M5 and didn't want to put up with the complexity and goofy "working  features".  Agreed they kind of blew it on the pricing.
