See, this is why the whiners who had him should have just shut up

It's likely that they were just selling whatever stock was left over.

Yay.. the soulless donkey-caves who were whining about the model losing its value on ebay can rejoice again.

nooo, i was gonna buy him, even though i play Dark eldar, just because the model is so awesome!!

Exactly!

I held off on ordering because I didn't see a release date. Man. Not gonna do that again.

Learned you good!

Yep. Next time something potentially limited gets put up, I'm ordering 5 that day.

Bastardo, was hoping for another, for a conversion I had planned.

Thanks to the whiners who had him and cry and cry and email GW to protest. Now we are screwed :(. Enjoy your money. But I hope someday the karma hits two or three mouths

I had actually planned to order one tomorrow. Tomorrow for feth's sake.

you mean that plasma gun inquisitor awesome guy is gone again?!
aw, man. I was going to get it this weekend. Now I'll have to look in ebay or something... dammit....

Glad I got one when they came out originally.

Oh no. I've already emailed them.

This injustice will not stand.

He will be a general release model, just to screw over every EBayer!

Gave my FLGS owner my order today with him in it... hope it went through... find out Friday! *crosses fingers*

As someone said before, no matter what GW does, we all lose something.

Stupid GW is keeping that awesome model "limited" so they can please some no-morals price-gougers happy?

That's a rather spurious moral judgment. So anyone who purchases a limited edition item because it's collectible, Warhammer or otherwise, has no morals? Amazing what irrational ideas one sees on these forums. I guess everyone who buys collectible action figures, plates, Pez dispensers, Beanie Babies, Magic Cards, classic automobiles, antique furniture, baseball cards, etc. and has ever hung onto them to see their value appreciate before selling them is immoral. Ridiculous beyond words unless one thinks the entire concept of collectibles itself is immoral.

Heh, heh, heh, what a burn. It was limited in the first place and putting it back up for sale was an error. That error has now been corrected as well as ending the ridiculous arguments over what "limited" means. GW is keeping it limited to keep their promise that it was limited when they first sold it.

And the collectibility of the two I own has been restored and all is right with the universe. I'll be painting one soon for my Grey Knights army, which was how I always intended to use the model. Now to decide what to do with the spare that is still new in blister.

Oh, and many thanks to whomever called up and pointed out the error to GW. "We are building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude. You have our gratitude!" - Kentucky Fried Movie

No, read what I said: "no-moral price-gougers"

Being a price gouger his having no moral. Buying a LE mini because you like to collect, paint or model is quite correct. I even encourage my gaming group to buy nice minis out of their army range just to practice painting new themes and style.

Buying a LE mini just for it's sheer re-sale value is being scum of the earth. By doing this, your bring nothing to the community. You're just being parasitic to fellow players/modeler. To give you a non-gaming example (as a pharmacist): some pharmaceutical company buy patents to unique medication, jack the price 10% and re-license them. They don't do a single ounce of research (like developer companies), or cut prices by opening the patent (like generic drug companies). They produce nothing, they just profit off other people.

Gork damnit. I was at the local GW to order one today and it was gone.

Legitimate reason to recast and sell them, folks. Recasters, pease fire up the molds and get them on eBay.
