I went to go and buy the xenos specimen tanks from forge world and aside from noticing the nice new layout, I cant find the specimen tanks. Does anyone know what is up? I have emailed them twice about the specimen tanks and have not received an answer. If they aren't making them anymore anyone know of another company that makes specimen tanks?

No idea, Mrphunk.

I want to know why FW has GW plastic kits listed on their site. If you're gonna buy at full price, wouldn't you do it straight from GW?

I noticed that as well but I think they are like a subsidiary so that's why.

Might be back in a few days, they just launched the new website and are still working on it.

They have always sold them, it kinda makes sense to me. One order, one payment, one package to track down in the mail.
It can be a neat way of boosting you into the free postage bracket.
It's quite an odd selection of kits but the kits that they do sell seem to be upgradeable with their resin pieces.
There are plenty more GW kits that they could stock but then where would they stop?

That's it exactly. They have always sold the kits that go with their upgrade sets.
