The High Elf Spearhead was never released in the US, which is why a lot of people never heard of it.
Like many people have said, the Spearheads are basically one of each new unit (one box/blister), intended for people who already have the army but just want to pick up the new figs in one shot. I think they're a good idea, but criticizing them for not being a good army core is like criticizing your aunt for not being your uncle.
As for the VC, I agree the Dire Wolves actually make me appreciate the current meh Dire Wolves. The Ghouls are weird-lookin'. The Corpse Cart is unbelieveably awesome and makes up for everything else. I love it with my whole body, including my pee-pee.
