Subject: Mantic Store Missing Products? But available elsewhere?

So I was looking at the Mantic Store, and I noticed that quite a few products were missing e.g. Ax horde (the 40 orc one), Soul Reavers and Linche for the undead range but was available on dark sphere. Is this because of Mantic moving premises at the moment or do they not make them any more?
Any info would be much appreciated.

Liche is OOP, some stores may still have stock.

I'm not sure about Soul Reavers, I don't think so. A lot of the plastic stuff has been repackaged since it was first released to better reflect the unit sizes available in the game, this may have been what's happened to the Orcs. Other stores may still have stock of the old unit size boxes.

The 15 and 30 boxes of Orc Ax are I believe OOP and replaced with a 20 (really 21) box.

I am really glad that I have mine already, then - that lich is a wonderfully dynamic model.

They're on a two week premises move right now and their warehouse is closed. I doubt they'll be updating anything outside of social media channels until everything's settled down for them. again. Automatically Appended Next Post: Also, I found a post I made on the Mantic forum during the "Santa's Spring Clean" sale where I stated
"I make Liche King, Vamp on Pegasus and Soul Reavers OOS, everything else is fine. "
So it looks like Soul Reavers did disappear at that point as well.

Orc Hordes come in 30s though, so the box set will reflect that (also the sprue has 3 orcs, so you'll just get 10 with no spare guys).
The 40-model 'krudghorde' unit in the rules is a sop to anybody who bought the older box and wants to field all their models, or anyone who has bought up a ton of sprues and wants the higher nerve.
In short, I doubt the 40-model box will ever be made available again, and I reckon it was another casualty of Santa.
