If this has already been discussed, pardon me.

I went through the GW web store looking for prices on goodies and notice the volume of items out of stock. Seems they didn't make enough models to keep up with demand. Is this army really that hot?

They've been supremely broken for at least as long as 8th edition ruleset has been out right? And 8th dropped in 2010....

I've heard some great things about what they've got, but I don't know enough about WHFB to make a judgement call.

What? Maybe you're thinking of HE or DE. WE just now got an army book update, the first in nearly 10 years. They were never a broken army, and appear to be well balanced like the rest of the 8th edition books.

I really hope the WE stuff is sold out. GW only cares about the bottom line, so that is pretty much the best possible thing that could happen to WE.

I meant they were broken as they were nearly unplayable without a new book

They have been updating a lot of the models to resin. I am kinda disappointed but a lot of the models I wanted metal versions of are unavailable as I predicted.

Not just Wood Elves models

The latest 40k ork model went from resin to plastic, so I think we're seeing a shift in the way thing are going down the road.

I can't speculate on what's going on with the WE stuff (future plastic, resin or what), but GW is clearly dropping the ball. They should have planned for this.
