Couldn't help but notice this last night. I know that at least last week the DKoK Infantry squads were just listed as 'out of stock'. Now, however, they've been removed from the site completely.

This is interesting to me. I e-mailed FW last week to see when the infantry would be back in stock, and the response:

"Hi Jake,

Thank you for your email. We hope to have all of the Death Korps of Kreig kits back on sale in the next few weeks.


If there is anything further we can do to assist you, or if you have any queries about the information we have requested or provided, please telephone us.

Soooo...is removing the models from the website part of putting them back on sale, or is something else going on?

I imagine it's just a case of the molds wearing out and needing replacing. It's better for them removing the models from sale than delivering poor casts or having a huge waiting list. Nothing to worry about.

Well, you asked them right?
There is no reason to assume they are lying when they say they are putting them back on sale in a few weeks.

Why would they remove them permanently.

They sell well, almost always one put of stock at any time!

Yeah, I wasn't saying they lied to me or anything. I was just curious if it was SOP for FW to completely remove models from the website until it came back in stock.
