Topic says it all. That seems like a very odd choice on GWs part.

Was gonna ask for a source but it certainly says no longer available on the website rather than temp out of stock.

im hoping this means a fresh cut transport kit.

considering the rhino is old as dirt.

This topic realy doesn't say it all. What are you talking about its available on their own website? Are you sure you are not just talking about a local stock management issue?

Then comes along the frakking Spinosaurus who kills the T-rex, and the movie says "LOVE THIS NOW! HE IS BETTER" But...in your heart, you love the T-rex, who shouldn't have lost to no stupid Spinosaurus. So you hate the movie. And refuse to love the Spinosaurus because it is a hamfisted attempt at taking what you loved, making it TREX +++ and trying to sell you it.

Before worrying too much about a key kit disappearing remember that "no longer available" on this sort of thing often means "being re-packaged with a different product ID code".

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

Considering none of the derivatives (Predator, Whirlwind, Razorback!, etc.) are unavailable, there's nothing to worry about. Probably just a reboxing with the new datasheets.

Oh - look! Marine bikes are back in stock

Exactly this.

A few months ago dark eldar venoms and harlequins troops became "No longer available" and I started thinking about the possibility of promoting a new elves line of models, because those kits were basic stuff. Of course I was wrong, the same kits became available once again after a while with a new box.

Quite the opposite. Old marines get new uptaded boxes. They're far from being phased out.

Sure, but those will soon be phased out too.

Would be nice for retailers if they consolidated the rhino kits into 1 or 2 boxes...

(What would those boxes be?
Razorback, Rhino & Predator
Hunter, Whirlwind & Vindicator?)

A company with a decent business model would never have a product they actually have in stock appear to be unavailable for any reason.

They would at the very least only remove part of their stock to make the required packing changes leaving some of their old stock available to sell (probably just holding back the average amount bought per day or however long the repacking project would take) and repackage everything else.

More than likely they actually ran out of stock and had to make more kits.

GW is currently having production issues due to some major rennovations at their factory. I imagine that's bottle necking things.

In such a situation it would have been marked as "Temporarily out of stock Online"...

I thought some people thought it was for repackaging. It would be interesting to know though - did rhino get a repackage?

Since you're almost certainly getting the same rhino but with the current datasheet in the box I would suggest that you prepare for disappointment.

Just to put this one to rest, all Rhinos are once again available in the GW Online Store.
