So I was on the GW website last night when I noticed that the SM Drop Pod is listed as "no longer available online".

The wording seems to imply that GW have ceased producing the kit. If it was temporarily out of stock shouldn't the wording reflect that?

I know this kind of thing happens from time to time, often it can just mean that the item in question is getting repackaged, but I can't recall it happening to something as ubiquitous as a Space Marine transport vehicle.

They're known for misleading stuff when it comes to out of stock/out of production.

Give it a month, then worry. Or if in need of them, start raiding your local stores ASAP, just in case

Maybe they are repackaging it with a huuuuge base

They fit nicely on the old large blast marker, so 5” would do nicely. Solve some of those “are the doors part of the hull” arguments.

Maybe we'll get a new data sheet and - here's an idea - a new strategem in the box?

Could potentially fix some of the mopey SM issues.

Or break the game in half because, y'know, geederps...

The great British Drop Pod Famine?
The US store doesn’t have them marked as “Sold Out Online”, just the UK store.
Edit: Or am I supposed to make a Brexit joke here?

We leave brexit jokes to the government these days, who knew the conservative party could be such good comedians....

It would be lovely to have a Drop pod model that fits together like the more recent ones do.

We could fill an entire forum section with posts regarding things that are out of stock at the time someone tries to buy it...

The Space Marine drop pod isn't going away, come on.
