It's just weird. The venomthrope disappeared off the website like Tuesday or so of last week.

There's no way they'd take that out. We just got our new codex in Jan. If it's out of stock it's out of stock. I know some of us are hoping it's going to plastic instead of finecast, but who knows.

Here is the N&R thread collecting all such incidences:

Tell that to the ten or so topics about this I've seen that lead to asking GW and then creating this topic.

I do in most of them

If you feel it's worth a news post you can take it, I was just trying to curb the multiple threads about the topic here.

Most companies like back orders because it helps create a more realistic forecast for your next production run.

Under UK consumer law, however, you must fulfil mail orders within 28 days. Perhaps GW can't manufacture in small enough quantities to let them take back orders.

They do have stuff that has goes Out of Stock for near a month, so perhaps with all the new model kits that's gotten even worse.

I'm hoping they reach the tipping point where expanding production isn't a money sink for them pretty soon.

Because an out of stock tag and grey out is too difficult.

When you have no plans of continuing to produce the model in that particular medium or to produce that model period, why bother?

Or when they have no intention to make it any time soon. My money is on them eventually getting around to it, just don't hold your breath cause it's gonna be a loooooong time.

The posh Knight decal sheet went unavailable for a bit (which I had a vested interest in as my box one fell victim to a coffee spill and the ones on eBay were sporadic and a tad too rich for my blood) and I suspected they'd sold out and that was that.

They've recently become available again though, so it really is baffling as to exactly what criteria the SKU needs to fulfil to be listed as unavailable, rather than "ships in x weeks" when OOS, considering GW have almost total control over their own production for almost everything they sell.

That's nice.
