Molds can be replaced. If this was an important space marine kit they'd make a new set of molds from the original master (or even a cast from the existing inventory) and continue production. But because it's only an Eldar kit it's not a priority, and any inconvenience at all means the end of production. And it's hardly "tinfoil hat" when it's pretty clear that, as 30k has become their entire focus, stuff from all the other product lines has been disappearing. IIRC there have even been explicit comments from FW staff about having limited space for inventory and molds, and discontinuing stuff to make room for 30k.
Well it's case of selling what customers want. If they want more HH than eldar then they would be stupid to sell eldar rather than HH.

That's one of the few exceptions, probably because most people just used normal drop pods as a proxy. Meanwhile model after model from non-marine product lines has disappeared. And support in rules, new products, etc, for anything but 30k has dropped to almost nothing. Aside from a couple Tau releases and a promise that someday there will be another 40k book it's been all 30k for a very long time.

This hasn't happened in a long time. GW figured out that there's no reason to release a plastic version of a resin kit (like the old Valkyrie, Piranha, etc) that people have already bought when they can make up a whole new plastic kit that nobody owns yet. The only exception is the plastic 30k space marines. And with things like flyers GW has had opportunities to use existing FW designs and rejected them in favor of new (and IMO much less appealing) plastic kits.
Actually a couple of weeks ago the D.Eldar Tantalus went sold out just as I got the funds for one(I am pretty sure I was the only person to notice,poor D.Eldar), I emailed FW a begging letter asking if they had 1 last one left around somewhere. They got back to me saying it was being repackaged and a week later it reappeared.
The dreaded Sold out is not a 100% death sentence, beside eldar corsairs and shadow spectres just show out of stock but still been missing nearly a year.

Technically, there's a difference between things going "out of stock" and being "sold out" :\ Speaking of " TEMPORARY out of stock", FW Corsair upgrade kit's been that way for a year now. And yet, we still hope for Red Scorpions& Mechanicum vs TAU...

That model may be the clincher for me. I have been wanting to play 30K for a while, but couldn't pick a Legion to play (cause they all look cool!). But with that helmet, oh man... I am now thinking Iron Warriors.

Like the trolls, unsure about some others.
The AoS models have been really well received, it's a shame that your hatred of a games system and company drives your agenda.

Where's the bait? Everything I said was a sincere opinion: the new Hobbit stuff looks good, the AoS stuff looks like trash, and it's a shame the community seems to have collectively ignored the LOTR games (which are better than WHFB ever was and have way better models than any of GW's other fantasy stuff).

I have no complaints, other than "how is that chest armor staying up?". Dwarves are very good, as well.

Why is Forge World wasting time on this dead franchise? It befuddles me. People are clamoring for Fires of Cyraxus, more Heresy models, and Xenos stuff... but here we are, getting models for a game pretty much no one plays.

Because it has quite a considerable following and is far from dead. And makes a pleasant change from yet more marines and heresy. Seriously, getting to boring with the umpteenth marine variation.
