What's up with this?

Not just a not available atm but a full on OUT OF STOCK?

or is it just a store only item?

Its still available on the US site. Weird.

Probably 8th generating sales and rather than make people wait they took it down while they make more.

Until recently sales have been poor don't forget so they won't have massive amounts of any kit, warehouse space isn't free.

"Out of stock" only means out of stock, not "the sky is falling".

Each print run uses the same set of machines, just with different molds. GW runs enough of one specific model to fill their stock based on expected future sales, then switches the molds to another model line to run that stock, then another, etc.. When GW runs out of a specific stock due to whatever reason, they need to wait for that specific model's run to start process before they can re-stock. So,

"Out of stock" =/= "We're DOOMED!"

It means, "Oops, didn't expect to sell them all this soon".

If you actually look, it says "No Longer Available Online" it doesn't say "Currently out of Stock" which is what it says when it's just that.

As for the US site having WraithLords and not the UK site, as I understand it, each 'online site' is basically a separate business, so the UK site has their own stock and the US site has a different stock. So if they are planning on a new Wraithlord model that means only the boxes left in inventory are what remains, The US site would still have some in stock, and the UK site would be out. From some of the release dates floating around, it seems that the Eldar are getting their codex and some new releases in August which means they may be getting a few new minis with it.

That could mean they've got a new model planned for the wraithlord. If the Eldar codes is one of the first 8th ed codicies, they could have a bunch of new models coming out.

Oh boy oh boy! I can't wait to have bought into one of the earliest released and thus weakest army of this edition, for the third edition running!

I may have a bad habit, but it's one based on a lack of divination!

Also, sauce?

I've also noticed that the Daemonetts and Plaguebearers are no longer available on the US site.

A better question is, whats not out of stock online?

Basically 90% of what I want to buy is currently out of stock, and it's been out of stock for a while.
