They show up in the Target/Walmart kind of places I believe and most hobby shops will stock them because they're a Warhammer product and why not.

GW isn't going to sell them directly and compete with the chains they're selling to. That's a fast way to get blacklisted. They will likely do something with them when discontinued though. That recently Space Marine vs Death Guard Kill Team box set was just selling bundles of previous waves after all.

If you want a direct comparison, you're complaining that a limited edition model is limited edition, when that was the point of its release.

I can tell you're not part of the toy collecting community because that happens literally every time a popular character or character that's never gotten a toy before/in 20+ years is released as a limited edition convention exclusive.

Barnes and Noble may have them. Target has them on occasion- the local had the blind boxes for sigmar on the shelf for a long time.

Basically they show up in places that sell the board games that often have some repackaged Tyranid sprues

Blind buys aren't my bag. I buy the minis/units I need. If GW makes good money off of these and it keeps them healthy and afloat, so be it. If little Timmy's first contact with Space Marines and the 40k Universe (TM, PP, R, C) is from the Space Marine Hero's bags they happened upon at Target, then great. Especially if they then get their parents to check out a GW store, or a game store, or look online to find out more. Hey, a new hobbiest.

Again, it's a miss for me and probably most of us here on DakkaDakka, but I can see the benefits of them.

Balance dataslate is up in the downloads section of the Warhammer Community website.

Nothing particularly major that I've noticed after a quick glimpse, bit of a change to the Tau Kauyon detachment and a ruling that Mawlocs don't get terror from the deep in Subterranean Swarm if arriving via Burrow.
Also some changes to Death company in boarding actions.
