I first became aware of this set a few days after it went on general release, but could not find it for sale anywhere (all out of stock), some online stores have now removed the listing entirely. So was this another of those stupidly frustrating GW marketing FOMO tricks that just ends up making most of the player-base who wanted it annoyed and feeding the scalper market, or will we actually see some sense from GW and see them do another print run of it?

I know the kill teams and scenery will be released separately in a short while, but at great expense to anyone who missed the original set they came from.

Does anyone have estimates of how many of this set actually made it into the hands of genuine gamers, not including YouTube reviewers or scalpers, and non-GW online and bricks and mortar stores?

As a consolation to myself I've bought some Sneak Feet from Wargames Atlantic, if my local KT opponents don't mind me using these then it's a cheap and easy way to play some unofficial Ratlings, perhaps with a bit of kitbashing where necessary for WYSIWYG.

[Apologies Admins, I didn't see the other forum for Kill Team at the bottom of the list, please could it be moved as I don't know how to do this myself]

It is a limited print run so no, no reprint.
If you want some numbers: the German store where I bought two listed over 200 available for pre-order two days after the pre-order went online. So I would guess quite a few have been available.

It is a pity that players have to be very well informed about weekly releases, else these boxes are gone.

I don't go in for pre-orders myself, but I know someone locally who does and he wasn't able to get a copy. I suppose if any were actually on sale in my local shops they would have been snapped up immediately, but I suspect they probably never even had any delivered. They tend to have things on the shelf that are often out of stock at most online shops, if they do have them delivered. I get the feeling there isn't that big a GW customer base here.
