GW Mini's Being Removed from Stock


The main intent with deleted product codes is to make room for newer models, which may or may not be direct replacements for the models in question. The following is a list of models being removed from GW Stock, apparently these  items are currently available whilst stock lasts.


The following list is from Dante and starchild over on Warseer. Im not quite convinced this is solid, so take with a little salt, until varified. It is at least probable that these models are moving to "direct only" to make room for new models.

which as we know happens now and again. These items are currently available whilst stock lasts.


What I found of interest was The Avatar and Terminator Librarian, which hints at Eldar and a previously mentioned multi part Librarian plastic kit.

The main intent with deleted product codes is to make room for newer models, which may or may not be direct replacements for the models in question. This frees up retail space at brick-and-mortar GW & independent stores.


There are some models on that list which are long overdue for being sacked. The Chaos Sorcerers for instance-- horrible models imho. However, that product code doesn't match up with the codes on the GW website.


The deletion of Swooping Hawks is interesting, since the product code is for the actual box set, not the blister pack. Again, it's most likely a move to save space, since the blister packs will still be available.
