Looted Wagons: Brought Back By Popular Demand
While the community online assumes that GW never listens to what is being said, there is obvious information to contrast that. The latest evidence is the bringing back of the Looted Wagon. We even have the rumor now of what the story is behind the scenes of what happened, and how the Looted Wagon made its comeback.
Please remember that these are rumors. I find that being available for a digital download is a great way to keep these often centerpiece Ork converted wagons in the game.

The wagon isn't in the codex.
It is white dwarf exclusive, and will be available as digital download for $1-2.
It's not a cash grab by selling "incomplete" books.
Truth is that the book finished without the codex entry, because it did not have a model. Due to public opinion, it was brought back in a last minute decision about a month ago.You'll even note that there is a typo in the unit entry in this week's White Dwarf, where the unit entry was copy/pasted over the Gorkonaut entry.
There is no intention of making a looted-wagon conversion kit at this time, though it would be cool if it could then combo with Lemon Russ or Rhinos, etc, it simply is not intended.
People should be happy that they're heard, and the rules are going to be in white dwarf allowing for a more organic game with solutions to issues outside of 2+ years between codicies.
The reality is that not everyone in the internet-community will ever be happy.
