I guess GW is getting rid of all metal mini's. Buy now while you can!
"We've been hearing mumblings for weeks now about the final days of GW metal miniatures being around the corner. It would seem that these were not just an ill-advised April fools joke...
We are now hearing from a variety of sources that GW is making it known to merchants that the entire range of metal kits (both blisters and boxed sets) will no longer be available for order.
Existing stocks on shelves is basically all that will be available until the longer term future of these kits is made known. Anything past that information is mere speculation (resin, or other materials for example) at this time.
I'm mixed about this news. In the very short term, certain armies will be affected more than others by supply issues as the metal kits are pulled. In the medium to long term, its probably a good thing, as the price of metal has been skyrocketing on the commodities markets. At some point, this was inevitable, and Games Workshop probably buys the most metal in bulk in the wargames industry, so they would have the most to gain by switching over to another material first. From a personal gamer point of view, it brings a little tear to my eye to think that after over two decades in the hobby, the last metal miniature from GW may have already been cast."

Today we received a list from Games-Workshop of codes that will no longer be available for restock through Distribution. These may or may not continue to be available directly from Games Workshop. We assume this is just the first batch as it does not contain all of metal codes in the current range. Although we were told these codes would be available while supplies last we have decided to remove them from our site immediately.

is that from alliance i hope not.....
Also it appears that this may be true because GW orland doesn't stock shit for blisters or they may not stock anything really....

It doesn't make sense that GW will cease production of these for too long. My guess is that these will be unavailable while they switch their facilities over to do resin. Either that or they will gradually move over to all plastic. Hopefully this doesn't last too long, there is still stuff I need!
