I spotted this list on Dakka Dakka – the author of the post had placed an order, and received a long list of models that are on back order/out of stock. One item from the long list jumped out at me – Epic drop pods:

here.
Now, if the drop pods come back as resin, that might be a good sign for the rest of the range. If not... well, not so good.
