Recently been e-mailing US Mail Order to arrange an order with them, I asked about their archive epic stuff and whether they were planning to keep it round with the release of Epic Armageddon.
The Hobby Specialist replied to say that the old epic stuff will go off sale on February the 2nd (not entirely sure if he meant the complete range or just some of it though) and that any old moulds that ware out till then will not be replaced e.g. I was going to buy a few of the old revenant titan models but the mould for one of the legs has died.
Thought I'd buy up on the old epic stuff whilst I still could so sent in order for 500+ bits, just thought the rest of you guys might want to know about it too and that if you want anything from the archive you had better be quick before its gone forever...

Hi!
GW never learns from past mistakes with epic. When epic 40k ws released they "purged" the market eliminating all the SM/TL stock from GW stores and even buying back the stuff from retailers. As the support dried up people got....nothing.
I wouldn't mind this move if everything was released in one year. But having seen the release schedule...........

I'd does kina suck but I figure its motivated by economics and storage space, their probably not selling many of those old bits and why pay out to keep them active and available when they've got a whole new edition of the minatures on the way...

Under all circumstances I'll make an order for various bits'n'pieces just to be on the safe side. The recent development of Epic has been a bit depressing...
Cheers!

Hi!
I definitely recommend getting what you need now. In this case there is NO tomorrow.

Hi!
Glad I got all the archive stuff I wanted two weeks ago.
Shame to see all that old stuff disappear.

?Not unusual that there is conflicting stories from G/W ! ?So yes, Storm (and Tas, if you want to add anything) send me your list and I will make the order Sunday. ?They will let us preorder the catalogues we want here in the US, so we will still get the free shipping and save $7 or $8 USD ! ? I think this is just a marketing ploy to makes us buy the new E:A models at INFLATED prices, if you are a "newbie" and want to play Epic ! ?
?Or G/W just wants to reduce their inventory worries ... there is a lot of Epic bitz ! ?So another nail in the coffin ... 
? ?
