Red_Shift Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I went to buy the (fairly new) Kor'sarro Khan model today and it says no longer available on line; different obviously to the temporarily out of stock message you sometimes see. Bit strange, can the mould really have run out this quickly?

Joe Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Production issues in Lenton Road (due to the obvious ongoing circumstances) are causing a fair amount of disruption. He's temporarily OOS until they can cast more. Nothing mould related beyond "we can't make him right now".

Rik Lightstar Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 The steel moulds (or tools) for plastic models are good for tens or even hundreds of thousands of uses. And since sprue layout etc has been done via CAD this has improved dramatically as they've improved the angles used and how they're aligned. It's far more likely that a lot have Marine players have seen that White Scars are going to be incredibly good and so are adding Kor'sarro to existing Marine forces, so he's sold out.

MARK0SIAN Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Yeah, they’re a bit annoying in that they use the phrases ‘no longer available online’ and ‘temporarily out of stock’ completely interchangeably. It often makes the shortage of stock sound more permanent/serious than it actually is. It also doesn’t always make it explicit when something is genuinely permanently removed.

Red_Shift Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Thanks Mark0sian I hadn’t realised that they chopped and changed between the two terms. I’m not looking forward to painting my Indomitus bikers in IF colours so I thought I would get into white scars after the very good heresy series fluff on them and was a bit surprised to see a no longer available line. I remember years ago the bfg light cruiser mould got dropped and broken so they only ever made a handful and thought the khan might have suffered a similar fate!

WrathOfTheLion Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 It could be that he's being reboxed - this same sort of thing happened in the past with like fenrisian wolves, etc. when the existing stock ran out, right before changing box art.Since they changed the logo and are doing new build guides, etc., it would make sense for some of the more high profile SM characters to get updated box.

Gothical Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Huh - I was able to order one on Monday, though it hasn't dispatched yet due to preorder stuff also in the order. I really hope I get one as I need the parts for 2 conversions Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365757-korsarro-khan-no-longer-available/#findComment-5580150 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanger Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Maybe they are just re-boxing it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365757-korsarro-khan-no-longer-available/#findComment-5580287 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemondish Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Maybe they are just re-boxing it. I'm not sure that's the case given he's available right now in a ton of different regions.

Someguy11 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Necron stuff is all being reboxed and slowly making its way back to shelves. Might be seeing that for marine stuff as well.

Mandragola Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I do think "sold out online" is different to not currently available. They give you an "email me" button if a model is coming back. This is a very odd model to pull though, less than a year (I think) after it was released. Can't explain that at all.

That could just be because there are some in warehouses around the place. I wonder if this means they only did a limited run of these special characters. If so, it wouldn't be surprising if Khan was the first to go, given how strong White Scars are in the new edition.

Vardus Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Or,,,,, dare we even say or think it?........... KHAN ON A BIKE! Probably wishful thinking, but now that the new Primaris bikes are out they may do it as they don't have to keep the bike design secret........ or maybe not!

Commander Nicky Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) May he is getting a new model(?) According to the lore Jubal Khan is kind of slowly dying or something like that and Games Workshop may have decided to let that character die and Kor'sarro gets the promotion to Chapter Master (and with that a new model + stats) and perhaps a new bike Edited August 20, 2020 by Commander Nicky Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365757-korsarro-khan-no-longer-available/#findComment-5588906 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armament81 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Yea now that we have outriders please put him in the saddle again GW! New Chapter Master or not. Also would not cry if they gave us a Primaris Khan on Outrider Bike (Maybe the same kit and you can have it be him or the generic) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365757-korsarro-khan-no-longer-available/#findComment-5591531 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 So I just ordered a new Khan so I guess it’s just a matter of GW catching up after Indomitus.
