NCA discontinued: what exactly does this mean?

Leafed through the CB shop's panO section: there is no NCA starter, vanilla panO starter, Hexa spitfire, Stingrays and any kind of Bolts.

 

stingrays were discontinued around the end of last month

 

Those were all listed for discontinuation IIRC, can't find where I saw the list now.

The PanO vanilla starter has been replaced by Kaldstrøm, I wouldn't be too surprised if we saw the Nisse sniper and Akal combi pop back up in a C1 booster pack with the Swiss HMG from Beyond Icestorm.

 

Icestorm starter is understandable and even teh NCA starter but the axeing of the Bolts SWC box surprised me.

 

Bolts are surprising, unless they'll end up in FC 300 box?

 

Those will almost certainly be brand new sculpts. Anything less than 20+ total Bolt sculpts is a failure of imagination.

 

Hexa Spitfire was discontinued before the NCA starter even hit. It's just such an old model that you can still find it rotting away at some local shops.

I would. The molds, from what people love to scream and bitch about, "don't allow!" for them to just do that stuff. When they discontinue stuff, it should be gone.

Worth mentioning as well that the Kaldstrom Fusiliers were consistently billed as 'alternates' to the standard Fusiliers when the discussions were going on about them.

 

We can have the discussion at the end of page 1 and half of page 2 without name calling and accusations, you know that.

 

I disagree with that as it could still be produced as a Vanilla starter. Unless CB is only doing sectorial starters now instead. Considering the recent starter boxes & two player sets that might be true.

 

The Kaldstrom box is the new vanilla starter. It is just a "coincidence" that every unit is usable in the Svala sectorial.
