I am rue that there are other threads about missing miniatures but I just wanted to know in one place where all can see, since the hobbit has came out,what models have been removed from games workshop so far I know;
-isildur mounted
-gondor commander
I don't go on the site as often as is hours so I don't notice everything missing so I would just like to know so I can grab a bargain before they rocket up!
Thanks or any comments in advance!

These guys went before the Hobbit range was released, I think that Army-of-the-Dom is looking for what has disappeared post the release of the Hobbit range.

Already a thread right here:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=25832

(I do believe the title of it should be changed and it should be stickied)

It's a sad end. They won't bother with any more re-releases. Not worth their money. If you want any metal models, get them now otherwise they'll be oop.

These are all showing 4 week delivery so are most likely to go next:
Metal dwarf warriors/bowmen, Gimli, Elrond of Rivendell, Amon Hen aragorn, Frodo & Sam 2 (Frodo & Sam 1 already oop), Sam & Bill the Pony, Dying Boromir, Merry & Pippin 1, Merry & Pippin 2, Farmer Maggot, Old Bilbo Baggins, Bullroarer Took, Arvedui & Malbeth, Habarad Captain of Dunedain, Peregrin Took guard of the citadel, Kings of men, Knight of minas tirith standard, Theodred, Gamling without banner, Harad chieftain, Dalamyr, uruk shaman, feral uruks, metal easterlings, khandish cavalry and Death of Gothmog.
Some will be back as finecast/plastic i'd imagine. Others will be gone for good.

Its a business not a government lol. We have already had this discussion recently on another thread, the LotR/Hobbit Range is GW's proverbial step-child, its not their intellectual property and they make less money off of it so they don't care. Its been, like the elves, "the long defeat"
