If I had to make a prediction, I think we'll see one more release wave for BotFA (Iron Hills and maybe some Evil stuff missing like Bats). I think needing more time to sell the stock would also make sense if there was still something yet to be released.

Then down the line we'll see a re-release of WotR with a BotFA supplement (the same poster of these rumors had said this a few months back), possibly as the tie in to the remaining Hobbit releases. This will give five years to try and clear remaining stock by pushing the 'mass battles' version which encourages purchase of larger quantities of minis. In the meantime we will see one more book that ties all the Hobbit releases together for SBG along with reprints of the existing sourcebooks. Notice that the BotFA mini-book completely glosses over the battle itself, which lends itself to WotR format anyway, and focuses on the small tangential skirmishes like the Ravenhill.

Please note I have no source, and this is not a rumor. Just conjecture.

Temporarily out of stock on 86 of the 185 available models on the USA site.
This would be the LOTR range. (edit)
That is just about half the range they will restock.
I am totally looking forward to this next massive production run.
It will be epic.

...right.

This rumor has not helped my optimism at all.
