How long does it typically take GW to restock models?
Just got into 40K last month, trying to get a Mutalith Vortex Beast. Was gonna get one after my current batch was built and painted (and it is!) but in that time 10th dropped and made MVB meta, so there they all went.
Should I hold out and hopefully there will be a resupply online soon? Or move on to something else? None of my local shops have em either.

Very rarely. Low volume kits can go years between reprints, the opportunity cost of finding the molds and swapping out the lastest space marine isn't worth it. Unless they do something like release the Slaughterbrute for World Eaters your best bet is shopping online or putting a request into a few stores to see if a warehouse shakes one loose.
How long has it been like this? I'm a 3rd-4th edition player getting back into it and it's kind of alarming to see. I never remember having a hard time getting units or models. If it came down to it you could special order whatever you needed, including individual bits.
Well, their production has only increased a bit while their catalogue has increased by an order of magnitude. Multiple entirely new armies, with a complete refresh of factions and models in the fantasy/40k line. The vortex beast is 11 years old, who knows what condition the mold itself is still in?
Wow. I really liked the GW model and wanted one but if I know it may be impossible to get one I'll have to look elsewhere. They are really pushing their customers into the 3D printing market.
