Man, it would be disappointing if the new Eldar Jetbike box are the same old models. Guess I'll just stick with my overpriced Vyper squadron if that's the case.

Seems like its just going to be repackaging. The 5 avengers for the price of 10 thing is mind boggling however. I had high hopes it'd be some kind of dual aspect kit but there doesn't seem to be enough buzz to substantiate that.
"I play Eldar, why? Does GW make any other good armies?"
I really don't want to be that guy, but I have to say I'm kinda disappointed with how this release is shaping up. I really wish guardians, bikes, and warlocks got some love; I just got this feeling like GW is dropping the ball. Granted, I am completely stoked with the wraithguard and the flyer. I guess, I am holding out hope that I haven't seen all of the release and GW is gonna pull a "Gotcha!".
All of the 6th edition releases have been centered on completely new units. There have been a few classic units that have received new models of course, but the first wave of everything has basically been composed of flyers, new big things and maybe a few new unique unit types or redone classic units here and there.
I hope we see some second waves in the next few years to revamp outdated sculpts.
Looking at the upcoming Eldar release it seems pretty small compared to all the other 6th edition releases thus far. If whats been posted is the end all be all of this release they're not getting much. Not including characters this has been what each 6th ed. army has had at release.

Honestly I'd say there's got to be at least one more new thing in the pipe for Eldar that we just don't know about. That new thing is probably actually an old thing with a new model of course, but I'm still crossing my fingers that the 5 man Avengers pack is more than what we think it is.
