Here's the thing. Like I said before, there's no telling how many copies of FOD are at distributors or sitting on shelves out there, in warehouses and back rooms. This was a very popular game, and in a very well-regarded and presumably high volume reprint edition. The shortage of the game at online sellers over TWO DAYS is what has fueled speculation on this one.
It isn't rare, and just because it is out of print doesn't mean it's unavailable. Or that it won't be available even after February 1. I think now that the panic is subsiding, we'll see the stock on it almost normalize- at least at retailers that have reordered in quantity. I do agree that with Halloween and the Tabletop show that will likely zap stocks again. I would speculate that by Christmas - not next weekend- it will be scarce with lingering copies here and there.
Now, two years from now is a different story. This game had ALWAYS commanded $100+ between printings.
Heh...like $100 is a lot for a board game anymore...I remember when I wanted a copy of FoD 10 years ago that seemed astronomical.

What's the estimated overall print-run for an FFG game like FoD? How many do they typically print?

You can read CHARLEST'S REVIEW HERE
And here is an image that should calm down all of you rabid FOD fans with its awesomeness:

Also 8th summit is selling Run, Fight or Die with the co-op expansion for $25 including shipping so I've gone for that.

I sold off some games over the past week and I am having a bit of a dilemma about what 40k stuff to buy. My FLGS is having an anniversary sale so everything is 20% off, which makes their GW prices roughly in line with most of the online discounters. I really want to pick up Gorechosen, but I will probably pass on Lost Patrol (I do not particularly care for its minis and the gameplay sounds meh). For my 40k league, five boxes of Nurglings would really increase my ability to compete by allowing me to take two new formations (one covering all of my units, and one covering all of the non-Daemon Princes).
They also have a copy of Imperial Knight: Renegade in-stock, which would give me two knights I could build as Renegades. This would bump me up to having to compete against other people's ability to field super-heavy stuff. ...but I probably am terrible at the game anyway so it might not matter and they would be so much fun to paint!

But, there again, it is cheaper than buying the models separately.
Lost Patrol is REALLY fun. Totally dumb. But REALLY fun as long as you are playing it with the right mindset and with just a simple rules tweak to make it a teeny bit less fatal for the scouts.

Usually I grin and bear it with their prices because they are selling a premium product...but at $175 for two models and a rather rudimentary game (from what I hear) to play with them is a bit much.

But with the discount its only $156 here! So reasonable for two delicate plastic dolls.
Lost Patrol looks fun, but Gorechosen looks like more fun. I also like the models/own none of them, which is a plus (and have the two from AoS and the free one from White Dwarf).

Then Gorec Hosen from Dan's along with Skarr, Bloodstoker, and slaughter priest with hackblade from fleabay for $75 grand total. I'd love to get valkia, but not until she's in plastic. So I'll settle for the spear dude to complete Khornes favored number of 8 models.
Gorec Hosen is more fun than it has any right to be. The rethemer in me wants to mess with it badly, as that would be a super easy weekend project, but I've just accepted the gw theme and learned to love it.
I am eyeballing the nnurgle putrid kings box really hard as a nurgle themed expansion for Gorec Hosen. The models are sexy, and highly mutable for that unique touch.
