[40K] Surprise in Eldar Army box

Guess I must have missed something... GW's US online store just listed the
Eldar army box, and the contents are not exactly what I was expecting to
see:

1 Autarch
1 Wraithlord
1 Falcon
10 Dire Avengers (incl. Exarch)
6 Fire Dragons (incl. Exarch)
6 Banshees (incl. Exarch)
1 Vyper
10 Guardians
1 Grav Platform
and, of course, the new Codex.

So, let me get this straight... They didn't put in the new War Walker or
Scorpions? And they *did* put in Banshees? I know the Scorps and War
Walker got new models, but I hadn't heard anything about the Banshees
getting redone. Odd...

Banshees have new models - the War Walker's in the Battleforce and a
squadron will probably be in the Megaforce. They'd have to drop quite a
lot to get a Walker trio in there, and it's not too bad a deal, so
their absence isn't a problem. Plus the new Teenage Mutant Ninja
Scorpions are fairly horrid models (if not as bad as the last batch)
while, aside from the Exarchs, the Banshees and Dragons are pretty good
(all are up on the UK Online Store).
