There are "masses" who want them to bring back the Squats?
A very small group of highly vocal fans is probably closer to the truth.
I'd say there'sa very small group of non vocal fans who have been getting on with collecting squat armies, and there's a roaring mass of memelords who think it's endlessly funny to ask GW about the squats, and after so many years the joke has worn thin enough the GW is killing it.
Hell, even the meme of resetting the squat clock comes from the community as a response to people making jokes about squats, and GW have LITERALLY SMASHED THE CLOCK, all to get people to bloody well shut up!

I think the mini will be wonderful and sell like hot cakes in the arctic tho, as people will desperatley want it just for the sheer humour of finally having a squat.
