Yeah, nobody builds a GEV like the Combine... Good ol' post apocalyptic
used-to-be-American know-how, if you ask me (<insert nostalgic sigh>).
I've tried to get my hands on a pack of them for years, seems like; I've
even scoured booths at Dragon*Con for the past 2 years, but nada.  
However, I seem to recall reading somewhere (on the SJ Games site,
perhaps?) that Ogre Minis is up for reprint/re-release, so it could be
that
they will go back into production.  According to the Ogre page on SJ
Games,
they are "still looking at various options, including granting yet
another
license, custom casting of metal miniatures, or plastic vehicles." 
There
may be hope yet.

Take care,
