Gems shop - limited items
They will be back with HoT, the items were “sneak peak items”.
Where was it said the wings wont be back until HoT? Just asking because I keep seeing this, I thought it was possible for them to return at any point from now.
Are the shadow dyes a limited time shop item?
@ Lambet, good Q i’m actually not sure myself. Considering how we got Golden Pig and Crystal Nomad outfit again then Wings may come back early. I think its better to say the wings will be back by HoT.
I’m biding my time, patiently waiting for a crack at the Mini Jaguar Cub. Remember me, ANet? The guy who spent oodles of money in your Gem Store every week before the updates that killed my Town Clothes and ruined my Toys (Boxing Gloves/Sonic Tunneling Tool, etc.) I’m still here. You just need to entice me with the kinds of things I like again. Get off of your Town Clothes fixation and find something I like, and I’ll start shoveling money in your direction again.
Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm the rest of his life.

Are the shadow dyes a limited time shop item?
Since the other specialized dye packs were, I would say yes. Now it’s unlikely to just vanish without notice, their will likely be a week long count down on them when they are on their way out.
But they will be back someday in the future as the rest of the packs have returned at one time or other.

dont worry they will bring it back
90% of everything that has ever been in the gem shop returns at some point. Most of the exceptions are due to the game having changed since (town clothes, for example, were replaced by tonics that can be sold on the TP, but neither the clothes nor the tonics have returned). Some stuff returns seasonally or with certain special events, such as wintersday outfits/skins, lovestruck weapons (valentine’s day), and so on.
Limited Edition dyes (the ones that ANet calls ‘exclusive’ because they only drop from specialty dye kits) have all returned, except the latest ones. I believe all of the infinite-use gathering tools are ‘permanent’ additions to the store (although there’s probably an exception that I haven’t spotted).
In short, everything returns at some point. (Unless the game changes.)
