I tried to look up Daniel B. Wallace's Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics on Logos and couldn't find it. Does anyone know if it is still available and if so could you post a link. I saw forum discussions about a revised edition several years away. Does anyone know the current status?
Well I tried searching for this resource under "Grammars" and "Dan Wallace"on the products page, no luck... then the blog to an article mentioning "Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics" following that link to this (see below).
Interesting, looks like it is no more.
Just ordered a copy today:
Maybe they took it down to fix the things that were lacking in it (can't remember exactly what those were; indexes or something?). As I noted last year on this forum, about a year ago I talked with Dr. Wallace at a regional ETS conference in Fort Worth, and he said it would (at that time) be at least 5 years before a revised edition would be coming out. He was sitting and talking with Verlyn Verbrugge, an editor at Zondervan, at the Zondervan book table, if I remember correctly.
Call Logos to inquire where the resource is.
Optimistically Egalitarian (Galatians 3:28)
I hope so. The present formattin is quite clunky, with horizontal rules at page breaks, some missing outlines at the beginnings of chapters, and, as you say, the missing index volume (though Logos' reference search made up for that in my usage).
I suspect Zondervan is holding it back for the same reason that none of their other grammar textbooks (including Mounce's Greek textbooks and Van Pelt's Hebrew/Aramaic ones) are available in Logos ---a reason they have chosen not to share with us.
This looks like a strategic licensing decision more than a technical or editorial one to me (especially since Accordance has them all).

Have any of you long time Logos users seen products become unavailable and then be offered again later after licensing issues were worked out?
OUP and Liturgical Press have both reappeared this year, after having been gone several years, and the ACCS showed up again just a couple of weeks ago.

I don't think so. It was available for years and (according to archive.org) went missing after March 13th 2013.
Have joy in the Lord!
Yes, I have it. I think it's quite possible the terms of the old licensing agreement ended. The original Logos edition of GGBTB was built and published by Galaxie Software through some special arrangement, even though Zondervan was publishing the paper version and was still refusing to deal with Logos. I am not privy to the details, but others have mentioned in the past that it was a special set of circumstances that allowed Galaxie (and thus Logos) to get it.
