After taking a look at the various outlets it looks like they are still on the market but no one has the 1.5 X 6 listed for sale. The 2.5 X 10's are available.
Don't know why the 1.5-6 is still on the website. Leupold told me over the phone (many months, or maybe even a year or two ago, by now) that they had discontinued that model.

Makes you wonder doesn't it. Perhaps they are trying to work out the problems and bring it back to market. That's a very nice range on a variable scope.
I have one from Leupolds last year of production. Mine has a German-4 reticle and works very well. When LEU came out w/ the bigger 2.5-10x LPS they did not find enough sales of the 1.5-6x LPS to keep it in production.
This scope does have one quirk, the field of view is huge at maximum eye relief when set at 1.5x. As a result, the very outer edge has a small amount of perceptible distortion. Other than that it is crystal clear. It is heavy, but I've kept mine to use if I ever hunt big cats.
