New 40k releases for June were just spotted up on eBay for sale today, leading to much speculation. Checkout the latest!

A new product was spotted on eBay today, that has led many to speculate that it is a fake etc. However it’s looking like this is a new release product for June bases on the teaser from this weeks White Dwarf #122.

These images were going around the internet this morning, and with a little digging we found the items for sale on eBay.

Location: Nottingham, UK?

Checkout there’s the close ups of the previously never seen items on the listing:

Keep in mind that Games Workshop uses something called “Just in time” fulfillment which means that items they are going to release arrive in the UK warehouse up to 6 weeks before they release, so that they have time to ship them out to each other countries warehouse and get them prepped etc. So this could in fact be a product that will be releasing soon.

Now read the teaser for next week that was spotted this morning from White Dwarf #122:

Hmmm seems like THIS may be the product in the teaser, or part of a new product line that GW will be dropping on June 4th? So are these “real”, and if so the question still remains; How did June’s new 40k releases already sell on eBay?
