Will we see Games Workshop kits in Toy and Model Stores soon? Signs are pointing to yes! Come see what was just spotted!
GW looks to be poised to enter the toy and model market this winter with a new “Build & Paint” line that was just spotted at the Nuremburg Toy Fair
Looks like Games Workshop fully intents on #bringinghobbyback with entry level plastic model kits that look to include everything you need to get started in the hobby itself!
The price point is also very aggressive for competing in the model industry with “snap together” kits costing roughly the same for each respective size.

Looks like GW is re-releasing their basic starter sprues as model kits for sale in toy stores. It’s unclear as of right now if we’ll be seeing this in places like Wal Mart or Target, but FAO Schwartz in New York has carried Games Workshop models for years!
