Looks like time has finally caught up with Bilbo Baggins as at least one Games Workshop store has removed all the Hobbit from their shelves.

A bunker sized Games Workshop store has removed all their Hobbit merchandise and reset their shelves to Age of Sigmar, and Warhammer 40k this week, with the Hobbit no where in sight.

The Hobbit is Gone! (Note old or no signage)
It’s unclear if this is the removal of the Hobbit from all GW stores, and if it is, whether it’s a result of the new CEO’s promise to review the product range or a licensing issue with the movie itself.
If you still need to pick up those last few odds and ends for the game don’t fret. As of this writing some Hobbit items look to still be available on Games Workshop’s webstore.
