But will they be at all stores the next week?

Checkout these clues for the 22nd from the White Dwarf, and Internets:

Some one on dakka saw the above figures on eBay for sale, but it was removed by the time we clicked on it.

I’ve seen 2 on ebay so far, one’s about USD$250, the other’s about, USD$135… Ouch

EDIT: Weird, all of them were removed apparently, their listing pages now say “has been removed, or this item is not available.”

Black Library will have the limited Leman Russ novel available on the 21/22nd of October.
