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!

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.
LEGO maniac and scale model hobbyist in the 80s turned miniature wargamer and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (since 5th Edition), but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
