Come see the new 40k releases that have been solicited to distributors for advanced ordering here in the United States.
This list was sent by an anonymous source to Spikey Bits, and shows the new 40k Vedros release that GW has said was slated for later in the year. It was spotted on a major US distributors site this week, so it looks like Games Workshop has sent these items to solicitation to retailers and distributors as of now.

What We Know About VEDROS:
Remember when this new line was spotted a few weeks back at the International toy fair? Well it looks like ICV2 got with GW corporate and got some answers…
The Battle for Vedros Range
Key Points
Some key popints from the GW Toy Sales Commercial Manager:
- That entire set of items comes in a retail display with a wholesale price of $350 (45% off retail)
- The range has “push-fit models”
- No glue needed
- Specific range packaging and text designed specifically for the US & Canada market (lighter packaging and less overt violent text)
- Range is being sold into stores that have no previous GW presence.
- Aimed at kids aged 8 and up.
So it looks like we’ll be seeing 40k in “BIG BOX” stores sooner than later, question is will that bring a flood of new players to places like uh Wal Mart, or will they direct the new interest to the appropriate retail locations post purchase.
