GW at Nuremburg Toy Fair

Seen at Nuremburg, apparently GW intends another push on the toy market with Airfix type gift sets of snap fit models, brush, glue and paints in a box.

The plastic will be coloured so no undercoat or bar coast will be needed.

Price from £10 (top) to £25 (bottom row).

Might be some bargains here lads when the residue gets remaindered.

    Interesting development. Will be curious to see how these will actually look in the flesh.

      Probably not very detailed with few bits. They are clearly aimed at the toy market.

      Wonderful, Ashley, wonderful. That hadn't occurred to me. God knows why not? It is most apt.

    At their annual investor meeting last year, when asked about X-Wing's prepainted minis, didn't the GW rep sneer at the notion of selling 'toys'?

    Looks like they will get those really old kits a new life. The wartruck seems to be their old wartruck kit, same with the ork bike.
    So, same old, same old, but with coloured plastic. A way to get some new money from those really outdated kits, I guess.
    Sigh
