Gosh, I'm genuinely surprised by this move from GW. I sure hope it is successful. I'd love a chance to pick up some more Khorne Berserker clones, and even some old Plague Marine clones.

Not my models.

I still prefer those Berzerkers to the multipart ones.

I think that the idea of selling GW products at other stores is a good idea in theory. However, in practice, which stores would actually carry their products? Around these parts, most toy stores and hobby shops have closed. The only toy store left is Toys R Us. The other stores that stock toys are big chains like Wal Mart and Target.

Gw has built a portfolio of stand alone board games that could be sold in such stores. However, their price point is so high I cannot imagine that a Wal Mart buyer would give the green light to a board game that costs more than $100.

Haven't been to a Hobby Lobby in awhile, but Michael's sells model kits and there're a lot of them in the SF Bay Area.
