Up 140% and rocketing out of the FTSE 250! Is it too late for me to buy this red-hot stock?

My fellow writers on The Motley Fool have been bigging up FTSE 250 growth stock Games Workshop Group (LSE: GME) for years. Some have fallen for it hard.

Ben McPoland named the tabletop miniature gaming master his favourite FTSE 250 stock and even dedicated a playful Valentine’s ode to it in February, where he presciently said it was “destined for a promotion to the FTSE 100“.

And now it’s on the brink of FTSE 100 glory after the shares jumped another 25.5% over the last 12 months. Over five years, they’re up 139.34%.
