One lucky hobbyist just got their Bandai Primaris Marines order, which means more and more should be arriving soon. Check out the latest.
Thanks to the current worldwide crisis, shipping on different orders has become a bit weird. There looks to be a slight delay on most things here in the U.S. with Games Workshop shutting down business operations indefinitely. However, one lucky hobbyist actually ordered his Bandai Marine from a Japanese Hobby website and already got his model!
Bandai Primaris Space Marines Arriving In Some Markets
Earlier on, we saw pictures from hobby hero Scott Rubin on our Facebook Hobby Group of the figure as well as the packaging from a past event. Here are some close-up shots!
Don’t worry about the awkward posing on the model. You can adjust him to however you want. You can even drop the weapons from his hands if needed.
Similar to when all the pre-painted Funko POP! minis released and we saw people painting over them in their own colors, we’re sure we’ll be seeing the same thing happen for this guy as well. Let’s face it. Not everyone wants to be an Ultramarine.
As for the packaging, it comes in a dope, fully enclosed packaging- perfect for storing it on the shelf keeping it in mint condition and watching it become a collectible.
Bandai Primaris Space Marines Arriving
Coming from Alex Carros on Spikey Bits Hobbies, he managed to already get his out of the box!
If you’re still waiting on yours, the reason why he might’ve gotten his so early is because he ordered his from a Japanese hobby website. Now don’t get discouraged. If you live in the U.S and ordered yours through regular means, it probably won’t be long before you get yours either.
Bandai Marines Spotted Hitting GW’s Warehouse
Using a little port scrying, it looks like something from Bandai hit US ports a little over a week ago. Plus, the only time we’ve ever heard of Bandai working with Games Workshop is for the Primaris figure and chibis (but those have already been spotted on shelves for sale).
Advertised as only 9,000 made, its unclear if that means just the US/ North American market alone. The numbers may support that conclusion as 897 cartons look to have made their way to the US. It’s unclear though what the carton count actually is, but assuming it is ten, that would put roughly 9,000 of these models arriving at the Memphis, TN warehouse shortly.
There is really no way to know the exact numbers arriving in the US or what allocation of models were available to consumers in each regional market back in October from GW. But at the end of the day, we know that something has hit the ports and those models are looking sick!

Will you be painting your Marine in a different Chapter’s colors once you get it? Will you be brave enough to make some conversions with Green Stuff? Do you already have a spot cleared out for him to sit on your hobby shelf?
