Bandai Primaris Space Marines Arriving In Some Markets

bnadai space marine starburstOne 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!

Bandai Primaris Space Marines Arriving

bandai space marine 1Coming from Alex Carros on Spikey Bits Hobbies, he managed to already get his out of the box!

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

bandai primaris marine port scryingUsing 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.

But at the end of the day, we know that something has hit the ports and those models are looking sick!
