If you haven’t gotten a Bandai Marine yet, here could be the reason why- GW has double shipped a number of Bandai Space Marine Action figures to hobbyists for free.
It looks like GW ‘s warehouse is in the weeds amid the Covid-19 re-opening as not only are they behind on shipping store orders, they double shipped Free Bandai Space Marines as well!
The Bandai Primaris Space Marine was a limited run of models that people had a very small window of reserving and are going for $200-$300 right now on eBay.
GW Double Ships Free Bandai Space Marine Action Figure
This email was sent to us (and probably many more of you out there) saying that GW made a critical shipping error. It seems that some people who ordered a Bandai may have received double their order, for free…
Ultimately, it’s strange to see a shipping error as big as this, if it is true. However, it does appear to be from Games Workshop as the email concludes with:
Take Care
Quartermaster Lydia Grant
This email is sent on behalf of a company within the Games Workshop group of companies.
If you’ve received a double order and got this email too, please let us know in the comments. We would like to point out that this email originated from the UK’s side of GW and not North America’s.
Have you gotten two Bandai Marines and received this email? Are you one of the fans still waiting to get yours? Has anyone received a messed up order from GW outside of the Bandai line?
