Stores will have an event like the celebrate the day for grand openings and birthdays etc, etc. Marine day will offer a special figure for sale that will only be available while supplies last, same with the other event give outs.
Honestly I really don’t see how you can have a “SPACE MARINE DAY” and not give out Space Marine swag, right? But that’s cool there will be an exclusive and freebies too.
-So what store are YOU going to on the 16th of April?
