GW moved one of the bigger new kits from the new Orks release to Web Exclusive status, yanking back the availability of Big ‘Ed Bossbunka to stores!
Let’s be real, it’s 2021 we get that supply chains are stretched thin around the world for sure, so this post is more about letting anyone who may have wanted the new terrain piece that it won’t be coming to stores anytime soon.
However, any store with a trade account can special order this item at a lower discount, and will receive them after the release date. With GW currently being on a 4-week restock backlog, that may not be the best idea though if you need this kit anytime soon.
GW Moved Big ‘Ed Bossbunka to Web Exclusive
Games Workshop notified stores late Friday, September 3rd that they would not be able to get the new Big ‘Ed Bossbunka for the upcoming Orks release.
So if you wanted this new kit, you will have to order it from GW’s website at the link below. Here is another look at the new kit from our New Releases post on Sunday.
This multi-part plastic kit is comprised of 27 components, and can be assembled into one Big’ed Bossbunker. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.
We imagine most Ork players can convert one from their existing bits stash, but if you want the sprues above, you’re going to have to order from GW it looks like.
