seti88 Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 this pop'd up on youtube recommendations... Quote
JB0 Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 It is kinda funny that this thread resurfaces the same night I start replaying the Warhammer: Space Marine vidya game. Quote
Duymon Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 I'm very salty the space marine trilogy never happenned. While I'm not a Primaris Fan I will pick up a recolor of this fig if they do it in Dark Angels Green Quote
Capedbaldy Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Anybody know when this is coming? This is a must have for me. Quote

Focslain Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Looks like a limited run on the figures. From the FB page. Quote

Capedbaldy Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 any idea how the po is gonna work? I feel like it will be like mondo where they make some random post on FB and you'll miss it lol Quote
Podtastic Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Yes! The order for my 2 Primaris is placed. Quote
Kelsain Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Are these it available in US & Canada? I see a preorder button at the top of all the European pages, but nothing on the US site. Quote

I see a preorder button at the top of all the European pages, but nothing on the US site. I don't see any restrictions, so I'm hoping the US & Canada sites will have their pre-order pages up today by 10 o'clock...noon at the latest. Edited October 5, 2019 by technoblue nothing yet; still waiting Quote
technoblue Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Not sure how payment works for this pre-order. This will be my first time using the Games Workshop store. Curious about what's delaying this for the US/Canada storefronts. All other GW storefronts have the pre-order up now, even the 'Rest of the World' page. Quote
Kelsain Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 I guess we may just have to see if they do a wider release, if these sell out quickly. With the continued availability on the international sites, I imagine this isn’t anything like a Macross preorder situation. Honestly wish it was a kit like the 1/12 Star Wars or FigureRise ones. Ultramarines have never been my thing. Quote
technoblue Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 US/Canada orders are live; looks like it was 10AM pacific. Quote
Kelsain Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Oof, $210... I think I may be out on this one... I should have realized that this would be more like the GW pricing model than the Bandai one. EDIT: haha, after reading Mechaniac’s post, I realized that I was set to New Zealand pricing! Edited October 5, 2019 by Kelsain Quote
mechaninac Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Order placed with games-workshop.com for one copy, $106.35 w/tax and free 3-6 day shipping to my home. It is pricey, but this is a frik'n Space Marine articulated and fully finished figure, so I just couldn't resist, and with PayPal Credit -- it is above the $99.00 threshold -- I got 6 months to pay, which makes it a bit more palatable. Edited October 6, 2019 by mechaninac Quote
Big s Posted October 5, 2019 Author Posted October 5, 2019 It’s pricey, but definitely the best offering of a space marine by far. Quote
Scyla Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) So I ordered one and had to pay upfront. Being out of the wargaming fandom since 2005 this release confuses me: Why no regular Space Marine; it is far more iconic than the Primaris variant. Why not a named character; I would love to get the 18 Primaches as an enclosed and finished collection Anyhow, I hope they will make some more Chapter variants. Would love to get a Dark Angel one. I'm not an Ultrasmurfs fan but if backing this project gets me other color variants I'm happy to support. Edited October 6, 2019 by Scyla Quote

Why not a named character; I would love to get the 18 Primaches as an enclosed and finished collection A) Actually the Primaris Marine is the new icon now. Seems that these are more space marine then the old ones. In fact the models are actually more to their fluffy design of the marines then the old ones (this includes in the current rules set). B) This might just be a test bed for not only the armiture, but the fact that the GW brand can sell Bandai's services. If these sell out semi-quickly they might go after others. Forgeworld has most of the primarchs done in thier Horus Hersey series. As for those that survived to the 42nd millinuim (current clock is around M41.250) is Magnus, Mortarion, and Guilliman. So far, rest are MIA or buried. Quote
Capedbaldy Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Primaris have replaced normal space marines. GW made everything bigger so it was easier to paint and construct. Purely a business decision that they wrote into the lore. They brought one of the Primarchs back and he had a secret project with a 10k year old Tech Priest to make stronger marines. I assumed their older lines weren't selling so well, and a lot of new war gaming lines are bigger models. Quote

Felix Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 7.5" tall, 100% plastic, and $215.OO US..... Damn I really wanted one, but I'm out. I recently picked up a NEW GX-67 Battleship Arcadia for less than that, and it is huge and full of metal. Quote
