Get Stuck Into the Latest Warhammer Collaboration – The Collectible Panini Sticker Album

Need. Got. Got. Need. Need. Got

Panini do a box of 50 sticker packets and the bundle for £45.00 on pre-order.

I am tempted, as I am indeed an overgrown child. But with the maturity to not give a hoot what strangers on the internet think of him.

Are those using older pre-existing artwork I wonder ?

Seemingly so, yes.

How much do you want to bet the artists who drew them won't see a pound from this new contract with Panini ?

Well that rather depends on their contract, doesn’t it?

True ! If those were public we'd have an idea.

Well, my employment isn’t public, so not much of an argument there.

In other news, found the albums on sale in Sainsburys. Yes I bought one!

I bought my girlfriend's younger brother the 50 pack of the Panini football stickers a few years ago. Great value if you want a lot of them of course...

...he was 25

I spotted this in the shop today and picked it up on a whim with a few extra packs. You only get 4 stickers to a pack (and the collector card). I think the book has space for about 196 stickers and you get a few generic starters in the book, along with the 4 packs it comes with and a little foldable box for your cards/spares which was a bit annoying to get out of the book but folded up quite nicely once I pressed it out.

Honestly I got it on a whim because I'm bored and I did love wasting money on the 90s Jurassic park stickers (or were they cards?) I maybe I'll do it as ticking off a completed a sticker book. I've seen 20 somethings do that with the football books and they looked like they were having fun, though the race against time before the season changed might have contributed.

The collection is ok. I haven't exhausted myself on recent 40k art so some of it is new to me and some of it is classic stuff I recognise, there's shiny stuff from holo cards and the stickers are done in a way that you can walk back a misaligned one if you haven't pressed it down, which I'm sure messed up a dinosaur sticker book or two when I was a kid.

I'd say the downsides are that Heroes of the Emperor isn't as good for me as generic 40k, give me more xenos and it looks like Guard got shifted over to the collector cards. but there is five pages for Sisters and a couple for Orks, Necrons, and Eldar, other than that it is a Marine fest.

We've got Ultramarines, Dark Angels (and Ravenwing amd Deathwing pages), Space wolves, and Blood Angels (with Death Company) a couple of pages for vehicles and equipment. There's also a fold out spread.

The other downside is that I don't get that heavy ink smell from opening a pack that i would with Pokemon cards or some other things that have a lot of ink printed on them, the album isn't bad for that though.

There was also a discount code in the Sticker Album for buying stuff on the website and that tipped me over into getting the 50 pack box, that and the fact that my sister had a lot of fun collaborating with me on organising the stickers and taxing a couple of the more interesting spares for herself.

Oh and the last sticker on the final page is a 6 sticker combo of Canoness Veridyan (the classic Blanche art) I liked that.

I haven't partaken in this sort of thing since the 1983 Return of the Jedi album.

Does that make me...old?

Maybe so but I've never grown up!

How much is it for the album and sticker packs?

I got a set of 8 packets and a bonus collector card for £6.99. Album was around £5, with four packs of stickers, and six more mounted inside.

Saw one in Smiths at lunchtime (only about three left out of an entire display). Not gonna lie, i was extremely tempted...but resisted. If they do a Sigmar one however, that's an insta get.

FYI - GW stores will be giving away the albums for free:

The Panini Warriors of the Emperor sticker collection arrives in Warhammer stores on the 23rd of April. Head on down to your local Warhammer store upon release to grab your free album and some booster packs, which come in three sizes – singles, six-packs, and booster boxes. Or, if you’ve got a hankering for all the swag that comes with the starter set, you can order it from the Games Workshop webstore.

Ah thats my payday, im very tempted to pop in my local and pick some up

As stickers go, they’re pretty good quality. From a total of 12 packets, I’ve so far only got maybe 4 doublers, which if memory serves from childhood is a pretty good rate.

That will of course increase as I move closer to completion!

Back of the album also says you can direct order up to 40 specific stickers from Panini. That part of their website isn’t live yet (at least I can’t find it), so can’t comment on individual price. But might prove useful in future for polishing it all off.

Really not sure if that’s a one time service. Ever since I was a kid collecting Beano stickers, I’ve had it in my head it is. But little me was of course an idiot, so who knows.

Album is 4.99 I believe. As others have said you get 6 stickers inside and a gold out deck box for the cards.

The exclusive card in the set is a Calladus Assassin, I believe the GW exclusive one is a Vindicare? No idea what the bonus collector card is with the £15 set on the Panini site.

I quite like the not just rectangle sticker set up, but I assume Panini have been doing this kind of thing a while.

Same. 13 packs, only 4 doubles so far, only one double for the cards too.

I may have gone a bit overboard, only 12 stickers needed to complete the set now...and a further 7 cards (and the GW Vindicare limited edition) to get.

Yeah, I too was expecting some sort of sandwich when I clicked on the thread given the title.

Ahhh! That’s how I get the Vindicare. I’ve got the Callidus and Culexus, and know where to get the Eversor.

There is a 5th limited edition cards of Inquisitor Eisenhorn as well as the assassins.

Oh arse! More hunting needed!

Need to get some more stickers soon. Might order a full box from Paninininimimimim..

I'm not sure, are the stickers available in the US? Because while they're available on the UK site, they're not available on the US site at all. No idea if they're at the US GW stores.
