OK, for £20 this is worth a shout. Will take a look after I get a conference call out of the way

I don't think I ever posted what I got from my first wave box, did I?

I don't think I did as well as MDG or the like, but I don't think I did badly for the price, either:

- Warhammer 40,000 Tool Box
- Imperial Eagle cereal bowl
- Metallic Space Marine mug (this doesn't seem to be available anywhere any more)
- 40k Egg Cup set
- 1 Stormcast Coaster
- Stormcast Shield pin badge
- "For the emperor" metal wall sign

13.99 + 10.99 + ??? + 9.99 + 2.00 + 4.99 + 3.99 = £46 + mug, so it's going to be at least £50 of content, as advertised.

I may have been daft enough to order a second one, which should've arrived today, but UPS apparently have issues with my address - which, from what I can see on their system is correct. I'm especially annoyed that their system only updated to indicate this issue after their customer service phone line closed for the day...

OK, UPS guy turned up just as I was about to do some training for work - and just as I was in the final 5 of a Super Mario Bros 35 game, though low on time - so I've taken the interesting route and opened the box to see what my loot was:

- Blood Angels Stoneware Bowl
- Keyring (Imperial Eagle)
- Blood Angels Pin Badge
- Keyring (Purity Seal)
- AOS Heat Changing Tankard/Mug
- A5 Notebook (Emperor)
- AOS Giant Pin Badge

11 + 8 + 4 + 8 + 14 + 12 + 15 = £72

I need to rethread the pin on the Giant AOS Badge of doom - which is pretty damn chunky - but everything else looks fine.

I'd have a nother look through the packing material they're using, too - layers of that semi-shredded card gives all sorts of places for things to get stuck in.

This does seem to be the first one where it sounds like they haven't hit the value they stated, which seems weird, and makes me think there's been a cock-up somewhere.

I hope so. I know my third box wasn’t as instantly impressive as the first two, but it was still pretty decent (Dark Angels bowl was christened with Lucky Charms this morning).

Let us know their responses.


I will, but as they will reply next working day, I assume that will be monday earliest.


I'm saying this sincerely, before anyone accuses me of sarcasm - it's nice to see someone behaving rationally and in proportion to what's going on. Especially on the internet.

Odd request, but would be able to measure the bowls volume please?


Or anyone else with one for that matter.


Looking at the two I have, they go up to 11.

Glad to hear it, MasterAO.

Huh, that's weird - I've used two different EXIT codes on the two mystery boxes I've ordered to date.

Just tested it, though, and they do seem to have disabled the use of EXIT15 or EXIT10 with these boxes - and that EXIT20 is no longer valid.
