I really love the old style bundles like these. Something about the loose sprues bundled with sealed blister packs just made it seem like you were getting a proper multibuy deal, as opposed to the modern Start Collecting! box approach which almost feels like a singular product in and of itself. It all feels a little bit more.. cold these days. Or maybe it’s all pure nostalgia.
I still remember very clearly one particular Mail Order Army Bundle deal for Saim Hann Wild Riders that I came across in one of my earliest encounters with a mail order catalogue or a copy of White Dwarf or something. It’s still strange to me how much the culture has changed from those big jaggy bubbles in the corner declaring £X savings.
I think you’ve nailed my feelings on the submit. I’ve actually emailed GW 3 times now :p over the last 5 years asking them to return these bundles. But nothing, they always reply. But not with results dam it :p
Ah man, do you have an photos of what the Saim Hann Wild Riders box looked like? I’ve been trying to hunt the one from WD 236 for… well a very long time!
May I ask if there’s any chance to get a scan or some pictures of the army list / paper booklet from that box?
Thanks in advance!

Seems I did not reply! :O Sorry man!
Any chance to get to know when you bought this set and what you paid? Also, is there a price you would sell it for? Might be interested…
Sorry for the delay Tim, I think I paid around £300 for the box, which back then was a crazy high price lol But ye, it is for sale. Though its sealed.
remember 3 of these on ebay suddenly years ago, but forgot how much it went for… certainly less than chaotic prices nowadays
