War Game Exclusive Blind Bits Box Review: A Mystery Haul for Kitbashers

Introduction

Blind boxes are always a gamble, but for miniature hobbyists, the appeal is obvious: a mystery bundle of parts that could feed a kitbashing project, add spare bodies to an army, or simply offer a fun painting challenge. War Game Exclusive sells these blind bits boxes in a few sizes, and the contents are described as resin products that did not quite meet the company’s quality standard. That description covers mold slippage, broken parts, small unfilled details, air bubbles, and bits without sprues. In practice, the boxes contain a random range of products, and you get what you get.

This review covers a 500 g bits box and a bundle of three 100 g bags, purchased together for about $39.98, plus a separate 500 g box that cost $45. Shipping brought the total to almost $100. The question is whether the volume and variety of parts justify the price, especially when a similar amount could buy a box of complete miniatures from a major manufacturer.

Who This Product Is For

The blind bits boxes are clearly aimed at hobbyists who enjoy working with loose parts rather than following a strict build. If you like kitbashing, creating your own characters, or adding odd models to an existing collection, this product offers a large volume of material for a relatively modest price. The contents are almost entirely parts and spares: extra bodies, arms, legs, torsos, weapons, and vehicle components. There is very little that is complete, so this is not a product for someone who wants to open a box and build a finished squad straight away.

It also suits people who have multiple armies and want a few extra characters or bodies to add variety. The random nature of the contents means you will get things you would not normally choose, which can be part of the fun. For painters, the boxes provide plenty of practice material on models you do not feel particularly invested in. And if you have friends who share the hobby, duplicates can be passed along as small gifts.

Main Strengths

The biggest strength of the War Game Exclusive blind bits boxes is the sheer volume of material. The 100 g bags alone produced a surprising amount of stuff: several infantry models, a sergeant with a plasma pistol, a Necron-style character, a nurgling swarm, a corrupted cockpit, multiple space marine style figures, orc weapons and arms, a few demon models, and various small bits like pauldrons, heads, and bases. Most of the parts looked clean and well cured, with no sticky or tacky residue. They felt like solid plastic miniatures rather than poorly finished resin.

The 500 g box was even more substantial. It contained large vehicle tracks, a wing, a lookout post, a turret with space for a driver, the back end of a car, a mech torso, a flying base, two hover bikes, a massive cannon barrel, and a large chaos-style figure. There were also smaller items like handlebars, a harpoon-style spear tip, and a gun for a motorbike. The parts were detailed and, in most cases, showed no obvious casting problems. Even where there were minor issues, such as a missing foot or a fault line across a cloak, these were easy to fix with a little cleanup or by swapping in a spare part.

Another strength is the variety. Across the boxes, there were space marine style bodies, Sisters of Battle style figures, admech-like parts, orc weapons and speakers, nurglings, demons, a Necron character, and even a Santa Gretchen. This variety makes the boxes ideal for someone who wants a broad range of parts to draw from for conversions. The orc arms were particularly generous, which is useful for players who like customizing their forces.

Things to Consider Before Buying

The main thing to understand is that this is a blind box. You do not know what you are getting, and the quality is not guaranteed. Some parts may have visible issues, such as a missing piece on a head, a broken foot, or a fault line across a model. These are usually fixable, but they require a bit of work. If you expect complete, ready-to-build models, this product will likely disappoint.

There is also the question of duplicates. Across the boxes, several items appeared more than once, including cockpits, speakers, wheels, and some infantry models. Duplicates are not a problem if you have a use for them, but they do reduce the overall variety. The contents are also heavily weighted toward parts rather than complete models. In the end, the haul included three nurgling swarms, a small vehicle, a space marine character, and possibly a full squad of Imperial Guard style models. Everything else was parts and spares.

Finally, the cost adds up. The three 100 g bags cost $39.98, and the 500 g box cost $45. With shipping, the total was almost $100. That is a significant amount of money for a gamble. If you prefer knowing exactly what you are buying, a box of complete miniatures from a major manufacturer might be a better choice. But if you value volume and creative potential over certainty, the blind bits boxes offer a lot of material for the price.

Buying Advice

If you are interested in kitbashing, creating your own models, or adding spare parts to an existing collection, the War Game Exclusive blind bits boxes are worth considering. The volume of material is impressive, and most of the parts are clean and usable. The random nature of the contents means you will get things you would not normally choose, which can be a pleasant surprise. For painters, the boxes provide plenty of practice material on models you do not feel particularly invested in.

However, this product is not for everyone. If you want complete, ready-to-build models, or if you prefer knowing exactly what you are getting, you may be better off spending your money on a box of miniatures from a major manufacturer. The blind bits boxes are a gamble, and the contents are heavily weighted toward parts rather than finished models. But for hobbyists who enjoy working with loose parts and don’t mind a little cleanup, the boxes offer a lot of creative potential for the price.

Conclusion

The War Game Exclusive blind bits boxes deliver a large volume of resin parts for a relatively modest price. The contents are varied, mostly clean, and full of creative potential for kitbashers and hobbyists who enjoy working with loose parts. There are some duplicates and minor flaws, but these are easy to work around. If you are looking for a fun gamble that could feed your next conversion project, this is a product worth trying. Just go in with realistic expectations: you are buying parts and spares, not complete models.
