Frequently Asked Questions
When does my presale order ship?
Presale orders will ship on or before December 31, 2026 (US) and January 31, 2027 (EU). Games arrive at our warehouses first, and the
warehouse needs 7–14 business days to receive and check them in before orders go out. Once your
order is with the carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), delivery typically takes 1–7 business days.
Factory-to-warehouse timing involves estimates at every leg. We'll send updated, more specific dates as
each stage is confirmed, and you'll get a shipping confirmation with tracking the moment your order
leaves
What’s the difference between the Bandle City Edition and the Classic Edition?
Same game, two different builds. Both editions contain the full ten-mission cooperative campaign, the same rules, the same missions, and the same cards. What changes is the physical components and the box.
| Classic Edition | Bandle City Edition | |
|---|---|---|
| Boss and 4 Mechs | Hand-painted sculpted miniatures | Full-color acrylic standees, illustrated on both sides |
| 100 Minions | Sculpted miniatures (4 designs), hand-washed for detail | Punchboard tokens |
| The Bomb | Sculpted miniature, hand-washed | Full-color acrylic standee |
| Gear Tracker | Large dual-layer board with spot UV | Compact dual-layer board with spot UV; integrates with the minion storage box to track minion kills, team gears, and doom |
| Gear Markers | Two weather-washed custom metal coins | Wooden markers fitted to the gear tracker |
| Rune Coins | Four weather-washed custom metal coins | Four double-sided punchboard coins |
| Zhonya's Minuteglass | Working sand timer, stamped "1" so it doubles as the first-player marker | Punchboard token |
| Crystal Compass | Acrylic piece, illustrated on both sides | Punchboard token |
| Box | 514 × 343 × 118 mm | 300 × 300 × 122 mm, sized to fit a standard game shelf |
Both boxes have built-in storage designed for their components. Both gear trackers have spots for the rune coins so you can see your rune activation status at a glance.
The Classic Edition is for people who want the original components preserved. The Bandle City Edition is for people who want the same game in a box that gets to the table faster and takes up less shelf.
What’s the Skin Card Set?
Skin cards are optional cosmetic cards for the four playable champions. You pick one during setup alongside your schematic cards. They don't change gameplay; they change how your character looks, the same way a skin does in League of Legends.
Both editions include 12 skin cards, three per champion:
- Original: Corki, Heimerdinger, Tristana, Ziggs
- Fantasy: Corgi Corki, Dragon Trainer Heimerdinger, Faerie Court Tristana, Master Arcanist Ziggs
- Invaders: UFO Corki, Alien Invader Heimerdinger, Omega Squad Tristana, Battle Boss Ziggs
Every presale order also includes a fourth set of four cards that's free with the presale: Arcade Corki, Arcane Professor Heimerdinger, Hextech Tristana, and Hextech Ziggs. It ships alongside your game.
You don't need to know League of Legends to use them. If you do play, this is where you'll recognize a favorite.
Can I buy both editions?
Yes. There is a limit of 1 copy per edition per customer. You can add one Bandle City Edition and one Classic Edition to the same order.
Where do you ship?
United States and the European Union: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden.
How is shipping calculated?
Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your location and the weight of your order. Rates are below.
Can I cancel my presale order?
Yes. Cancel any time before 11:59 PM PT on October 31, 2026 for a full refund. After that, orders will ship to the address provided and will be subject to our standard return policy (we accept unopened products back). You will be responsible for return shipping.
Will there be more inventory after presale?
Yes. The Bandle City Edition is coming to retail in the US in November and in Europe in December, and
our goal is to keep it widely available. It may take some time to get there. We are also working with
Blackrock Games to make the games available in French in Europe as well as Devir Iberia to make the
game available in Spanish in Europe and South America.
The Classic Edition is a commemorative run for collectors and fans of the original, and will be available
for a limited time. The presale Skin Card Set is included for free with presale orders and may be available
later for sale.
