I'm UK, so there was no sleeplessness required, my dedication was shown in the shipping fees I had to stump up. Like you say, I knew it was starting today. Checked the store, saw the empty 20th Anniversary bit, found your thread, F5d for about 5 hours, got my bags.

People who didn't manage to get one can't blame people who wanted more than one. If every bag was the same I'd have bought one, but I want to get as much awesome stuff as possible so maximised my chances. I'm not do this for profit or resale value.

I mean, at the least you should have been on from 9am PST when the Bungie guys would be arriving at work.

Doesn't change the fact that buying 4 bags is still a bit ridiculous.

People do have things to do that don't involve sitting at a computer and hitting F5 in the morning, you do realize?

Anyone whining about not getting one needs to take a reality check. I spent about 5 hours today hitting F5 and for my trouble I was able to secure 4 bags, I also had to stump up the crazy $70 shipping to the UK.

You guys just didn't want it enough. :)
At first, I had planned to stay up until 3AM bungie time, because that's when the challenges restart, and technically, that's when a new "Halo day" begins. After not seeing any pop-up or special playlist in Halo Reach, I came to the forums. Browsed around for a bit, and checked the bungie store periodically.

I noticed 20th Anniversary items, made the thread, stayed up another like 5 hours, went to the store to buy 5 hour energy shots, F5ed like a boss, and was finally able to snag 4 bags and 2 posters. I gave up my mental functionality for these bags and posters.


In the process, I made, what I believe to be, a kick-ass OP, I met a lot of cool people, and me and my F5 bros ALL got what we wanted. They [the bags] were up for at least an hour after they were first posted.

We all knew the festivities started on the 23rd, and if you were hardcore enough about bungie, you would have stayed sleepless like me.


That seems pointless, I just got up and bought one. No f5ing required.

Haha yeah, they were up for a little over an hour. I guess you lucked out.

I just wanted to make sure I got something.

You wanna talk about ridiculous?

I have a Halo room in my house, where everything in it is Halo themed. My kid's middle name is Spartan. On Halo 3 launch day I spent over £1000 (which is nearly $2000) on Halo stuff. I live and breathe Halo, almost all of my wardrobe is Halo or Bungie.

I flipping LOVE HALO and there was going to be nothing that got in the way of me and these swag bags. Also my F5 spree happened whilst I was supposed to be working, so I definitely had better things to be doing.. I just elected to put them off until tomorrow in order to secure some swag.

I do feel bad for people who didn't manage to get one, but I don't feel bad for getting more than one.

EDIT: I'm also bidding on Bungie's ebay items, thought by the looks of things they may escape my price range. :(

the blue flame shirt is back...

now back to deciding if I think the cost is justified. And wondering if they're awesome enough to combine my shipments.

I bet not.

You deserve a bag. Maybe 2. Possibly 3. You are me in 10 years.

Does anyone know what happened to the Halo 3 BR and Marine Armor that was on Ebay?

They never went up from what I had seen. They were listed and pictured in their own news article, but I don't think they've gone up for bidding yet.

Or maybe I missed it, and there was some kind of mistake that had to be corrected or something.

Edit- there are a bunch of things up now I missed a few hours ago, so I'm not sure about anything, haha.

Oh wow, that's gonna go for a -potato!- load of money, no doubt!

Haha, I sure do wish I had the finances for that, but oh well. Still a beautiful piece of work nonetheless.

- Dragon Ball/Z/GT and it's merchandise are awesome.
- All "abriged" parodies are hilarious.

Intolerance is the highest level of stupidity and inbred thinking.

MI: 5213901 UI: 5244621

I was working, and I had a spare moment, so I checked the store from my phone, saw the swag bags on sale, and hurriedly called my lovely mother, and politely asked her to buy one for me. Of course, as any fine mother would,, she obliged, and bought me one. I am glad that I managed to get one.

Now, $10 for shipping. I'm not so glad. Bungie, could you guys just hold onto my bag for me, and then I can drive to your studio and pick it up myself? I mean, I'm like 20 minutes from you guys... No shipping required!

I'm excited to see what I'll be getting in my bag. Now I'm deciding if I want a t-shirt or that one poster. But that one poster is $40...

  • 06.23.2011 3:29 PM PDT

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

I hope we will receive emails, or something of the sort on shirt sizes. We should of had an option, but I suppose we can hope for the best.

I purchased my Swag Bag within the hour of release, I am hoping I was one of the lucky 500 ~.~

komark I want to say thank you for inviting me to your party as soon as they went up. I probably wouldn't hav gotten my two bags if it wasn't for you.

That's because I'm awesome.

I sent about 10 people a text and alerted everyone I could.

I'd like to thank you all for participating in this thread, it was a blast making it, and it was awesome having all of you guys participate in it.

I'd still like it if bungie would make clear if they're going to introduce NEW items, or just RESTOCK current items.

I love how they have reviews of the swag bags already, and all 7 reviews are 5-stars, and each one is complaining that they're out of stock.

I really would like one of those shirts, but shipping seems quite expensive. I get its from US to the UK but $30 to ship a $20 shirt puts me off :(
