My tracking information never updated from Electronic shipping info received, July 12, 2011. It went straight from that to - Your order has been delivered. Checked my front door and it was there.

Their tracking is all sorts of messed up.

Make choices, and don't look back.

Well they are shipping into next week an employee said. It is taking a long time for some unfortunately.

Nice!

Mine says "electronic shipping info received June 30 2011" and it still says that, over half a month later. :-/

Has anyone else recieved their bag and been extremely let down by what came inside? I don't want to seem ungrateful but the only items that get the bag up to its $30 value are toys... which I can buy down the street. I got an XXXL t-shirt that will never in a million years fit. And two stickers. I didn't even get the card for the Bungie foundation.

I imagine a lot of people were, but that's just kinda part of the deal.

Here's mine.

I think I got the worst bag in this thread. If the tshirt wasn't for women, I'd be happy. But there's nothing I can do about it. Some people had my exact bag, but at least had concept art or sketches of some kind.

Xbox Live Gamertag: RogueWolf I77V (Halo 2, Halo 3)
Xbox Connect Gamertag: RogueWolf_I77V (Halo, Halo 2)
Xfire Gamertag: roguewolfi77v (Halo PC)

I have received my posters, but everything else I ordered is in shipping limbo! lol oh well I'm very patient.

I hope my swag bag has at least 1 thing rare, By looking at everyone elses bags, They are just getting like 4 items. I hope i get something different since everyone else looks like has been getting the same exact items. The main thing i really want would be halo CE PC or the Halo Xbox 360 controller. That would make my bag awesome!

Lol, Halo PC. You can get that cheap now, not exactly rare or worth a lot. About, 15 of the American dollars probably. Unless you mean Halo Mac, that is definitely worth something.


I know you can get it cheap, but i don't feel like searching around stores looking for it. I haven't seen Halo 1 CE for the PC in stores around me for a long time :/
Here ya go.

Looks like bungie really screwed all of this up, I don't care what any one says "oh it's for charity".

Look at the first batch of bags they were amazing (games, soundtracks, one off items, original sketches, 2 shirts, sweatshirts).. Now every one else gets left over -blam!- basically, 2 action figures womens/xxxl shirt and the same book... yay awesome..

If you received a bag in the 2nd or 3rd wave and saw the 10+ items most bags were getting in the first wave you were excited, then you get basically 1/10th of that in yours and looks like every one else is getting the exact same stuff now.

I seriously think that These photocopied sketches, they probably put in 15+ bags, just made copies and put them in multiple ones just for people to have because they were running out of stuff and put to much in earlier bags.

They should have had 777 bags made up at the start at one time, not "let's make 400 bags with awesome stuff, then make 377 bags with the left over junk".. Seriously thinking of putting mine up on eBay.

I agree. you got the absolute worst bag. and it isn't fair. if you look at wave 1 bags some people got two shirts a messenger bag stickers multiple games multiple soundtracks and also one of a kind items.

you got... two toys a book and a womens medium....

wtf bungie...

  • 07.16.2011 10:36 AM PDT

and i seriously doubt its worth 30 dollars

Each of those 4 items you listed probably retails for $10 or more, so yeah it is worth the $30 by that definition.

  • 07.16.2011 10:41 AM PDT

no dude.. you can find those exact items, except maybe the shirt.. for less that thirty.

im starting to think it was a bad idea for everyone to post pictures, because now people are complaining "he got something cool and i didnt, all i got was this lousy t-shirt"

but that bag... eff that bag dude. that bag is messed up.

  • 07.16.2011 10:43 AM PDT

Hello! You may also know me as Ijnekono. How you have made your way here I do not know, but welcome. (:

I think it's worth $30.00 since most figures are about $15.00 each. Still, your right; it isn't that great of a bag compared to others'.

If a Grunt has a sticky stuck to his head, and no one is around to see or hear it, does it still run in circles screaming,"Get it off, Get it off !"?

I must admit, my second bag I received today (first came yesterday) was not as good as I expected. It was the same as the first with a shirt, a sticker, a Spartan action figure, a vehicle figure, and a folder with scans. Except my first came with great Oni scans, the second had like 5 pages of barely visible pencil sketches of some nonsense I can't even see it's so light.

But hey, the second bag was for my friend.

This, more or less. I mean, we all knew it'd be random Swag from the studio the true question of it was how much they had and what specifically it would be, that was half the fun of buying the bags. Now the issue is just this: We're comparing, seeing who got what and how many things in total.

In addition to that it doesn't help that Urk had posted a comment on Neogaf about how the emailed staff asking to donate things personally...

"Technically" yeah the bag is worth more then $30.. The halo graphic novel sells for $25 + 2 action figures.. But compared to all the bags in the first wave, just doesn't seem like you got your "moneys worth" knowing you got the short end of the stick.

I didn't say what you can "find them" for, I said what they retail for. And I imagine that's the measuring stick that Bungie is/was using.

  • 07.16.2011 10:53 AM PDT

All of this has made me not very excited for my bag. :(

Is it true that Bungie is extending Bag shipments through the coming week?

  • 07.16.2011 10:55 AM PDT
