More are being put up. I'd tried to purchase one like 6 times and I just tried again and got one.

If I had one wish for Bungie.net, it would be to be able to change my username. Even if it cost me Microsoft Fun-Money, Space Bucks, or Stosh Dollars. That is all.

Bungie handled this worse than an autistic epileptic handles a football.

Just...wow. I hope your joking.


I'm not an employee so I'm not speaking on behalf of them. I was merely relaying that it was confirmed legit based on Halcylon's post. I was unaware they had already sold out. My apologies on that front. It wasn't meant to come off as rude but rather a legitimate "best wishes."

I'm unsure why they changed the seller, but I have to assume it was with the best of intentions.


Best intentions? A simple tweet saying "Trust the Gorilla" or somthing of that nature would have been under the best intentions. That's all it would have taken. Again, Fans are loyal to Bungie, but Bungie isn't loyal to fans.

I think if you f5 your page that tells you why you can't order it will let you through, it did for me!

Well I managed to get one with the 1 click buy then went back to try to get a second for my girlfriend before realizing the limit is 1 per person. Hopefully my first order still went through because under my account it says the order is confirmed and I have the invoice and order number but haven't received an email notification. If I end up not getting one because I didn't notice the limit I'll be very upset.

At least now I can finally go about my day and stop waiting on Bungie's horribly inaccurate ETAs and infrequent twitter updates.

Got one Ordered. just kept trying. Use one click buy.

  • 06.30.2011 12:28 PM PDT

This was a major blunder. I'm really sad that Bungie did something like this. I'm hoping that there is some kind of explanation for why this was done. Thank god I got mine in the first batch, but sorry to everyone who didn't get to buy one because of the lack of information. :(

  • 06.30.2011 12:28 PM PDT

READ IT.

I won the Star. With this on Week 18.

Ummmmm... seem those multiple orders are still being canceled... I just kept trying and finally got a bag.... holy -blam!-...

  • 06.30.2011 12:29 PM PDT

I JUST GOT ONE!!!!

Sorry for caps but I just kept trying to order and it went through! :D

So we should risk losing our credit card information to purchase something from them? I wouldn't mind if they confirmed it after they were put up, but just that there was no confirmation until nearly after all of them were gone really angers me.

Sometimes you just have to take a chance and go for it, yeah it would've been bad if it was a scam, but it looks like it isn't now, so I'm glad I took the chance.

It's my barb---err action figure and I will dress him how I please.

I love that everyone is blaming Bungie...we were the one's that ddos'd amazon and the Bungiestore. We the Community demanded satisfaction and they gave it to us.

YOU were the ones to jump the gun and cancel your orders before anything was said. Amazon is a safe and secure sight and it was confirmed to be legit...Yet you took your anger out on a forum ninja that was just confirming and being kind...he didn't have to pop in here to tell you :P

Sure they didn't let us know that they changed it to Gorilla and to Bag of Swag immediately, but they did get the Bag of Swag up on amazon.

You've only yourselves to blame for jumping the gun...not Bungie.

Agreed.

I feel bad about complaining, though. D:

  • 06.30.2011 12:29 PM PDT

You go that way, I'll go home!

GUYS, i think they're freeing up stock from people who purchased >1 bags. My order just went thru and I've been constantly trying to re-checkout for the past 20 min.
SO KEEP TRYING

To the people saying its unfair because they hesitated with the whole Gorilla print thing, you KNEW they were going to sell out in an instant.

Sometimes you just have to take a chance and go for it, yeah it would've been bad if it was a scam, but it looks like it isn't now, so I'm glad I took the chance.

This isn't Bungie's fault, it probably would've been hours before they got their original page updated and working. This was a smart move, and I think it was a better choice to find an alternative way of selling them rather than making the community wait for what might have been a long time.

And who knows, maybe they cut off sales like last time, maybe there are more to come, we'll just have to wait and see.


QFT

You guys need to calm down a bit, I'm sure there will be another chance. I'm sure that they had no choice, and amazon was probably involved in making a new page due to the troubles the other bag o swag page was having.


I agree with QFT.
So many people on this thread said "sold by bungie store" "links to bungie's actually store" "seller profile takes me to bungie store"

How many of you would be mad if you didn't get one anyways? This just gives you a reason to be mad.
