Just wondering: are there still other 20th anniversary items yet to be revealed to us?


Yup.

I'll keep everybody in the loop as best I can. Thanks for all the patience. We knew people would dig the Swag Bags and wanted to make them a great value, but we really didn't anticipate this kind of overwhelming response. They're limited because many of them are a mix of new items, historical swag, and signed stuff. We're boxing them all right here in the studio (so some will probably include Bungie dandruff, too!).

oh trolled i wouldnt do that

amazon owes me a bag

  • 06.30.2011 5:08 PM PDT

I don't want them to add more. They were supposed to be 500 and I felt awesome to get 2 of those 500 and I am bit angered that they add some to the pack to 777. It is limited for a reason. It should not end up like halo3 legendary.

It's cool, just very frustrating for everyone. I got my order all the way to confirmation and clicked "Place Order" and all Amazon seemed to do was refresh that page over and over again. Don't know if my card was charged 50 times, probably not since I didn't get an email confirmation or anything, but it's so demoralizing to get that close after trying for hours and hours and failing because of an Amazon technical glitch.

Truth be told, we don't know if they're gone or not. The Amazon store front is experiencing technical issues. As soon as we hear back from them, we'll have a better picture of what in the world is going on and where we're at in terms of numbers.

Sorry for all the confusion. We're trying to keep everybody updated at the same time we're fighting the fires.



My hard work has paid off, I've attracted urk to my thread.

Except I can't get these red chest hairs off of my hands...

Meanwhile Urk can you please shut down the ability to add the Swag Bag to the cart. Or at least get someone to shut it down.


We've been trying to shut it down for a while now. :\

Is everyone who has a bag appearing in their orders section guaranteed to get one? I think a lot of people are feeling the same and worrying whether or not their order is actually theirs.

Sweet more stuff.

well, it looks like Bungie knows about as much as any of us do. i think all the people that were insulting them owe Bungie an apology...

  • 06.30.2011 5:10 PM PDT

Spread the love...

@Urk

Thanks for staying with the community!

I was wondering, I ordered mine and received both a confirmation Amazon Page and Email, so I should be good, right?

And also, how high is the probability that there were more sold then there actually are?

My actual concern now is if too many were ordered and some of us may not get any now O.O


Don't scare those who were lucky enough to order one. >.<

I'm sure they can throw something together if that happens


I don't know, I mean there has to be a set number limit of purchases on Amazon pages so that an automated system can determine when the number of items have been sold out. How do you think we got that error message earlier with the gorilla bags that they had been sold out, then when people cancelled, all the sudden bags opened up.

I'm sure that they're just checking to see the system didn't screw up and allow too many or too little orders go through.

Even if there were more orders than bags, I don't doubt Bungie could scrounge up some more neat stuff for the unexpected buyers and get about a hundred or less bags made.


True, but if we sense something wrong or find out the system somehow messed up, A LOT of people are going to be upset/pissed. D:

Me, well I'll be upset because my debit card has already been charged for the order tonight (my bank notified me). I know it's going to charity and all, but I wanna make sure my money and online order are complying. DX

I'm hoping for some sweet sweet Bungie studios oxygen to be packaged into my box :)

Why be an elitist? That kills the point of this whole campaign. This is Bungie giving back to the community and you want them to limit the number so fewer people can buy them and the people who did buy them can feel special? This is about the memorabilia, not who gets it and who doesn't.

Hey Urk, can you tell us what happens to the people that bought two or more Swag Bags. Do they only get one or do they lose 'em all?

I guess I sounded a bit selfish there. I get what your saying but I just don't want the number of them to get out of hand you know what I mean?

Will you get an alert if Amazon tries to charge your card and the payment doesn't go through? Just as I bought the bag and got my confirmation, I moved money over to my account that I used to buy the bag with. Although my bank site said that transactions won't be accessible till the next day yet my account showed that the available balance was enough for the bag. Just concerned because if my bank screwed up (which wouldn't be the first time) I just wanna make sure I still have secured my bag lol.

waiiit. it says in bungie store and Amazon "in stock" but I tried to buy one and it says there are zero! is this technical difficulties or are they really gone? ive been looking on Bungie.net store and Amazon all day. I decided to take a break and play some reach and stuff for about 2 hours and finally rechecked. my heart soared when it said in stock but when i arrived at the final shipping screen my heart dropped when it said their were zero in stock. If this is true, Bungie should have done a better job of keeping their site updated. Also, why the heck would anyone buy MORE THAN ONE!!! You only need one and I think Bungie should have put a cap on that anyway. In all honesty I think Bungie did a poor job on this aspect of their goodbye to Halo.

  • 06.30.2011 5:13 PM PDT

I want her...

I'm quite lookin forward to seeing what the other new items will be

I see people saying that there orders are saying "Ready To Ship" or something like that, and mine still says "Not Yet Shipped". Does this mean mine messed up? Will I still get one?

I'm sure that just means you ordered it recently. It said that on mine for a while, and it just switched to "Shipping Soon". Don't worry about it.
I ordered it through the Gorilla Print stuff earlier, and people who bought around the same time are saying they have that message, which is why I am worried that I don't.

The Gorilla print stuff was confirmed ok by bungietweets, so if that's what you're worried about, it's ok. Also, I'm fairly sure you can attribute that lack of email over this time to
Amazon lag. You'll get it eventually, even though others have it now.

I've been trying to get that point across for hours now. It was on AMAZON'S end, not Bungie's.

The last thing I expected you to be able to do now is post 3 consecutive posts in this thread XD but it's much much appreciated. Thanks for keeping us up to date.
