My friend is telling me that there were some people on one of the main forums earlier who claimed they figured out how many bags were sold using some method through Amazon.

Using the method, they found out that 350 bags were sold before it got closed. Is this true?

EDIT: So I found out the method used to ascertain just how many bags were left was simply 'Buy 501 bags, get the following error message from Amazon: "We're sorry, but there are only X amount left of this item"

There hasn't been any official word on the number of bags sold.

right, but if some people are amazon-savvy, they probably could have found some data on the number of items sold.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Yes, Bungie said there is no more than 500 so it is logical.

BTW, have you been notified if Bungie has shipped the sacks yet?

I don't think my bags and shirt have sent yet. I tried tracking them a little bit ago and it said they haven't sent yet.

I am hoping they ship them out this afternoon.

Maybe we could get our swag tomorrow or Monday. :D

Really? wow... 0_0

I have ordered stuff before from Bungie and it came in like 2 days and they usually ship the next day.

I was shocked when I read that and a little sad. :'(

READ IT.

I won the Star. With this on Week 18.

This sucks... 500 bags... meaning barely anyone could get them...

I really want one... this is depressing...

That was the point of it.

You have to be lucky and I know I would not of gotten one if I didn't watch.

But, think about it, Bungie does not have enough rare swag to fill thousands of bags. 500 is a good amount.

Just keep watching.

Anybody consider that it's going so slowly because we are all trying to access it and it's not even supposed to be public yet?

Also, if that is the case, it means it's also slowing down for the employee...he's probably going to just get up and go to Outback for a nice Bloomin Onion and we're gonna all be left sitting here wondering what the heck just happened to our mystery man

If that is true then it is sometimes maybe 2-3 hours from now.

But, Bungie said they would tell us.

I feel like one of those people who camp out for releases right about now.

I always thought that was for everytime they put them up for sale. 150 sounds like a possible awnser, but there's only 500 (not much).

It'd be funny if Bungie didn't warn us, and just simply tweeted, "THE SWAG BAGS ARE UP!! GO, PUPPETS! BUY THEM!!".

But still. I hope they warn us because I want swag :(

Honestly, I think they have a lot more than 500 bags, it happens with every company. Bungie will probably be stocking the bags for the next few years. I mean, I'm saying anything wrong towards Bungie, but that pretty much how business works.

I think they don't. Bungie WOULDN'T lie.

Besides, I would imagine that finding enough swag for 500 bags was pushing it as it is.

Thank you Bungie for the 10 years of Halo you've given us it was fun,but now your time with Halo is over and you are now working on a new IP whatever it is I will support it see you starside.

Look, I love Bungie, it is the greatest video game creating group, but let me ask you something, would you rather bye something and the money goes to charity, or would you rather stop the money from going to charity and not getting anything at all. Look I know that most of you think that I'm crazy but, I mean look at all the special edition Halo games, Duke Nukem games, Guitar Hero games, ETC, ETC, now, tell me, what do you think is going on around here? Rare editions become the video games, and doo you want to know what it's called? Marketing. Now, everyone does it, look at the past present, and wait until the near future, am I saying that Bungie is lying? No, I'm just saying companies play "the guessing game" which is also another word for marketing. Do I think Bungie will do it? It depends on what they want to do, it's their gifts, that heir giving to us. They can make as many as they want. Bungie Forever! <3

Bags O' Swag won't be restocked today. I'll give a heads up when they're in the pipe. Charity T-shirts/signed posters are still available.



Sounds pretty clear to me.

It's open-ended as to when they will be restocked, how many will be restocked, is this the last restock?

so many questions.
