Subject: Only 150 Bags left?

Didn't you already say this?

So wait, is it true that the first 350 sold in around 30 minutes? Because if so, that means our window to try and snag part of the second batch is around ten minutes, give or take.
Sadface.

First 350 sold in about hour and fifteen minutes. But the last 150 will definitely go at a faster rate than the first 350.

Okay so it's all but been confirmed that there are ONLY 500.
Ant it looks like 150 might be a pretty good estimate on how many are left.

They went on sale yesterday at 9:45 almost exactly. The sale ended about an hour and ten minutes after that.

Talk about selling/buying things from other users is frowned upon in the forums. But if you really wanted one, you could keep an eye on ebay. Usually there are people out there who put these kinds of things on sale there.

  • 06.24.2011 2:51 PM PDT

If they have as many of these as they do copies of reach legendary edition, then they will be selling them for the next 800 years, they were "limited" also, pffft....

  • 06.24.2011 3:01 PM PDT

500? That's a ridiculously low number.

Perhaps, but think about it:
The listing for the swag bag specifically said "Limited Edition Run of 500"
And it was pulled about an hour after going up for sale. 350 bags sounds like a reasonable amount that could be sold within that time frame.
Furthermore, they aren't going to put them back for sale until next week, further proof that they want to elongate the time before they run out of stock for good.

I'm starting to think Bungie shouldn't have charged $30 for these, maybe it should have been a blind auction or something.

Everyone says how much they're willing to pay, the highest $500 bids get a bag and the money goes to charity.

  • 06.24.2011 3:18 PM PDT

Oh I wasn't saying you were wrong, but rather that 500 is a ridicilously low number of bags for them to produce. I could understand 3,000 or maybe even 1,000; but 500 is ridiculous.

For instance, Microsoft earned $200 million from Halo: Reach on the first day. If you do the math, that comes out to about 3 million copies were sold on the first day.

3,000,000/500=6000

Or about 1 out of every 6,000 of their fans will be getting Swag Bags. Heck, with those odds I'm more likely to win a local lottery than I am to get a swag bag.

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

OMG, I won the lottery with the swag bag. :D

But, it is meant to be limited.

While I doubt all 3 million would pay the $40+ for the bag, you do have a valid point.

In a way I wish Bungie had produced a little more bags to keep the community happy, but in a way I wish they kept them very limited the way they did.

But the cool thing about making less is that Bungie has more room to fill more bags with more valuable items than if they made thousands of bags.

You're right, that is one big plus for those who managed to swag.

350? that does not make any sense?

Its suppose to last over a 2 week period how is 500 going to last this long over 2 weeks? id think 250 in 1 week at a time makes alot more sense selling 350 in the first day doesn't make any sense as a customer and differently does not make sense as a good sales move at all...

Do as someone mentioned on here about there being more i could see it happening...... look at the halo reach legendary edition that was suppose to be like what a couple thousand units only? And there still selling it.....

But again 350 in one day doesn't make sense at all.

Bungie only made 500 swag sacks and they didn't expect them to sell out so fast so they cut out sales at like 350.

There should be 150 left.

  • 06.25.2011 7:05 AM PDT

History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.

350 is a complete guess. We don't know how many were sold. But they ran out fast before and are likely to go even faster when they do go back up.
