No, but according to Amazon's numbers, 150 bags remain.

I am sure Bungie will alert everyone when the bags will be on.

But, (what people seem to forget), it is IMPOSSIBLE for everyone who wants a bag to get one. There are only 500 and so many want one.

The prudent thing would have been to limit it 1 per customer.
They knew these things were going to sell out fast. There are so many people seeking to get one and no REAL chance of acquiring it because of those who jump on them for self gain (possible resale) and buy multiples.

Limiting them is a different thread.

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 but Bungie would of had to take that up with Amazon and I don't think they could of enforced it.

Since organized communities are usually more enjoyable, you should take your time to read the forum rules to save yourself some trouble and help keep the forums clean :-)

I could have bought near-double digits, but I didn't. With such a huge fanbase and community, and only 500 bags to go around, one is plenty enough, (unless you're really, truly buying extra for friends who wanted one). To each his own, but honestly, I think one was enough.

Some people bought more swag bags for chances of getting really cool and super rare swag.

But, some did it for ebay.

But, they are expensive and I agree, 1 was enough for me also.

Well, there's that too, but there's also a chance that they get the same group of items in all of their bags, haha. That would be quite funny, although kind of sad at the same time.

yesterday at Bungie time 10:00 or something like that.

I bought q before Bungie even announced it.

But I assure you there were hundreds of other people buying a swag bag at once. It was crazy.

I can understand this sentiment. I bought 2 because I'm super pumped and it was worth the $70 to me. The thought also crossed my mind that I may not get what I want in the first one and I could always give some of the stuff to a buddy for his birthday or something. Typical young working guy with money. People getting excited about limited numbers of cool stuff is going to happen. Most of us want to be honest and not resell, and most of us could afford to buy a lot but have a level head and only buy 1-3.

I do honestly feel bad for the people who couldn't get one. I took a sick day for a migrane, woke up around noon and happened to look when they went live. I just lucked into it.

Ah, well then, another question, please:

If I were to buy the Bag O' Swag, and add it to my shopping cart, would that mean I have it to myself, so long as I check out?

Or would I have to add it to cart immediately and proceed to check out to ensure purchasing it?

Man I wish there was a limit on the damn things. I just want one SOOOO bad, and do NOT want to wait for them to be up on Ebay for double the price.

We're the Flintstones kids, ten million strong and growing...

Glass Galaxies - a theme for bungie.net

Per audacia ad astra. Halo Reach | Destiny

I got one. I wasn't sure at first because of crazy shipping, but a few people talked me into it. :)

Looking at the poll results (at the time I voted), here's some quick maths:
16 people wanted one but couldn't get one, 4 people got 5+. That's 20 people in total. Assuming that all of the votes are serious, and assuming (for this example) that all of the 5+ buyers bought exactly 5 each, that's 20 between them. Those 20 would've been enough to provide the 20 total people with a bag each.. If you get what I mean.

Plus you can almost be certain that the ebay ones will have been looted if they try to sell them as *NBO BUNGIE SWAG BAG!!!*. Your best bet is to buy one or two items for individual price if you see swag items on ebay. Never buy the ones promising possible goodies. :|

When you deal with stuff like this, Buy is ASAP.

Becuase you don't know if in 5-10 minutes the entire stock is gone.

Some people bought 4 bags just becuase they want a ton of Swag.

But, that's what happens with limited edition stuff, people tend to buy more than their fair share.

They say they bought them, but really they're stealing from the people who really want them. :3

Do they not realize that other people want to buy some too? Buying more than one robs somebody else of a much wanted Bag 'o Swag.

Yeah, it does, but unfortunately no parameters could be put in place.

It is sad really becuase if so many people didn't buy multiples so many people would also have bag O' swag.

\But, people got greedy, bought extras for friends, or just wanted 6 bags O' swag (which is super $$$).
