Everytime someone sacks my groceries, I think of Loaf.

I would say shame more than jealousy. You only need 1. People that buy 15 then strip the bag of anything good then sell them on eBay way overpriced don't deserve one.

Has anyone done that though?

I really do think whoever said they bought 15 was just trollin' all the people who didn't get one.

Well the bags haven't been shipped. But it's basically guaranteed someone is planning on doing that.

15 was just a random number But I'm sure someone bought 10 or so for that purpose.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

OTK

I need your clothes, your boots and your mobility scooter

Ten people bought 5 or more. That's at least 50 already O.o

No wonder they went so quick.

No.

There were only 500 (if that) available.

This is a community numbering in the thousands (if not millions), and the price of the bags is hardly prohibitive to most people.

They sold out so quickly because that is a very small supply for huge demand and the price did not reflect that. Economics 101.

Well yeah, they went quick because people wanted them but the fact that people bought 5 or more contributed to how quickly they sold.

I know a guy who bought like 15 Grifball Spartans when they came out so he could sell them. I'm sure some people bought that many of these. I'd guess we'll see a lot of the individual swag sold instead of in the original bag, unless they come sealed in something.

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

When 13 people can take more than ten percent of the supplies you know something is wrong. -_-


This

The poll kind of resembles the share of the richest people in global income.

I believe that Bungie should release the EXACT time the bags will be restocked at least a day prior to doing so. This gives the community the ability to rest their f5 buttons and relax because they won't restock until i.e 12:00 PST on friday.
Just give us a time bungie, that's all we are asking for.

Well look at the signed posters, 13 people would be able to buy more than 10% of the supply if they only bought one each.

The fact is, these are very limited, no matter what happened there would be hundreds if not thousands of disappointed people. Many of the people who managed to get bags had sat at their computers for half a day hitting refresh. No-one has been cheated, some people were willing and able to sacrifice the time and money in order to get their bags. Some people want to be able to stroll up at whatever time is convenient to them and order a bag. That's just not possible.

Even if it had been limited to one per person most people in this thread still wouldn't have one because they weren't online at the appropriate time.

Y'know what's going to be really funny?

When people who have already secured themselves 4 or 5 bags are sat there on Thursday hitting F5 so they can secure themselves even more bags.

What are we supposed to be discussing here?


"Nothing in the 'Verse can stop me."

It may be selfish but I'd like to get 2 or 3 this Thursday. If the bags are mostly the same I may sell them to others on my own. I'm selfish but I don't need 2 or 3 of the same 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

At that point they are likely trying to profit by reselling the bags to desperate fans. Really sad, and unethical business practice. But I can't say they won't make a pretty penny off of it.

Let's be honest, it could be a lot worse.

Buy yourself a swag bag and then let your son play with the box it comes in. Kids love boxes.
