Subject: Another Swag Bag Question: "An honest $30 of Swag"

Challenge me to a Hawaiian Punch chugging contest. I dare you.

$.50 in store credit.

So i've got another question about the Swag Bags. In the Bungie Store it says "At worst, you'll get an honest thirty bucks worth of swag. At best, you'll get something worth so much more."

Now in the picture the Bag looks like it's pretty loaded with goodies. But by the bag you also see several shirts, a toy, what looks like a Reach soundtrack, and what i believe is the Halo 3 collectors edition. Now my question is, what counts as and "honest thirty bucks" of swag?

I mean, the current shirts in the store cost around $20. The toy looks like it could be a Comic-Con exclusive and that could be $30 itself to some people. So is it possible to get a bag with a single $30+ item?

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

I think you get MUCH more than $30.00 worth.

It appears the sack is filled with many things.

I think that's the best case scenario (the picture). One of those really rare cases.

Stupid colonels trying to talk down to people above them. They're like the homeless people of Halo's socioeconomic scale. They stink, they get in the way, they abuse people they shouldn't and they think they can do anything.

Get out of here you smelly colonels.

So all the people buying these things and worrying about getting one before it goes out of stock don't even know what they're buying?

  • 06.29.2011 1:36 PM PDT

Nope.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK COMES IN THE SWAG BAGS? MORE SPECIFICALLY, WHAT COMES IN MY SWAG BAG? YOU KNOW, THE ONE THAT I GOT
$30 of coal sounds nice about now.

w00t w00t

Check out my Gaming Rig on EVGA Mod Rigs.

I'm sure no matter what they won't let us down. IMO, a few specialized Bungie items or whatever is coming inside of the bag is well worth $30 to me.
Even a couple of T-Shirts is worth $30 and I'm sure we'll all be getting some much cooler stuff than that!

To be fair, nearly every post you have made in the last week has been about the swag bag you got...

It's like your damn star all over again.

I expect a "bad" bag to have some stickers, a key ring, a fridge magnet, a figure, a shirt and maybe a book or CD.

About $30 worth of stuff, but still a good mix of swag.

I'd say $30 would be a special shirt from Bungie that they don't have in the store, or some small items like action figures and soundtracks.

I with I could of gotten one. I would of freaked when I could of expected $30 of stuff and then gotten a bag of Zunes like Urk said. :P

  • 06.29.2011 2:28 PM PDT

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

The picture is there for illustrative purposes, not to show what you actually get with your bag. The majority of them will only come with $30 worth of stuff... a t-shirt and maybe an action figure or two. A signed poster if you're lucky.

Expecting a good deal of expensive stuff is unrealistic. Remember, they're doing this to raise money.

When he was younger, he was the one who always had the jokes and riddles that would keep the spirits of the Spartans high. Over the years however, his lifetime of combat had hardened him, as it had all of the Spartans. Within Will, John thought, something special had been lost.

If that was all we should expect there wouldn't be limited supply. Limited is the entire point behind these. There are no generic swag bags, the contents will be fairly random. That said there is probably, though, an outline as to what goes in it. If they have three or four basic categories of items, however random, expect to see at least one of every category in each bag. That's how I'd divy them out. Random is going to mean a very wide range of rarity. Expect some of us to get luckier than others.

You have to remember they're pretty much loosing money on this. It'd be awesome if it was stuffed to the top like that, and I'm not saying they're not, but don't be surprised if they're not either. Especially if they wanted enough supplies to shell out 500+.

I just saw a green monkey nut shot a small tan lizard(?) in a gunny sack.

I'd like to think that the contents shown in the picture are best-case-scenario, and that we might see some of those individual items scattered across other swag bags.

This is my guess.

I guess that at worst, you'll get like 2 t-shirts, and at best, who knows.

A 3 pound, 19 by 14 inch bag could hold a good deal of swag. :D
