Well I'm pissed. I would have just been normally disappointed if I didn't get one by being to slow or not checking, but for being hesitant against being scammed on the internet without any word from Bungie... I'm pissed.


I don't understand this logic. Why would you cancel the order so quickly? I mean, you have until the item ships, which is going to be at least a week. Why not place the order and then wait for confirmation, with plenty of time left to cancel?

I'm so mad right now.

SO MAD.

I feel abandoned and hurt. Why Bungie? I've had faith in you for a long time. Why?

it's ok. I called Gorilla Screen Printing place, and they said they only print for Bungie. The guy even said that they would not sell them. So don't buy that one, or cancel your orders.


But Halyclon (or something) confirmed it.

He even had the guts to put a heart symbol, after totally betraying pretty much the entire bungie community, in which half of them didn't get any sleep.

So mad.

Halyclon confirmed it, but they guy I talked to said they would not sell them and he even said it was illegal. I don't kno who to trust anymore!

I believe (hope) so. I just ordered mine, and it states it is shipping from the Bungie Store.

This, but didn't it say 6 day shipping? And after you bought it, it says it will be shipped anywhere from mid-late July.

That's a little fishy.


I believe it said 6-14 day shipping


My order says Delivery Estimate - July 14 - 22nd.

This crashed and burned.

Many people lost out on a swag bag becuase they didn't know if they could trust the seller.


And many people lost out on bags because they had work. Or their internet went out. Or their baby started crying.

While I can attest to this, it's far more aggravating having the power at your finger tips and not taking it because of a possible scam.

I wouldn't say I'm angry about how this happened, but I can say that I'm very displeased in how we weren't even made aware. I can understand that Amazon's servers may have melted again, but to create another profile with no ties--except the bag--to Bungie.

Giving us no clues and no last minute heads up.

Because their was no previous word that Bungie would be selling from a different account. It could EASILY have been anyone copying Bungie trying to scam people or just to troll.

All those people who were going to be discerning in their purchase and wait for some confirmation just got screwed. Love you too.

Fine, so you wait a couple of hours (or even a day) for official word, and THEN cancel the order.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

I definitely enjoyed waiting two hours to have Bungie sell the swag bags through a group confirmed to be legit after the fact.

I've learned over the years to be cautious about listening to whiners and resisting the urge to complain myself until I was sure it was legitimate. But, this? This is bull.

Freakin' delightful.

  • 06.30.2011 12:16 PM PDT

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

We waited for 2 hours and they didn't even post on here to tell us they were going to be sold through a different provider? Jesus, I seriously can't believe this.

They HAVE to have some way to fix this. This is a dickslap to the community-bigger than any problems with the Halo 3/Halo Reach betas.

I am royally no godly pissed at this situation. Thanks Bungie I thought i could trust you. It turns out none of us can.

  • 06.30.2011 12:19 PM PDT

Not the way I wanted to remember Bungie. I had no problem with possibly missing out on the Bag O' Swag by not being quick enough.

But selling through another carrier without letting any of your fanbase, you know the ones who F5'd for 2 hours straight, know.

Pretty disappointed.

  • 06.30.2011 12:19 PM PDT

the people who stuffed the bags, Halcylon is a Bungie Contractor.

Disappointed as well. Not that I didn't get to place an order for a bag, I did (luckily enough), but I'm still awaiting official confirmation before taking my finger off the 'Cancel Order' button. Not being provided with any information, and directly causing many to miss out of even the chance of snagging a swag bag, definitely leaves them with some egg on their face.

Still, I think we should be grateful we even had the opportunity to begin with. How many other companies host events like this one for their fans to celebrate an anniversary?

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.

He's a Bungie contractor. I Imagine he and a bunch of others helped to stuff the bags with goodies.

It's confirmed, don't fret. :)

Although it is a disappointment that they didn't even give a heads up. A lot of dedicated people lost their chance for being cautious.
