Whoever has been managing the cluster -blam!- going on with the bags o' swag seriously needs to have less jobs. I don't know that I've ever seen such poor communication from any company.
First Bungie and Amazon fail to prepare for the massive server strain that the seventh column ALWAYS generates (remember how -blam!- the first several days of xbox live multiplayer are for every Halo game, ever?). Anyone who's observed how huge the fanbase here is should have seen an accidental DDOS coming a mile away, especially with the asinine "only at 10:00 AM PST" specification.
Then they covertly put up more BoS's without mentioning to the twitter guy that, hey, maybe he should mention that?
Compounding these errors, the secret BoS's weren't even originally listed as Bungie products? Now the store says they're in stock, but there are none left.
Dear Bungie, some member of your marketing department is made of AIDS and fail, or at least hilarious and (somehow, simultaneously) infuriating incompetence.
I'm disappointed that I didn't get a BoS, whatever, I can get similar merchandise cheap online from the hundreds of stores selling non-licensed stuff. The bigger issue is that you have a head-bludgeoning victim running the show.
EDIT: I actually rescind my statement, it's entirely possible that the management only wanted the little kiddies and neckbeards with no jobs and unlimited amounts of free time to have a chance to buy these. If that was your plan, well done! I congratulate your massive success at achieving this goal.
