Subject: Bungie employees, you need to read this!!!

5 out of 6 pediatricians can't tell the difference between a resident vagabond and a local hobo.

So, what made those posters so valuable anyways? Considering they are just reproductions, I don't get why they were $100.

*Note I'm not saying this in a fanboy voice lol* I think its because Marcus Lehto signed them? I can't remember if he did or didn't. But thats why.

Well, there not so valuable right now. Although, if sold right now, they would probably be worth $150-$200 (Not that I will ever sell mine) And yes, it was also signed by Marcus Lehto, the guy that designed Mister Chief I believe. The value could go up to $500 or so in 1-2 years, or even more then that! Just look at these Mass Effect 2 Litho's that were released only a year ago, they MSRP was only $60! There selling for $1,000 on Ebay right now!

And here is a 2nd listing, that sold for $900!

It will be interesting to see how much these limited prints go for in the future.

I <3 you too Bungie

The swag bags were the only thing I've ever gotten from Bungie that were crap. And they were only crap because they were masticated beyond value during shipping. Kinda surprised there was/is no fix. I paid $15 for shipping 2 swag bags and they weren't even boxed for safety.

Aparently Bungie want's to maximize there profits for charity. The bags their shipping things in cost nothing...... well probably $0.05 cents each. But boxes would be $0.50 cents to $1.00 each. What Bungie doesn't realize is, the more damaged shipments people receive, the more refunds they have to hand out. Therfore, them trying to save money by using bags instead of boxes is shot down the toilet. Just my theory though.

Important update. Bungie has responded! Good news too.

Bungie has officialy responded to my emails, saying exactly this "Thank you for the information. We have changed to all tube shipping for posters and prints."

& this

"We are getting things sorted out here, and will ship your other posters with better protection. You will get a replacement or refund for your damaged poster, please stand by."

So it's very, very good news indeed! Thanks Bungie!

Mass Effect is probably the biggest competition Halo and Star Wars will ever have... I think...

Not only it being signed. Way back when in one of the old bungie studios when it rained and it came from the east the building would leak the original got water stained. They iimported real water from near by and put it on each pront exactly as the original.

  • 07.15.2011 10:10 PM PDT

Wake me, when you need me.

Wow. Someone has actually accomplished something by complaining to Bungie.

That's a first.

You know, I'm still pretty confused about that. Did they really dribble water on certain parts of the print? Amazing to think so :).

I'm beginning to think it wasn't only me, as several people received damaged prints. Any company with common sense will see the problem, and fix it.

Bungie doesn't want to have a bad atmosphere around a charity event...

Awesome news about the upgraded shipping. That makes me much happier. My MC concept art print should be safe and sound now. :)

Thanks for emailing them and thank you, Bungie, for listening.

Yes, they will be packing things better from now on! Hopefully you will get emails about replacing your print as well.

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

Well maybe this change in shipping methods explains the massive delay in my order's arrival. I hope so, at least.
