I just got my Bag O Swag and quite frankly am a little let down. I am not being greedy and am not complaining I am just letting others from the 2nd wave to not expect a lot. I assume Bungie wanted to have more Swag Bags to give others a chance but had to slim down on what was in them so they could have more.

I don't have pictures because I am to lazy but all I received was.

Halo 3 Helmet Pack, Halo 3 Ghost, a female T-Shirt, and a COPIED"Not original" of what looks like directions and angles of a Cut Scene from Halo 2.

Others were getting 1-2 Shirts, Strategy Guides, Collectible Figures, Halo 1's Halo 2s, Myth, Stickers, and Hoodies. Every single picture I seen uploaded in the top 500 Bag o Swag post is 2-3x bigger.

I am still happy with what I got and am glad it all goes to a good cause. Good luck with your bags everyone!

It's not actually signed it's just a Charity card telling you where the money is going and it's all copied signatures.

You got wave 3, wave 2 just started shipping today and yesterday. Also I know wave 3 got hit pretty hard, but what about wave 2 they're getting shipped last? Also that copied halo 2 cutscene, multiple people got those, but hey bungie delivered. Your bag is worth $30 afterall.

Oh well. Still awesome to have just look on the bright side of it. There will only be less than 1000 swag bags distributed and you just happened to have one!

I'd be glad to have that had I been lucky enough to get a bag.

A T-shirt 15$(And that's being generous) Ghost Figure 7$ new and Helmet Pack 7$ that's 29$ (Some places I seen them Figures for 5$ new but I went with the median) and the Halo 2 Cutscene I suppose is priceless.

I am not upset. I am still happy I got one I just guess they had to limit supplies because they wanted to make the community happy and make more bags.

Grow up. You are complaining no matter how much you claim you aren't. That shirt is worth 20 dollars, all of them are in the Bungie store. And if the Halo 2 stuff is "priceless" that means it's way over 30 dollars.

Actually it was to prevent a riot due to canceling orders. You do realize they sold some 100-500 bags extra? Whats worst the majority of bag buyers bummed or a handful of happy people and a mob of angry people?

Oh I wasn't saying you were selfish or greedy or anything don't get me wrong. I promise I didn't mean it in that way in the slightest. I was just pointing out my own feelings for that. I'm still jealous, hah.

Maybe thinking of it like this would help: Bungie ran out of stuff. They SAID they ran out of stuff. They had employees digging through and donating their personal belongings just to fill up the orders they received. So rather than think that you didn't get anything... think of it that Bungie scrounged up everything they had left just so they could fill out those last few orders- including yours.

Dunno if that helps or not, but it's a true story and would definitely make ME feel better.
:D

20$ is over priced for any T-Shirt and I think you can agree. I would be pretty upset if it wasn't going to Charity honestly but since it is I can't complain. My girlfriend refuses to wear the shirt because she thinks it's -blam!- hahaha.

It's not the last few, it's more like several hundred.

That's a good way to look at it :) There were thousands and thousands of people who didn't get any. I can only be happy with what I received.

No it's not. A Ralph Lauren T-Shirt for 50 dollars is.

Or an Ed Hardy for $85...

seriously. Who the bejeezus buys stuff that expensive?


As for Swag, I didn't even get a chance to order. By the time I saw they were giving it away, they were all gone. No matter, just happy to keep gaming =]

Be proud of it. There was allot of demand and not enough supply for those sacks.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

Years of fun gaming experiences and making friends vastly outweighs any crap in a sac for me.

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

Getting good swag takes time, It took me years to get most of my good stuff.

But, that is what happens when Bungie has to make another 277 bags with no swag left.

But, be happy you even got a swag bag.

I'm always amazed whenever I see Ken's Halo collection. It's just so....awesome.

Ken, please tell me you sleep in a different room. That room is filled with Halo swag.

NO, I know I have too much stuff and I keep getting stuff.

But my point was your not going to get a huge amount of stuff like that just with a swag bag.

And, they had to put less and less items becuase they were running out of stuff to fill the bags with.

Don't forget the bag itself. That thing is pretty cool too.

To be fair it is a pretty sweet bag, it has a lot of other uses than swag.

Like you can put your games, movies, magazines, etc in it.
