I don't know if I'm the only one left, who hasn't recieved his avatar contest prize.
It's not that I mind waiting for the prize... but would kinda like to know when to expect it..
I just hope it's not UPS( or other package transport service) that has lost my prize, on its way to scandinavia (specifically Denmark, where I live), which would seriously suck...

Untill then I'm gonna be waiting at my mail slot :)

The local mailing service stealing from those who earned something. Probably a crazed Halo fan that lives in Washington, got on the website, heard about the prizes, and started searching through all the mail. You never know what sopme people will do these days.

I bet it's just taking a long time. Probably sent it by Fedex not UPS.

No, I haven't got mine either. I do hope they're not using a courier service... with my work schedule I'm never around to receive a parcel. USPS (via Canada Post) is actually faster in the end as a result. *sigh*

I am yet ANOTHER person that hasn't gotten there's. At this point I think they forgot about us or there's someone from UPS that is like Newman trying to stop Bungies plot for world domanation and wants to try to corupt us all without getitng our pri...ok neveremind.

But seirusly, what is going on? We were all notified though email asking for the address to ship and the t-shirt size, that was like early july. It's been almost 3 months, this IS kinda getting crazy.

This reminds me of my active camo figure, I waited and waited and waited and it came in a little cardboard box that was ripped open ALREADY and they call it back because the morons that were shipping it actualy tried to steal it. That's what the guy said, he said the jerkoffs got fired.

anyone else think UPS blows because they "loose" *cough steal* your goods.

Hmm...this is crazy. I'll try to contact sketch and ask him whats up.

I was one of the Prizetacular Winners a few months back, and I'd say it took a good 3 - 4 months before I received my prize. It all happened around the time of E3, and I was told by email that everyone at Bungie HQ was extremely busy with the event, hence the late arrival of my prize. I bet a similar situation has risen for you those of you who won the avatar contest with the deadline for finishing Halo 2 nearly upon us:)

another guy that hasn't gotten his prizes..... i thought at first maybe it was just some prejudice against canadians, but then i'd remember the cananimators wouldn't stand for that.

but im sure if we keep whining about our prizes, we'll get em eventually.. im sure they still love us... or maybe we'll just get an invite to play halo 2... one can only dream

ye have faith in bungie.

After seeing the new bungie store, and seeing the shirt I'm getting. I WANT THAT -blam!- SMOKING SMG SHIRT...sorry..

I swear to god as soon as you can ordor the shirts, I'm buying 3 of them, the distressed is also extrmley cool. Bungie.. WE NEED MORE SHIRTS with images, I love the classic look, but more of the smoking mg type sirts would....ok..enough

I am sorry for that fanboy-ish outburst, the new store is killing me. I want that fitted hat and that shirt like theres no tommorrow.
