I'm really disappointed one person was able to buy half the packs. While I'm glad to hear they likely won't be resold, I still feel like there should have been a limit per order.
Thay said, it seems pretty clear there's a demand for swag like this so please do another run.
The issue is that these were created for an event that never happened so were a one time sale. It's good to hear that NIA have plans for more Ingress swag though!
I still call this a bunch of bullsh*t. There should have been more information, buying limits and it should have released at a certain time. Not just "Oh here you go, it's available to buy." in the middle of the damn afternoon with zero warning.
If it was limited stock, then that should have been mentioned. Not mentioning it is a disservice to everyone who got screwed out of being able to buy one. But hey, Ninatic is a business, and all business just LOVE money. 🖕
Begging gets you nowhere here. 150 comments in and the best we got was a tweet from Twitter, that doesn’t even recognize that a bunch of people are super frustrated. A nice reminder that this isn’t a community, we are customers.
I'll gladly take an in-app medal if it's put into the in-app store.
The physical kits can be messy for anyone not in the origin shipping country. Even if Niantic brings it to the 2 other international stores, there is going to be a problem getting kits to over 50 different countries. This was perfectly fine while Ethan was driving around or when anyone else was at an event to deliver the kits.
As far as a re-run on physical kits goes, do a small survey to figure actual demand in each country. Then figure out the logistics.
I wouldn't even think about buying a badge in digital store. You know why? Because it's too easy. There's no value in it when you can just throw some money and have the badge right away in your profile.
But if you had to order it from the US, arrange shipping with fellow agents and whatnot, that would be a story to tell. A value.
I'm very disappointed by the amount of kit’s stock offered by Niantic. Also by the fact that the response service offered by BrandFuel is apalling as they have not responded in more than 96 hours.
Personally, I would like a reprint of the pack and carry it out in a different way, either by pre-orders paying either half the value of the product or even full price. So that agents get the choice of buying and not just the choice of trying to buy the kit out of a miserable stock. After reading @NianticBrian tweet that they will make new Kits and not improve the way in which agents obtain the official Swag, the history of this out of stock kit will repeat.

WE NEED MORE.

Thanks.
@NianticBrian Brian, we don't need another, we need the exact same NL set, please.
The issue is that these were created for an event that never happened so were a one time sale. It's good to hear that NIA have plans for more Ingress swag though!
No thanks, i all ready have the 2019 badges from in app store,,, variety is good :)

Would be amazing for acknowledgment of it on here versus social media.
And the fact that hundreds of people wanted and could not buy this particular set does not bother you at all? 🤷🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
Not at all, I also attempted to purchase, why just this set, variety is good, and nothing new, swag packs have always varied across locations....
Can you at least make the NL-1331 2021 badge available via in game store? I am not sure why we have to beg to give you our money... LoL

Now i can only wait for a different Kit in the near future to be available on Storefronts International like Brian's tweet.
No link to the tweet, he deleted it. Disgraceful.

More, please. 🐸
Silence on their own purpose made forum despite many comments.
Actual flimsy response.. Via twitter 🤔🤣
Why not offer the badges digital in store too? Missed opportunity here...

Disappointed I was not able to order a kit.
Seems pre-orders would make the whole process much smoother for all parties involved.
Hoping the 325 kits order has provisioned some money for custom duties and import taxes !

600? I expected over 10000... Dissapointed, as always. I would like to buy just one
