Future 1331 birthday kits
@NianticBrian @NianticOfficial Are there anymore kits coming? I am on several places to get alerts when they were supposed to go on sale. I checked the store and nothing. So I take a really quick shower. Come back and they are all gone. The 25 units per agents is crazy. Only thing it leads to is people selling them on eBay for redicules prices. I only want one!! Please reconsider how you are selling these items. Thanks for your time and help.

I hate to be that guy over and over, but you aren't likely to get any answers here. Seems Brian is more inclined to communicate via twitter than the official forums. And on top of that, there doesn't seem to be any concern about who is getting these and who isn't, so I'm not inclined to believe anything will change about how these are sold.
The 25 limit is mind boggling to me. 5 would be a max I could live with, 2 seems more realistic and in line with other forms of online purchasing (vinyl collecting, disc golf releases, etc).
Brian said before that more kits will come, just needs to be ready when the kits go live, for many this can be hard, work etc stuck somewhere since the last kits sold out in like 20 min and it didnt have a date when they went live just coming soon for many days and then suddenly a day or so before they removed that and it went on sale ....
still think subscribers should be able to pre-purchase or something.
Yeah it seems like nobody is listening. 25 per order. Plus you can get another 25 per order. So someone is racking up on money. Including Niantic!! Then once they clean out their inventory. In app sales will start taking place. It would be nice to have a kit being a collector. Instead of just pushing through items to your scanner. Don't get me wrong, I have a collection of characters and events on my profile. But most of them I have a physical item to collect. So hopefully I will actually get one but if not. I need to stop complaining because they seem to not be listening.
I second the bit about subscribers being given the first pick.
Wrt orders & shipping, 15 might seem like a fairer upper limit. 25 might have been set considering packing types available. Eg. The smallest box to put them all in can take 25 packs. The limit cannot be less than 5 since that would rule out any chance of free shipping.
If you're interested in physical swag from the packs, ask around. There are likely a lot of people who will trade.
For the medals, just remember to put up a forum post once all the NL kits are over. Ask for the medals you want to be put in the in-app shop. Imagine the look on the eBay resellers when they see that.
And then **** like this happens. I don't see the need for anything over maybe 5.
They should just put it up on the in-app store now. That way those who just want the medal without the physical swag can have it, and those who want the physical swag can have it without everyone else rushing for limited supplies. I bet a good deal of those rushing would probably be satisfied with only the medal, and are probably afraid Niantic will back out of putting it in the in-app store.
Managed to get a pack for wife and I at cost price. Thanks to global swag community.
