Mtn Dew Hateforged Blazecycle SOLD OUT

Dude, there are original Collector’s Editions floating around on eBay.

The people that deal in this stuff probably don’t play WoW or any game. They make a living snatching up collector’s edition stuff from every where in hopes it become valuable one day.

I sat on them, because I wasn’t sure if we’d need them for out of country guildies.

I just had to tell them I can’t get them this mount now. :slightly_frowning_face:

Yikes!

I’m glad I didn’t wait to redeem my points like I had originally planned. Was going to save up what I needed for everything, then get the codes all in one go. Like many, I’m kind of surprised that a digital item can sell out, but here we are.

cringe

Has anyone claimed a code but still not received the item? I claimed a code yesterday afternoon and still nothing

Dang, happy a kind soul gave my Canadian butt the mount already.

Out of curiosity I looked on eBay found one seller has sold 117 total at $50usd each, and this was just on the first page of listings.

Just posted this on WoWHead: What irritates me is that the Hateforged Blazecycle is a redeemable mount that is a digital file that can be sent to your BttlNt acc., and it’s “SOLD OUT!” How is this possible? Make this make since. Not only are codes distributed regionally, but from alienating the EU, you’ve alienated half of the US. Codes didn’t come to NC for distribution until yesterday. This is how you drive people away from your promotions and later your game for failing to fulfill expectations. FIX IT!

does math

Whoa! That’s almost $6k!

How much he paid for the dew is something as well. He would have needed 58,500 points. If you multiply that 117 by roughly 15 dollars, it would be like $1755. If he got the special edition flavors it’d be half of that. Roughly a 5k profit isn’t bad. Not worth the effort for me too, you’d have to be lucky to get tons of the special edition.

I also wouldn’t put it past companies to do this themselves on the side.

Some of us didn’t have the opportunity to obtain points until yesterday, Friday, 15 Nov 24, when the products became available in our area.

lmao what an absolute clown show. Whoever came up with this idea has to look at their face in the mirror. :clown_face: :clown_face: :clown_face: :clown_face:

Anyway, just put the crap on the trading post.

The websites should have been properly integrated such that this should not have even been a thing.

Things like games are usually a limited quantity, items in the games aren’t. But I’d bet they get more codes up soonish.

I hate the fact that I only started seeing these items as something that I could get earlier this week. There weren’t even coded items around until halfway through the week in TUCSON, ARIZONA. So now I’ve bought items specifically to get this and there’s nothing I wanted to get except that bike. Blizzard should really have thought about that when they decided how the codes for the more rare items worked. THEY SHOULDN’T BE LIMITED UNLESS THEY’RE WORTH OVER $50! Damn man!

Probably nlt go far from the truth. I bought 3 24 packs before one code actually worked

I’m pretty upset about this. I just got around to buying it today, and on this very day, the bike is “sold out.” Holy sh*t is this some garbage.

Same! Bought 6 bags of Doritos last night. You can only enter 5 codes a day… so I had to wait this morning to enter the last code… Now it’s sold out!!! WTF!!! Actually? It’s literally ducking pixels on a screen that can be duplicated indefinitely. Just my ducking luck, thanks.

These indie companies running out of pixels for redemption.

Nothing in the announcement said these products being offered were “Limited only”. Just that you could get codes to redeem for points to acquire them from Nov 4th to January 31st, And the items don’t even last 2 weeks on the redemption site?

Did it ever state there was a limited quantity for a digital mount? I had to wait an extra day because I was limited to 5 codes… now I’m sitting here with 600 points and a bunch of chips I don’t eat…

How do you run out of a 20-digit code with 26 letters as well. What is the math on that? Like something in the 9 million range? I’m not joking. Look it up.

I had enough for 3 more bikes, and I was gonna give them out to random players, but I guess I can’t now. Yay forced scarcity.

I will say them making it a code you can give shows you how dumb they were. Because now I can sell it.

But this is Blizzard we are talking about. They are morons. I couldn’t tell you how many things they’ve implemented and in their genius that has had to be fixed 90 times over.

The clown show is a clown show.
