Pity there is no kiosk for class items. Also, what is the exact requirement for Scarab Heart? It just says to have gone flawless in Trials. Is this Trials without having your Mercy used? If so it should be mine if this is retroactive. If not, I assume it to mean winning all your matches 5-0? If so, eek! Below is the pic:

wings: Probably have to go flawless in TTK/Year 2 trials, whenever those start. Strongly doubt it's retroactive. Additionally, I'd guess the old flawless emblem for Year 1 is now permanently locked if you didn't get it already, just like the year 1 Iron Banner emblems are.

Class items now can have perks, that's probably why they don't have kiosks.

Additionally, I'd guess the old flawless emblem for Year 1 is now permanently locked if you didn't get it already, just like the year 1 Iron Banner emblems are. Oh that makes sense. Looks like I lucked out on my scheduled Lighthouse run since it was quite close to its temporary end and everything else worked in my favour. Class items now can have perks, that's probably why they don't have kiosks. I'll be waiting for TTK to drop so I can redeem my engrams (saved for ranking up purposes only) and then I will eventually have space to place my class items. Currently, I can repurchase one of the Eris class items I deleted it seems, the rubbish Hunter one that makes you look like you're wearing a cardboard box on your head. It's a bit silly to have added functional usage to class items as that reduces people's desire to collect and I thought one of Bungie's developers specifically stated, "Collectors gotta collect".

I like the idea of Match Game but I can see people without elemental primaries suffering too much. Ironclad? **** off with bullet sponges. It's bad enough when I first encountered arc shielded Harpies in Mars.

OK - Just checking, as I'm a freebie grabbin' MuvHugger.
I pre-ordered the digital upgrade for the arse ripping fee of 39.99 POUNDS...
Should I have got 'anything' yet?
I've seen talk of exotic drops and emblems etc on the bogie forums. I got nothing - I would have thought everything 'owed' would appear next week but, still, would like to be sure...
*EDIT*
Bungie have actually replied to their audience, no, really!
*UPDATE 2 - After investigating this issue, we've found that certain players were able to access Taken King class items ahead of schedule. To fix this issue, players are now losing access to the Exotic items that were granted early. These items will not be lost, and will be accessible when Destiny: The Taken King launches on 9/15/15. We apologize for this inconvenience.
*UPDATE - For those inquiring about the Suros Weapons, Shader, and Emblem - All qualifying players will receive these items on 9/15/15. We are continuing to investigate the Exotic class items issue. Thank you for your patience.

This is new: a promotional specific quest line www.redbull.com/us/en/esports/stories/1331746950341/red-bull-quest-revealHow it works: 1) get your hands on specially-marked Destiny Edition Red Bull cans; 2) Redeem the code at RedBullQuest.com to unlock the quest; 3) Go through the quest and early the reward (a sparrow); Along with the "Focused Light" consumables, II wonder if such things are going to become a common practice in the game, so ActiVision and Bungie can earn some extra cash.

Want this free (and pretty ugly IMHO ) emblem? Redeem it with code 3VF-LGC-RLX. After redeeming, you will see both of the following messages: and I also checked the kiosk and it is not there yet. Looks like it will become available once TTK drops.

You are welcome. I basically just grab what I see from tweet streams and dump them here. It helps me a lot as well, so I can easily reference them later myself .

TTK is finally here! Patch notes: www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=13546Was not planning to get up at all but woke up at 1:57am regardless. I guess it meant to be. Just took a stroll around tower to go through "Veteran's Tour" and pick up loot, and got a Hawkmoon from the green weapon reward at Banshee! Did everybody else get that? I thought that it will be something elusive just like Gjallarhorn. The black shader from VIP reward is nice as well, make my hunter look like Batman

Reaching level 40 is extremely easy. I played first mission of TTK quest, completed Nightstalker quest to unlock the subclass, turned in all my public event package (20 of them), and 3 3000XP bounties, and boom, I am level 40 on hunter. An artifact is rewarded at the end.
Rep edging also paid off. I ranked up on Vanguard, Crucible, Cryptarch and Dead Orbit. Got a whole bunch of goodies (purple weapons, purple armors, etc)
I then proceed to turn in the rest of the bounties I saved up.
At the end of the 2 hour initial game play, I have a level 40 hunter with first 2 rows of Nightstalker subclass unlocked, 3 new legendary weapons and 1 Hawkmoon fully upgraded, and reached light level 213.

Oh, that sucks.
However, MC cam upgrade to Year 2, right?
EDIT: never mind, looks like MC does not upgrade to Year 2, Hawkmoon does.
Now I know how I am gonna spend my first 150 lengendary marks…
