Issue dossier
The shop says all 152 first-run badges shipped and the live inventory shows zero remaining across its three editions. Its current second-run form states that it is only an interest count with no payment, pre-order, reservation, or obligation. Reviewed sources do not establish buyer receipt, DEF CON pickup completion, tracking, replacements, refunds, customs outcomes, venue handoff, a new production commitment, final price, or a second-run delivery date.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
