first-party maker Bluesky post
Direct NilbinSec Bluesky reply in the Spectre Sniffer launch thread stating that a purchase includes a PAC-MAN Ghost SAO and supports bringing more than 1,500 free SAOs to Vegas. It does not say whether that included SAO is mechanically/electrically identical to every planned 1,000-unit giveaway artifact.

maker product listing with companion-SA0 statement
NilbinSec's live product listing says the Spectre Sniffer includes one Pac-Man Ghost SAO in one of four colors. It corroborates a companion-artifact statement, not the 1,000-unit giveaway count, 2026 revision mapping, hardware details, or reusable-image permission.
