This may be a little late but I have only recently started posting on the forums. But I was quite annoying that I was away when this guild event happened therefore I had no chance of recieving the items. This the same for other people, but I am rank Vanguard, and I hope that there could be a way for people who missed out to recieve the items again, i.e next year, or something like that. I think OOO needs to do something about this...

I was also hoping for an event that gave us all groundbreaker armor.. perhaps as a reward for using the test server?
@Bopp I know that it was a surprise gift, but it's the fact that I was on holiday during this; I missed out on getting the items and I personally think the shield looks pretty sweet, but for the people who missed out why should they have to pay crowns/energy for those items while others got them completely free? To me I just would have loved to have them in my inventory, also I would have like to have gotten the Vanguard Battle stand. I am 5* but I don't have many good items, I only really went for a good FSC load out that could help me when I farm crowns, so those items would have been great use to me.
You can't pay crowns or energy to get the Lionheart gear - it's totally exclusive and untradeable. I reckon they're like Groundbreaker gear or 1st & 2nd gen Rose Regalia - they cannot be traded or obtained ever again.
Okay, The-Mighty-Potato. I sympathize with you. You were a loyal player, then went on an unfortunately timed break. Bad luck. Maybe Three Rings should have put no expiration date on the mail message that contained the honor items.
On the other hand, there are players who cannot get Operation Crimson Hammer, and hence cannot get Warmaster Rocket Hammer or Dark Retribution, which are two of the most powerful and interesting weapons in the game. There are people playing Spiral Knights in Australia, with brutally terrible latencies to the servers. So there are probably players who are worse off than you.
@Thinslayer My bad, I was talking about paying crowns/energy for the Leviathan Blade/Aegis.
@Bopp You're most probably right... It just would have been nice and useful to have recieved them.
A. There were many, many threads making this exact complaint. Three Rings has done nothing about it.
B. These items were a surprise gift, that served as a reward to players, who played the game even though they didn't know they would be receiving a gift. This is the purest kind of gift. I completely agree with Three Rings on this one.
C. The sword and shield are functionally identical to (but in my opinion uglier than) Leviathan Blade (a mediocre sword) and Aegis (a poor shield). So it's not as if you're missing out on some killer weapon.
