Time limit on Xbox 15th Anniversary Celebration cars, liveries, Anniversary Rivals, or Bucket List?

With the announcement on 15 Nov 2016 of the following freebies, there seems to be no mention of a limiting date by which we must obtain them.

Xbox 15th Anniversary Celebration announcement

  • Car: 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor (Xbox 15th Anniversary livery, for all players)
  • Car: 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor (Xbox 15th Anniversary livery, for VIP members)
  • Rivals event: Xbox 15th Anniversary
  • Bucket List event: “Celebrate #15 Years of Xbox” (at Pink Lakes)
    I called Xbox Support, but they had no guidance themselves.

Does anyone have confirmation as to whether these are permanent additions, or are they only being offered for a limited time? (and if so, until when?)

Also: For new players, HOW does one obtain them (or how WOULD they have done so, if they had logged in at the right time?)

EDIT: I can confirm that I did receive both vehicles in my in-game Inbox on 16 Nov (I bought the full game, and VIP access, that same day). Further, on 26 Nov, I did find the Pink Lakes Bucket List (is a Community Blueprint) with the Anniversary Event attached, was 15 Kangaroo skills obtained within a couple of minutes using the green-liveried Raptor.

Well the cars are permanent and have already been sent

Maybe the rivals event was just for the 15th only
I dont seem to be able to access it …its the 16th here

Well that would explain why i cant access the rivals
Still can attempt the bucket list though

I’m glad i managed to do both yesterday then!

I wonder if they will send some mystery thing for having done the rivial event?

Would be nice. Seems like a lot of effort to throw a rivals event up for only one day.

I understand wanting to celebrate that particular day, but don’t really see the point unless there is some sort of other reward associated w/ it…

It was not a good idea to host the one day event only rivals on a work day; it would have been more prudent to host this on a weekend when most are available.

Then the event wouldn’t make sense. It was to celebrate that particular day.

I’ve seen nothing as yet in game; one can only presume, that anyone who did not log in specifically (and only) on 15 Nov 2016 would not receive any of the content or events.

Halo gave an entire week for Guardians players to login for its own bonus content; what a unnecessary buzzkill to the “celebration” of the 15th anniversary. It’s hard not to feel cheated by the Forza team over this one. :cry:

EDIT: Have since received the in-game Raptors, and located the Bucket List; however, no word on the Rivals events (which were specifically advertised as one day only, so there may be no luck to be had there). Unsure if the Raptors and/or Bucket List are permanent additions, or will expire at some point as with any other unicorns.

It was only the rivals event that was only possible to compete in on the 15th…nothing special…it didn’t get you anything…so you didnt really miss out on anything…just like most of the forzathon rewards

The car/s were sent to everyone that had played forza horizon 3 already…1 for everyone and an extra for vips

You can still do the community bucket list
