Title: GREAT MERCHANDISE!!!!!
Post by: Devons Daddy on 10 April, 2004, 01:39:11 PM
well done rebellion.

great new t shirts avaible in our future shop.
priced at 12 pounds sterling as well. for a polo t shirt. fair price by uk standards.

i am off to order a decent DREDD one now.
but to note. i spend to much time here and i did not know.

i went to the future shop on the off chance they had somehting which would catch my eye. they did. the exact item of clothing i wanted.
in fac teh very item i said i would buy in a poll many moons ago.

great to see the chaps in charge have got it together. i was very critical of there offering last summer.
so i will put my money where my posts are.
i have ordered an XL dredd polo t shirt and shall get a 2000ad one as soon as an image is posted.
well done all.

 what about a mail shot to let us know.i have the groats you need to tell me what i can spend emm on.

im very pleased with the new range. well done guys.
(and wake for doing the work involved in putting the merchandise up of course)

thanks for pointing that out, DD. I was just thinking that they should make some more t-shirts available (one of the old progs I`m reading has an ad for about 20 different shirts on the back). It`s one of those spooky Jungian synchronicity things. Probably.

Good to see they're charging a reasonable amount for the shirts, always thought anything over ?12 for a shirt was taking the piss.

Don't know why Tharg didn't promote the fact that new stuff was available, slap on the wrist for the marketing dept.!! Tisk.

Um, on trhat page Tharg appears to be saying "I look sexy in these and so will you."

Thats a bit weird.

questions
 isnt 4.15 postage for standard parcel post a bit high? for only 1 polo t-shirt.

 thats to a UK address not singapore.if i am wrong on that i stand corrected just seems a bit steep. i have ordered non the less. but it does put me off further orders if it is over the top.

any one know how much a polo t-shirt would weigh and how much it would be by post?
if im wrong i stand corrected. but its 25 % of the purchase price extra. the most i ever paid postage on ebay for t-shirt was 1.40 sterling.

Yeah the postage costs do seem rather high don't they.
When you're used to Ebay prices (ie a couple of quid) for postage it comes as a bit of a shock.

Indeed. They're probably making up for the relatively low shirt cost.

Wonder how much they'll be on sale for at Bristol.

woo hoo ! about time, i'm off for a look..

they shoulda hyped it..
and if thats the postage that could make the differece tween wether i buy or not, 12 is one thing 16 + is another. a t-shirt will only cost ?1.80 to post i reckon.

lets see now....

They look so crap!!! How shoddy does the transfer on the Dreddcon t-shirt look. It's naff. And I can't believe you've not even bothered to iron them before taking the product photos. C'mon, be honest, if you saw this hanging up in a shop looking like this, would you buy it?

Matt - they aren't the new ones DD's talking about - them's aren't even for sale: Stock zero.

I've had one of the Dreddcon 4 tshirts, and the SD Polo shirt for about 6 months now.

They are great. I like the polo shirt slightly more. BUT when you wash it, the logo causes the shirt to crumple a little.

Anyway. I've been dying to tell you lot about them for ages, but decided that since nothing Official had been announced, I'd better keep trap shut.

Buy one NOW!

Buy one NOW!

And look like a 2000ad-reading darts player? No, ta.;)

Polo shirts are obviously to a lot of people's liking, but they're just not my thing at all.Whatever happened to the plans to re-issue some of the classic t-shirts from the 80s? I'm itching to replace my "Stare into the face of Death" and Torquemada chest-bursting shirts, that have long since been retired to the duster bag.

And I want something comics-related that isn't designed for overly flamboyant, half-pint-drinking nutcases.

I'm perfectly comfortable in a polo shirt, and I enjoy both the shirts I bought at Dreddcon.

I already have more garish comics-related t-shirts, and I never wear them outside the house, as they're just too much for me.

Bou, why don't you just go the whole hog and paint yourself in bright colours, then run naked down the street?

Just not my street, please.

I'll second that Trout. (the polo shirts, not Bou)

But I really, really want a leather jacket with Two Ton Tony Tubbs on the back like Tiplodocus has!

The old DreddCon t-shirts are in stock. I just made a mistake when I was uploading them.

Postage is calculated based on the total weight of the products ordered, plus ?1 to pay for packaging - so if it's expensive, then it means the thing you are buying is heavy.

If something looks particularly odd, tell me and I'll double check the weight.

Cheers,

Wake

Price for posting one polo shirt from the Future Shop

UK - 2nd Class - 1.87
UK - Standard Parcel - 4.15
Small Packet Europe - 2.92
Small Packet Airmail - 4.41


Standard Parcel is not the best method for light stuff. You can check the alternatives by looking at your basket.

Cheers,

"Bou, why don't you just go the whole hog and paint yourself in bright colours, then run naked down the street? "

tsk, evil grandad Trout... why don't we buy a comic every week painted by ourselves with bright colours ?
cos it would be crap, if you can get an Art droid to do some 2K art work on my bod, then i'll run down the street of your chooseing nekkid.

okay ?

Grandad? I believe I'm younger than you, Miss Wrinkly-Bou. :-)

"original droid sketch tattooes"

is a good idea, if you're into that sort of thing.

One guy at the last Dreddcon had a Carlos tattoo, and got the great man to add his autograph in pen.

Then the mad fan headed straight to the tattoooist's, to have it inked in!
