Starscape Tshirts and Mousepads

[Fost]

For the people who mailed us: You can get tshirts and mouse pads featuring the Starscape art your requested from our Cafepress shop here:

http://www.cafeshops.com/moonpod





I think the mousepads turned out really well, we've ordered a stack ourselves!

I'll leave the shop running for a few months in case anyone else wants the same designs as those requested

To everyone who mailed in, if the design you asked for isn't there yet, don't worry, I haven't forgotten. I'll put the designs you asked for on there within the next two weeks. If anyone can think of anything else they would like, or would like a design on any of the other Cafepress mechandise, post here and I'll add it to the list.

Oh and thanks everyone for the suggestions!

Wow they are great, I want mousepad. Can you make same design on girl tshirt pleasse?

[Fost]

Some more shirt types now including ladies and kids tshirts. Will add some of the other design requests when I get a sec.

[Fost]

New designs people asked for will be on within a few days

Readjusted some of the prices, thanks for pointing out I'd set some wrong , basically all the prices are set at 95c higher than the cafe press shop so if anyone sees any discrepancies let me know. Any profits made pay to keep the cafe press shop open. We don't make any money on it, it's basically just so people can have the tshirts they want.

Also, if anyone knows somewhere better or cheaper than cafe press, feel free to mail me or post here. I don't mind putting in some time getting the designs set up if we can get prices down.

Hey there. A friend of mine tells me that she used to use cafe press but switched over to

http://store.99dogs.com/

she says she likes it a lot better. Not sure how much cheaper it is, but apparently it works better for her, so it may be worth your time to check it out.

later

Thanks, I'll check them out. We don't really make anything out of the tshirts (it just about pays to keep the cp shop open currently), we just do it because lot's of people asked for them. So anything we can do to reduce the price means everyone else benefits. So far we've been happy with cafepress except for two things: postage outside the US is pretty slow and expensive, and they don't do black tshirts. Other than that the quality has been good.

hey fost how many devestator thongs have you sold so far?

Think fun.
Yes, the images are cool, but you need some fun concept art too(although, I'd make certain you're getting some profit off these before going there).

Examples:
A thong with JJ on it, full-body, with the caption "Welcome to the Docking Bay".

A thong with the Aegis on it, with the caption "scans indicate the same invulnerable armour plating. You're going to have to work hard to take this one down."

Cooks apron with Devestator pointing at a 45 degree angle across the chest, firing 6 particle beams at some Archnid ship, with the caption "Relax Doc, the cook knows what he's doing."

T-shirt with a Xenarch, caption "We are the Xenarch! We control this node! Your weapons will not help you here."

---
There's obviously much more you could do along those lines, but I'm pretty sure they'd sell better.

[Fost]

Haha! They're pretty good! We don't really make any money of tshirts/mechandise though. The markup is only $1 on each item, and that just about pays to keep the shop open. We basically only opened it because a few people wanted stuff and mailed in (the thongs were a request as were some of the tshirt design variations). At some point I keep meaning to put on a load more stuff, some of the wireframes of the enemy ships look really cool, so I wanted a tshirt with them on myself

At one point I was investigating the cost of having figurines made of all the characters - this was only because I'd really like some!!

As I said though, we only really do this as a service for customers, there's no money in it, and I doubt there ever will be, but if anyone wants anything in particular, I'm happy to put it on there if you let me know.

i like X fighters ideas make "the cook noes what heas doing" aprons and xenarch t shirts

[BluePhoenix]

Ooo. The stuff looks cool. (That Devastator thong looks cool <i>and</i> sexy!). Although I like the idea of some stuff with quotes from the game on it as well as an image. (Some of X-fighters ideas are very amusing, but...not something I would share with my parents...) I like the idea of a shirt saying "We are the Xenarch. We control this node. You're weapons are useless here."
Maybe a shirt that has the Aegeis crew and the text: "So were expendable again?" "Sadly, yes" on the front and o the back it says "great" or something like that. *shrugs* just thowing out ideas.
If you haven't gotten pictures of <i>girls</i> wearing the thong, I shudder to think what you have gotten...

Any chance of some stickers? I'd quite like an Aegis or Mr Robot sticker for my laptop.

Just had a look at this place: http://www.printmojo.com/

Looks like a halfway house between doing it yourself and cafepress - They only do apparel, but they can do screenprinting (i.e - white on black). We would have to order several of each tshirt in advance - so there's a far greater cost involved - though not as abd as getting all the tshirts amde yourself.

Here's some other places I need to research:
http://www.99dogs.com/
http://www.spreadshirt.com/
http://www.customink.com/
http://zazzle.com/

No one seems to offer mousemats and apparel like cafepress does though.
