So where on earth is all the merch????!?!?!?!

[Sorcha Al'Verdan]

Anyone else kinda ticked that there doesn't seem to be any kind of merchandising happening for the show? I would buy the crap out of all sorts of things WoT related, but there doesn't seem to be much around. Like there should be a whole Amazon shop - isn't that literally their thing?

 

[Veriendha ti al'Riaha]

Big same! I want rings and tshirts and sweatpants and really just slap something on an article of clothing and I’ll probably buy it!

 

[Delara Morellin]

YES!!

I had such high hopes for merch, since it is, you know A SHOP bankrolling the show but everything thus far has been dire. I wanted my house to be tricked out like the bloody Tower gift shop.

 

[Boreas Silverfir]

Sweatshirts and joggers would definitely do well. As would the eventual dox head medallion.

In fairness to Amazon, they don't make anything. They copy other people's designs and host products.

**shameless plug**

One could deck out their entire house in TarValon.Net merch in the meantime

DANGIT! I meant to get a good pic of a few of us in our TarValon.Net merch at JCon and I totally forgot! FAIL

Always next time. Paths will cross again.

I would settle for ugly Funko pops at this point if that's all we ever got for merch

 

[Gregorin da’Caar]

Yeah, I’ve been disappointed in the lack of merch. The only official merch I’ve seen is the vinyl of the soundtrack, which I have.

Not to mention that the company that is doing the show ring just keeps pushing the release date back. We were supposed to get them in OCTOBER for crying out loud!

 

[Sorcha Al'Verdan]

If Amazon was smart, they'd buy the rights for all the awesome independent products out there (Seriously, they could help a lot of small businesses by doing this) and then mass produce them, or work out a deal for those large enough to do their own mass production, host the products on Amazon for a tiny cut of the profits, and everybody - including the fans - wins.

Agreed. They had a ready to go merch front with taveren tees.

And then there's the rings from Jalic that have been on "Shipping soon you guys, we totally promise!" pre-order for months. I pre-ordered mine in August of last year, and I'm starting to think it's a scam at this point.

 

[Sorcha Al'Verdan]

I didn't order a show ring, both because I don't like them and I already have an AS ring. Speaking of things being scams, on a completely unrelated note, if you've ever heard of the Quell gaming system DON'T buy it, I've been waiting for almost 3 years now...

 

[Merena Orithana]

Do we (tv.net) have any contacts with the folks running the show? Or is that mostly DragonMount?

 

[Thaddius al'Guy]

Agreed. They had a ready to go merch front with taveren tees.

Taveren Tees died for no reason.

So many good artists also had so much great art we no longer have access to. It's the worst.

 

[Merena Orithana]

I'm super confused that Badali was able to restart their book ring collection, but we haven't gotten any other movement for other artists (e.g. Ariel Burgess).

 

[Miya Kiyoshi]

I want to officially lament the lack of merch as well. Opinions about the show vary, of course, but who doesn't want to own licensed WOT merch? Come on Amazon - you sell literally everything, get on it, man!

Also RIP Taveren Tees.

 

[Aduiavas Ida]

They were so heavy-handed in shutting down everyone that sold anything WoT related before the show even started, and now they have nothing of their own
