LazyTown Merchandise
So I walk into Walmart today after a run determined to get some LT merchandise which I have been wanting for a year. But of course I live in the USA where half the items in Walmart have Hanna Montana's face plastered on them and LazyTown has been gone for a long time. But like I said I was determined so I walked out with some plain black T-shirts and a transfer kit to make my own damn merch. So far I plan on one shirt having the official LazyTown logo as big and copyright infringing as possible, the others are up for debate. I don't want them to be to pedoish or feminine if anyone wants to make some suggestions for a pic or pic/text combination.
So America wasn't a complete failure in the storefronts; despite absolutely no one carrying official merch anymore at least they make copyright infringement on T-shirts possible for about 20 bucks.
So I figured I would search ebay since Walmart provided me with all it could. I was appalled at the lack of LT merch and especially the inflated prices on the cd's and dvds. It took me about half an hour to realize I should switch over to ebay.co.uk instead and was delighted to find the results increased ten fold. So I ordered 4 pieces of official merch to be shipped from the big island stateside (which was not cheap I must say, but I don't feel I was raped on the cost either). I got 2 different sets of "Gift packs" which have the metal tin, pencil, and some other stuff. I ordered a second one when I realized that the first one I ordered had 2 pencils while I found another with the same items minus scissors and one pencil but adding a ballpoint pen. I wanted the damn pen so I ordered another one. >_> For some reason I really want the pencil tins also. I'm also eyeing the official soft nylon pencil case too for one with reasonable shipping cost to me to be ordered eventually.
Next I ordered Stephanie's official diary. I felt like less of a man after hitting that buy it now button buy hey, it had more pencils. It's unlikely I will actually write anything in the thing except maybe a big LOL on the last page and just put it on display somewhere. After that I ordered a roll of official wall paper bordering. I'm moving into a new apartment in a few weeks for a new school and I'll use that to put LT goodness around the trim on the kitchen counter or something.
As much as I want the official audio cds (my favorite part of LazyTown) they were still to expensive to justify at the moment considering I already have every single song in my Itunes. I do want to get them eventually though. There were no official posters at a reasonable price either... which is ok considering....:
I also plan to create my own blown up images and put them on the walls with Rasterbater and PosteRazor which should be really fun. I want to have like a gigantic frame from Cooking by the Book in the living room, covering like an entire wall, with some other pictures elsewhere. I had one in my apartment for a year during my undergrad to great success, but living with 2 other roomates I never got to make it as big as I dream of. My LazyTown image (It was something just a little bigger then a standard poster size) was relegated to my area and dwarfed by other crappy bands and movies. I'll be living alone this time so I finally have the wall space which I need.
I'll post pics of all these things as they are completed or come in... maybe pose with the diary for some laughs....
Anyways has anyone else been bitten by the merch bug at some point and if so I'd like to see what you got. Or at least what you plan to get/wish you could get.
Really interested in custom T-shirt ideas also since you guys could come up with some hilarious and original stuff.
Sorry if the text wall bored you, I tend to be very verbose. I'm going to try to help revive this board. DON'T DIE ON ME. REPLY REPLY.
