It seems exactly what they are doing is trying to move over priced shirts because they can't move them otherwise. This is really a BAD business tactic for sure. Too bad, they did this to themselves ! Sounds like they try to cash in on extra shipping charge too. Reputations mean alot.

I had some pretty major price tag shock at the BxH shop in Harajuku last year. $65 sounds about right for one of their shirts. So it's not like $65 is an outrageous price (relatively speaking) for limited shirts from Japanese boutique shops.
But that's not the issue. It's SOS forcing customers to buy (I'm assuming) stale inventory to get a hot product, and that's the kind of thing collectors get incensed about and remember.
What I don't understand is their intransigence over shipping policies, which they follow very strictly.
Bottom line: retail is harsh. Very very harsh. Customer service is 100X more important than a shop's ability to procure highly sought after products.
Super 7's customer service is among the best I've ever seen from an e-tailer. No surprise their stock regularly sells out within hours.

This isn't a price issue,
if it were I wouldn't own a bxh cap or various other articles...
And I wouldn't collect expensive little toys.
Its a shady store tactic of forcing people to spend more money in their shop on items they can't move, buy attacthing them to a sought after item.

Yeah that's pretty much what I said.
Anyway it's a big Internet, and fortunately there are options. But the nature of the beast is there are far more collectors than figures at this point, so we're all going to miss out sometimes, and get lucky at others.

I understood that.. just wanted to make sure the point wasnt the price of the shirt..
the shirt could be 10 bucks.. it would still be lame
Granted id probably have bought it then lol
but ill go without till i find one through another source
i'll pay ebay mark up instead of ever shopping at span again
i was debating one of the cheshire cats.. but not anymore

It's not about fuck tshirt shops, it's about having the choice to buy a toy without having to buy a tshirt to get it, if that's how secret base sold them like with the Fear of 13th sets that would be one thing, but TT and S7 don't pull that kind of shit with a regular toy release, so why should span?
NT whoever you are I know your just full of shit trying to have a little joke about everything, and that's fine, but I think even your sarcastic shit talking misses it's mark and becomes entirely pointless.
