Technodrome Site T-Shirts?

**Shredder** · 11-13-2002, 11:56 PM

Hi, everyone. Krang and I are considering adding a "Technodrome Store" feature to the site where fans can buy Technodrome-logo T-shirts (and possibly other merchandise if there's enough interest.) Would anyone be interested in such a feature? What would you consider a reasonable price for a shirt? Comments/suggestions/ideas?

wow i didn't know this guy was even alive, i've never seen him post
gotta say i'm not that interested... unless it has a huge pic of the technodrome

**Karpo_007** · 11-14-2002, 10:45 AM

Well I can't say im really intrested, the shipping costs are pretty high to Finland.

~~Reznorite420~~ · 11-14-2002, 03:31 PM

Well...stuff like this for a fan site sounds a little cooky at first, but then again I just ask "Why not?". It'll be a way of expressing my pride AND it'll advertise the site to would-be members out there (I can name quite a few at my school alone who might want to check this place out).

I say go for it, and if it doesn't work out, well, then it didn't hurt to try it out once. Besides, it's kinda tough finding a TMNT-related shirt even online today.

**Karpo_007** · 11-14-2002, 03:46 PM

But i think making those shirts can be expensive, especially if there's no buyers.

~~PWDESAI~~ · 11-14-2002, 04:24 PM

actually there are plenty of places to find a tmnt shirt
try
www.80stees.com (or something like that) they have tmnt, and even alf!

Greed · 11-14-2002, 04:39 PM

it would be something to look into

**DarthRaphael** · 11-14-2002, 07:25 PM

Any "special" pricing for moderators?

I might be interested.

tekcop · 11-14-2002, 09:27 PM

I might buy a shirt -- or a hat. Yeah a hat. I would buy a hat.

*Skeletoncrew* · 11-15-2002, 12:38 AM

I love buying shirts to support my favorite sites!

80tees doesn't have a good enough selection. I've seen other TMNT shirts elsewhere as well.

Plus, think of it this way; this will be a rarer shirt to find, so it'll be a little bit more prestigious (sp?) to have...

**Krang** · 11-15-2002, 03:21 AM

Just wanted to mention a few things. First, the reason we're thinking about selling t-shirts and other merchandise is to raise money to help pay for the server fees, so if you want to help support this site and its forums, this would be a way to do that. Also, we're probably not allowed to sell products with images from the cartoons or comics (since they're copyrighted), so the merchandise would have our site's logos on it instead (and if anyone wants to contribute a logo, let me know). BTW, the merchandise would be professionally produced and shipped by an online company. If anyone has any questions, let Shredder or me know.

*Nickokapo* · 11-15-2002, 06:33 AM

I'd buy technodrome underwear! =p
No seriously i think the shirt is a good idea...lots of sites are doing t-shirts and i guess it's a good idea to help cover the site server price.
It'd be cool if it had a picture of the technodrome itself tho

perhaps you can put a picture of a big-ball-with-an-eyeball-that-looks-like-the-technodrome-but-due-to-copyright-laws-it-is-not.
Aight i'll shut up now

~~Reznorite420~~ · 11-15-2002, 08:01 AM

The logo isn't a bad idea either...I never said anything about actual TMNT stuff on there, just TMNT-related (hence, the Technodrome

)

Sorry if I was misunderstood, Krang.

EDIT: 420 posts...heh.

**Karpo_007** · 11-15-2002, 11:10 AM

I think a paypall button would be better for collecting money. I would most definetly donate atleast 5$. If everyone would do the same it should be a little help.

**azure turtle** · 11-15-2002, 06:41 PM

Hmm... I dunno if I'd buy a t-shirt. But I would definitely buy a Technodrome bumper sticker.

*Deathknight* · 11-15-2002, 07:23 PM

I'd probably buy a shirt and or a hat... Maybe you could sell posters as well.

**Krang** · 11-16-2002, 04:28 AM

Ok, so if we do set up a store, it looks like we will sell these items so far:

T-Shirts
Hats
Bumper Stickers

If anyone is interested in any other kind of merchandise, post it here and if enough people are interested, I'll add it to the list.

I'm not completely sure about this, but I think if someone drew the technodrome as fan art, it would be legal to sell t-shirts with that image on it, since it's not taken directly from the show. The problem is, I'm not a very good artist, so I couldn't draw it myself...

**Ratking** · 11-16-2002, 07:07 AM

just make sure you make somthing out of this.
