Holiday Sonic Store Update
The week's 2nd update turned out to be a Store Only Update.
Why?
Tis' the season for panicking parents who need to find gifts in Sonic style or else there'll be dissapointment under the tree & menorah. It's important to keep the store in top shape around the holidays. Annoying brick/mortar stores that let stock run out, don't carry everything, and certainly don't advertise...don't help anyone. Hopefully, the Sonic Gear store can step in to provide an easy portal to pretty much everything I can get my hands on.
1000s of links were sifted, and hoards of items were added.
Books & Shirts got the biggest update. A lot of things there had broken (Especially shirts, they sell out) so they're pretty much fixed. A few shirts repeatedly refuse to show up so probably 2 orange boxes remain. One day, I hope "Sonic Clothing Store" lives up to its name and is able to have something other than just tees. Shorts/Pants/coats...whatever would be nice.
Blue girls/juniors/fitted "Bluescale only" large graphic Sonic shirt, by all means BUY THIS THING NOW if you want it. It's 1/3 the usual price (that Spencers Gifts usually has it for) at 8.00 and it seems like everybody and their little sister wants it. It's always the first thing to sell out and then people promptly flip out because it's gone again. It is quite stylish and the only other one in the que was like $25 bucks so it'll replace the 8.00 one if it goes again.
Yes, I do choose bargain links.
If several items appear before me and they're the same thing, always the least-money one is chosen to appear on Gear. Everyone wants to save! The store is attempted to be the best price found for each thing.
Most impressive bargain?
There's a book on there for something like a penny. THIS is the opportunity to get your hands on quaint old Sonic books. They're not super glamourous but they're fairly interesting to collect. The GearCollection has quite a few of them, simply because they're easy to get, and easy to store.
What's next for the store?
The action figures will likely form their own page, separate from "Sonic Gear Store 1" which is basically a 'catch all' for misc goods that don't have enough items for their own page. There are enough figures available for order now (that TRU lost the exclusive) that they do warrant their own page. Outrageously priced ones (o noes the Big & Froggy set is 34.99! duur) still won't appear. Over-charging and ripping people off with figure prices is wrong, and no one wants to sort through overly expensive links to things that are readily available on store shelves now.
Next for the update?
More stuff. Hopefully bootlegs are over with for the time being. With the store as fixed up as can be, the updates are freed up for pure stuff-posting. If you've sent in something, do be patient, it'll get on there eventually. Things are still recovering from the breakage of GoliveBS version.
