Wouldn't it benefit10c to actually make the "gift" not a box of junk? I think about everybody here would upgrade if they sent out a best of the year DVD. Doesn't have to be a full show. Put it in a generic sleeve to keep the cost down.

I think they should make a "touring band" DVD every year. Even if it's only for sale on here.

If the gift were Pearl Jam themed instead of 10C themed, I'd be willing to pay more for my membership. I really have no interest in 10C merch. I don't really know why anyone would.

well, no more auto renewal for me. 3 years of the same gift...have to go digital.
Do they look cool? Yes...but the cool looking stickers and patch will be opened and trashed like the previous years. Zero use for these gifts. I still wear my "I'm Analog" shirt. I liked it, not the best design, but it's something I could use.

Hmm. I'm indifferent. Same concept for the 3rd year in a row... design is definitely better than the first year they did this, last year was ok, I'd say it's a tie for last year theme-wise. It's ok... I just don't know why they think we all would need to update our cars or lockers or whatever with the CURRENT year member stickers on them. If you just had 2012, wouldn't you feel left out now, and make sure you're a current member to get that 2014 on there? (sarcastic of course) I do like that there is a lightning bolt incorporated into the logo now. I like the skull sticker, will fit right in here in the southwest, if I actually took these off the sticker sheets and made them incomplete mint sets.
So does anyone think the animals represent each band member? Who's who? Rabbit has to be McCready or maybe Cameron. Hawk is Vedder (soaring). I'm going to say Jeff is the bear, Stone is the ram (two founders next to each other), and I'll go with Cameron as the lion.

And don't you guys get it, they wouldn't make much money off this stuff if it was for sale in the shop. It's cheap to produce, cheap to mail. They can sell shirts and hats and slip covers (if they made them) for $25-30 each and make some money. DVDs too. Even a short 8-song DVD of clips from their professionally produced tour this year, direct from the screens, would kick ass. But they can put that together someday and sell it AND still get us to pay membership dues each year.

I too was wondering what the animals represent .

Underwhelmed... agree with the 3rd year in a row comments. A few fanclubs have a DVD with highlights, or a shirt. But ANOTHER mini-poster... probably better off buying the single each year on eBay or here if available.

i like the poster.. everyone loves animals. i would have preferred SOME mention of the band. but eh. i have last year's one up in my office in a frame. i think it's a great poster. i just took down the one from the year before because.. i just.. got sick of it. will this one stand the test of time? probably not because i'm running out of wall space and i'm not keen on taking it up with stuff for a fanclub, not the band that the fanclub is for.
Why would they give away a CD, blu-ray or poster as a gift when they know and see people over paying for those same things? They would just put them for sale in the shop and make a profit from them, like a normal business would. You don't like the stickers, patch, poster, fine, go digital...you like them, stay analog...the world will still turn.
I'm not saying a cd/Blu-ray/poster wouldn't be nice, but when they see how crazy people get for those things online, why give it away??

Well, there are other options besides WRIGLEY BLU RAY or STICKERS.
It's been stickers 3 (?) years now. Wanting something else than something "useless" and leaving for digital are two different things. Something-something the world will still turn.
"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
this is a great question that just leads to another question.
do they care?
Now that's a silly question! The band and associates cannot please everyone all of the time.
Just keep the music coming! Old and new!
agreed. that is if this lame sticker/poster set was a one and done annual gift. three years in a row? come on. that shows a lack of care, lack of effort, lack of creativity and lack of fucks given.
