Not much going on these days in the store in all categories?  Is this the slowest it has been in awhile?

    10c seems to be smart and minimizes stock. With no US tour this year, it tracks that there is very "little" in the store

    While I loved getting my mystery box it amazes me that they had all that merch just sitting there and never put it up in the shop, sure some of it wouldn't have lasted long, but at least it would have been available. It makes you wonder how much stuff they just have laying around that for whatever reason isn't in the shop. And some of the mystery box merch, especially some of the posters, were from years ago, so very strange they were never in the shop, but that's pearl jam...

    Last year's poster sales, for one...and it wasn't just current stuff.

    It’s hilarious that there’s a new thread complaining about too much merch and one about not enough merch...

    Haha. I guess this is from the overly long Walk Hard?

    The 2019 EV leftovers will be arriving in the store soon, I’m sure. Barcelona/Madrid posters will probably be readily available while others sell out fast.
