I want the shirt, nothing else.

I got my copy of the fan pack today.

The shirt's pretty cool. Good quality, decent size, Fruit Of The Loom. The paint/blood dripping kinda logo on the front, blank on the back.

The bandanna would double as a pretty good flag.

The keyring and belt buckle are both neat, solid metal. Again, good quality. The patch is as you'd expect, a fabric sew-on, rectangular, standard sort of size.

The box itself is really nice and sturdy. Too bad its not a couple of inches bigger - you could have used it to keep the vinyl in.

As for the CD, its exactly the same as the one you've all already got, no difference whatsoever, same mistakes in the booklet.

I'm happy with it. Some decent merch, only cost 59euros which I believe works out considerably cheaper than the inflated price in the U.S.

Can you get the fan packs in Ireland?

[TomFriend]

HMV should have it from Monday as far as I know.

I got mine today and I have to say im pretty pleased with it. At ?38.99 the price isnt that bad when you consider that you are getting CD, a t-shirt that you would probably pay ?20 for at a live show, and all the other stuff. Its a lot cheaper here than in the US though.

Its funny that China has banned the record, but the key ring and belt buckle were both made there! It seems that they allow their companies to take money from the GnR camp to manufacture these things, but wont allow anyone to return the favour to GnR through sales of the record.

I hear hmv in china sells the album. their limited first edition was with a t shirt.

No, I won't. I've got plenty of GN'R shirts that I do wear, just want to keep the box (which by the way still hasn't arrived  ) and everything in it in the best condition possible.

This fucking rocks...But damn people, Ill be opening mine and using all the merch, as I did with the UYI gold limited edition CDs and T-shirt, The Dead Horse CD single pack and all the other merch Ive bought over the years. All my old GnR T-shirts are faded and pretty much falling apart, so a new GnR T will come in handy. Ill not use the patch, but will use the belt buckle...Still have the belt buckle I bought way back in the late 80's, and the one I bought in the early 90's.

Also, Im thinking that, for those in the USA and Britain, it would be cheaper to import it from Australia, especially for you Brits because the Aussie dollar is at a really bad point right now and isnt worth much, so for $129 Australian Im thinking you'd be in for a good deal even with postage...Just a thought though.

[TomFriend]

I'm with you - I don't see the point of shelling out for something just for the sake of saying you have it while it sits on a shelf gathering dust.

[ppbebe]

we can have a HTGTH best dresser competition using these goods.

I wasnt sure if merchandise was even available yet, but I was given a CD box set which my mum found in the back of a HMV here in the UK, its got the logo on the front, about vinyl size it includes a t-shirt, belt buckle, key ring, bandana, patch and a copy of CD. Anyone else seen anything like this? ill try n get sum pics up tomorrow if noones heard of this
