For the money you would be scared to use it in case it gets chipped

Shockingly inelegant in its design. And a missed opportunity to utilize the vibrant orange and teal colours that would have nicely referenced Very and Electric.

Let's hope the rest of this 'specially themed' merchandise includes something worth while. How about buying the rights to the original recordings off Booby O and putting them out? Now, that would be worth it :-)
He wants too much money, unfortunately.

I just feel this idea wasn't workshopped thoroughly....

Maybe this is the plan. Sell enough tea sets, buy out Bobby O.

Lots of questions come to mind about this product. Off the top of my head - why? Seriously? I guess that's two so far! How many of us here have been begging for something like this? It just screams chintzy.

I'm actually quite appalled at this and embarrassed on their behalf. Yes, no one is being forced to buy the product, but come on.. I never ever thought I'd see the day that PSB "jumped the shark".
There is beauty in ugliness and ugliness in beauty.

Smacks of Kiss merchandising.

I'm on the fence. I don't really have 600 quid spare right now to just drop but it might be nice to have.

Anyone suggesting the price is steep clearly doesn't understand the prices for china pottery. It's probably about right.

I see the link. Quintessentially British, just like the Boys.

Have they fallen on hard times? Is austerity biting hard?

If you want money just put out a VF edition of Nonetheless with the instrumentals!

Re the 40 years and that logo - why not some sort of special release?

Enjoyed hearing the Dreaming of the Queen instrumental.

Before you complain about the prices...then there is a reason.

"Handcrafted Fine Bone China Tea Cups with 22ct Gold hand painted decoration"

Is not my typical IKEA product. I would settle with an IKEA PSB mug.

Will skip this one - I dont like small mugs (never understood such tiny 190 ml things).
