They were on sale separately at Obscure (smiles happily in direction of handbag).

No, the charms were sold separately. I have one left. If someone’s interested, please DM me. Shipping would be from Austria.

€115 for a hoodie!

Yes, yes, I know that this is now 'normal' pricing for band merch, but what a time to be alive!

The bag charms have only (so far) been sold at the Obscure merch outlet, and separately from the keychain.

My wife said she didn't see them at the merch stand upstairs at the Monday Obscure concert. Maybe sold out already for that night, but she would definitely have bought if she'd spotted them.

I hope they make their way to the OS.

They were in a bowl on the sales counter, along with the keyrings, not pinned up behind as things like that usually are. I think they probably did sell out very quickly every night, but we were able to get up there first thing on the Thursday and picked one up then. I hope they get onto the OS as well, but suspect they might have actually sold out completely or they already would be.

Agreed. We're being fleeced.

Retro. :)

Now if the hoodie was a reversible fleece, it might be worth the wonga.

I don't understand the connection between Suburbia and Leaving, and where is Neil's Suburbia and Chris's Leaving t-shirt.

Another way if seeing it is that you have two really good photos, one is each Pet Shop Boy, regardless of which record sleeve that they are connected to, and then do one T-shirt with them both and two separate T-shirts with one member each. I like the idea and I like the T-shirts.

I am fed up with t-shirts and tee cups. They are musicians, not clothings makers or pottery « Patrick Swayze » alike. I want the singles box set since 1984 and that’ s it.
