We need to list all the Freebies you can get with your order. As far as the keychains go, I only know of the Strongbadia Stop sign. -- FireBird

I seriously think that they should make plushies of Strong Bad, Homestar and the rest of the dudes, don't you? - Miss Free Country USA

Clean up

Re-writing

This page really needs major work, especially in the updating-to-the-new-page department. I think we could also have a section or maybe another page for the Flash store page that they just recently stopped using. -- Tom 19:57, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, it was done for the FAQ and the Email FAQ. Any ideas for the title of the old store page? I was thinking either "Old Store" or "Flash Store". --videlectrix.pngENUSY discussionitem_icon.gif user.gifmail_icon.gif, 22:10, 23 May 2005 (BST)

Do you want them to be organized (the items) as they are in the store? -- [[User:fahooglewitz1077|fahooglewitz1077 | Talk]] 20:35, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Hey guys, check out my new cosplay! I mean, my Store revamp. Aurora the Homestar Coder 18:41, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Orphaned Image

Until a new section of this article (or a new article altogether) is created, the following is a screenshot of the "old" flash-based store that is no longer linked to any part of the site. I am including it here so it doesn't get "lost in the shuffle": —THE PAPER PREEEOW 14:18, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Easter Eggs

I'm not seeing this 'Dancing Homestar' easter egg... Is this confirmed? Can it be clarified at all? Thunderbird 21:37, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Yep. Certainly there. Try using "Tab". —FireBird|Talk
It doesn't work on firefox for whatever reason however super orange!
Didn't work at first. Refreshed it and worked like a charm (in FireFox). E.L. Cool 21:55, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
Works for me. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 -- Tom 21:56, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
Works for me in Firefox 1.0.4. —FireBird|Talk
how wierd! I refreshed and it works fine now! O_o
Amazing!!! E.L. Cool 07:35, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Okay, figured that out (used Internet Explorer), but now I'm stuck on the other one. Where can I view the time at Bub's (the other easter egg)? Thunderbird 12:08, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Switch you computer clock to, say, ten o' clock and it will be night at Bubs'. —FireBird|Talk 12:10, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
Just like in Population: Tire. E.L. Cool 14:33, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
Ah, I see. CLARIFIE'D!!!! Thunderbird 23:51, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Random Troll, Maybe?

Why are the lyrics to "The Cheat" written SMACKDAB in the middle of "Out of Production" and "Toys" like someone trolled the page like a brainless n00b? (Not newb, as in a new guy, n00b as in an idiot) Mashi 15:40, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Transcribed?

I'd like to give a whack at transcribing the product descriptions (actually just copy 'n' paste). Would that make the page too cluttery? Maybe we could make a table with the product pictures and descriptions. Aurora the Homestar Coder 02:35, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

The last shirt.

The last tone on the shirts in the old store... Am I crazy or is that one not actually Homestar? It doesn't sound like a human voice to me.

Other retailers?

Hi all, I sell H*R stuff in Australia. Would it be appropreate to link my site on the wiki?

I'm not completly sure of wiki-etiquette!

MAYBE on your User page (if you have one); nowhere else. --Jay (Gobble) 21:43, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You could ask the Brothers Chaps to mention your place at their store locator, but right now they only list American and Canadian stores. --TROGGA! 17:11, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

nothing but products.

Proof that Homestarrunner.com is becoming nothing more than a commercial product.

Uh... it's a Store page... is there a point here I'm missing? I've been seeing a lot of odd comments from regular users here all of a sudden... --Jay (Gobble) 21:43, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Hasn't the Store page been there for years? Homestar Coderhomestar-coder-sig.gif 21:47, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Legal Question

Can I obtain Strong Bad's face (for example), print it, go to my local T-shirt printer and do my own shirt? It will be only for personal use and I wouldn't make a dime out of this. Is it legal? Elcool (talk)(contribs) 12:50, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)

As long as you don't sell it commercially, I don't think. User:Rogue Leader.sig

You don't think it's legal, or you don't think it will be a problam? Elcool (talk)(contribs) 02:27, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

No, it's not legal. TBC have given the rights to reproduce their characters to the company that prints their shirts, and producing your own shirt undermines their ability to turn a profit. Now, as long as you don't sell your shirt (I'm assuming we're talking about one copy), you probably won't attract much notice. But you asked whether it was legal, not whether you would likely be prosecuted. — It's dot com 02:40, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

OK, now I get it. Thanks. Elcool (talk)(contribs) 11:26, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC) (And yeah.. I already made one :P)

Hey Thanks

I just found out an easter egg if you buy something at the store. It is called Hey, Thanks! Can someone make an article and make the article. It is a real toon. In order for you to view it, you must buy somethig. If you type in the URL, it has somnething with Strong Bad, instead of Homestar and Marzy. User:Rogue Leader.sig

For all who are doubting, he link is [1], but Strong Bad gives a message about "sneaking in the back door". I have yet to buy something from the real store, so I have not seen the actually "Thanks" toon. —FireBird|Talk 21:37, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Ok, here is a link to my recently ordered [2] figurine thing. Click the continue button. User:Rogue Leader.sig
Cool. And it looks like they use a bit of JavaScript to check where you are coming from on the "heythanks" page. I found five more files from references in the "sneaking in the back door" flash file:
  1. thankyou_celegante.swf
  2. thankyou_bubsness.swf
  3. thankyou_song.swf
  4. thankyou_cinnamon.swf
  5. thankyou_bonus.swf
but I can't figure out if they are supposed to do anything yet or not. -- Tom 00:13, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)
So, shouold we add this as an easter egg, or should we make an article. User:Rogue Leader.sig
