I am so unimpressed with Universal's recent crackdown on fan merchandise. If they were selling the same sort of products or ANY products really I'd say they have a case but the things I saw... the fans were not overstepping any bounds, I'd compare their products to official stuff in the same way I'd compare fanfic to actual scripts (good fanfic, but nontheless, clearly not official.) One person is being asked (and I use that term loosely) for almost $9000 in retroactive fees, Black Market Beagles is shutting down just in case (mental note make order tonight) and it's just all kinds of not good.

On the very small plus side, this did make me go ahead and buy those Firefly-related t-shirts that I've been holding off on for a while now for the sake of my bank account. But heck, I'm working now anyway, so does it really matter? ;)

p.s., On the off-chance that you don't know about this site already, you can pretty much always get a discount at CafePress if you go to http://www.cpcoupons.com/ and find a relevant coupon code. :)

I didn't know about that discount code site! Thanks :D

I'm going to be ordering a couple of items before the shut down on Friday as well. While I shouldn't be doing that I obviously can't wait now.
