Alice Official Store - what do you want?

I am on the email list for the AC Store. Over the years, the changes there have been minimal, and nothing new has truly been appealing. Not to contradict myself, but I bought one thing from the store over a decade ago, and it's still available. I'd like some new choices, please. Maybe they're looking for some suggestions...? Here's mine... I'd love a series of 16 oz. solid collectible coffee mugs. Simple, original album graphics, no trendy crap.
>LITD - Simple white mug with the back cover band photo on one side, album/band name on the other.
>Killer - Red mug to reflect original album cover, snake photo front, album/band name on the other.
> School's Out - A little more expensive - all-around photo cover, heart logo/title on one side, band initials on the other.
>BDB - Green mug to reflect original album cover Coin logo (title) and rhinestones one one side, band photos on the other.
Tick tock, people. I do buy Alice stuff - just not from the Official Store. I won't be waving my wallet at you forever.

100 views in, and nobody has given a response. Sucks to care about the viability of our favorite artist, I guess.

Maybe band mug collecting is your only little niche market?

Honest question for everybody, what is the last thing that you bought from the Official AC Store? Aren’t there any other ideas?

Honestly? Probably not unless they were pretty cheap (inc postage).

I don't think I have ever bought anything direct from the official store, or if I have it was a very long time ago.

That’s my point.

That’s my point. This site represents the target market.

I've bought three T-shirts over the years. One fit OK. The other two did not. They all claimed to be the same size.
I've not seen a T-shirt design there that I've even liked since 2018.

i'm not a fan of the official store. the odd time something cool is there its too expensive.
I have only brought the trash anniversary t-shirt and hoodie. thats it.
I was hoping for constrictor and raise your fist cool anniversary tops etc but they were not good.
very underwhelming store overall id say. i presume some people are buying stuff.....maybe>?

It takes something very special to get into my wallet. I do collect mugs, but the design has to blow me away. A simple album cover on a white cup won't do it.

Last thing I bought was the Santa Claws shirt. Got a Keeping Halloween Alive shirt as a gift as well. With Alice's career, you'd think they'd have better shirts.
Make more stuff like the "We're All Crazy" shirt with Alice in a straight jacket that they sold at the tour shirt stand a couple years ago. The few things I like since then seem to sell out of the regular sizes. It's always Small, Medium and 3XL left over.

Never bought official merchandise from the official store, only from gigs and only one item per tour. Last unofficial purchase was three years ago, a zipper catches skin white T-shirt which actually attracted interest from folk when I wore it. A couple of folk stopped me and said they liked it because it wasn’t your typical old fashioned black rock shirt. They loved the design but has no idea it was an album cover.

Off the beaten path. I like it.

Been thinking about mugs..the ones where the picture changes as they heat up.How about:
- An empty gallows changing to one with Alice hanging there.
- A picture of the original band changing to just Alice.
- A no make up to full make up Alice.
Plenty of options available here.

Speaking of the official store, what the hell is up with the KILLER 50th anniversary merch??? Literally a left over Raise the Dead 2013 tour shirt and some other one with some strange design. Once in a while they'll have something nice (like the grey America 73 B$B shirt and LITD one with the OGs on the front a few years ago), but a lot of the tour t-shirts and other merch are WAY overdone and cartoony. The only time I buy a shirt at an event is if its something Hazmat didn't design (like the Hollywood Bowl 2014 shirt)
I did buy that Madhouse Rock hoodie and it's pretty nice. Very simple design.
