New Store Design!


It’s been a year in the making, but the new Fangamer Store is live! In addition to a pretty new face, the new store brings a slew of new features, including:

  • High-res product photos and descriptions
  • Automatic sellout signups! As soon as a product sells out, you can sign up.
  • Cart page lets you calculate shipping before checking out
  • New Twitter/Facebook buttons for easy friend-spamming
Enjoy it in the warm, glowing, warming glow of your computing device at http://fangamer.net

New Shirts Coming!

Vote which shirts you want to see first!

Among the designs we present, a number of them don’t get shown. Also, many designs we do for pins, posters and stickers can do quite well on a shirt, so we’re looking back at all of our ideas and presenting them in classic top notch Fangamer fashion. Let us know what your favorites are!

Hip to Be Square

Busy Beaver recently started making custom 1″ square pins and we had to jump on board cause they just look so awesome. Pictured above are just some of our new spiffy square pins. You can now purchase the first set, the Chipbender Pin Set, separately from the RTP bundle (as well as the Pixelpulse Poster) and our second square pins the Kongo Pin Set. Expect us to be more square in the future!

Btw, check out Liz’s This Week in Twitter post below that I intentionally bumped. ;)

Track Jackets and Pork Army Shirts!

In addition to the Handbooks, we’ve been keeping busy this month preparing three excellent new products for launch: StarguyPK Love track jackets and Pork Army shirts!

The Pork Army shirts, like all of our shirts, come with some sweet 1” pins you’ll recognize from the first pin set. The Track Jackets are both embroidered and come with painfully cool patches.

And, of course, we’re almost done shipping the Handbooks, so we’ll soon be catching up on orders from the past week! If you’ve placed an order recently (or are planning to place an order soon) we’ll be shipping your order sometime early next week.

With these new updates out of the way, Jon, Ryan, and Reid are going to get back to work on the MOTHER 3Handbook website, which we hope to launch in a week or two. In the meantime, please, spread the word about the Handbook and our other merchandise! We live and die by word of mouth from you guys, the fans.

A quick look at some of our upcoming merchandise:

  • FaB Pins
  • Patch Set #1
  • Shirt reprints
  • Gummie Plushies?
  • Shark Punk Figurines?

Whew, it’s been a few long months.

And you guys thought this blog would never get updated…

Well to recap what’s happened since April(!), we launched the new forum without too terribly much of a hitch. There’s been a few hiccups along the way, things not working after caching issues, Passenger issues (which, thankfully, have been fixed with the later versions), Textile issues, logins ‘sticking’ instead of forcing people to logout, and login issues with the main site. While my list shrinks, there’s still more to do!

After the jump, I explain the upcoming future for the main site.
