| Yeah, saw them but $ 150,- is pretty much for three plastic dolls, isn't it?! I think the original bobble head of Brian was cooler... BB | |

| It should be in the Stray Cats store, not the Setzer store. Are you actually considering buying a set this time, Dave? You passed on the last bobblehead, and now the global economy is pure shite! Coincidence??? Bailout-a-billy | |

| Congratulations, rocker 61 - it looks like they've all sold out. Hope y'all got yours, because now they're going to be on eBay for $500 a set. Hopefully, they were just hastily listed in error, and will be available at The Brian's The Birthday Party. Or the rescheduled dates for the Euro Tour. Hah! Almost had you on that one...

| Yeh, I saw them in a shop in Japan a couple of weeks ago. I know they are a bit expensive but they are super cool!!!! I'd love to get them, but unfortunatelly, I'm quite short on money nowadays (bloody crisis!!) |

| Steve, your Avatar is phenomenal! Mine, of course, is Lt. Dangle of Reno 911 - a hilarious spoof of "reality" police shows like Cops and Real Stories of the Highway Patrol. I guess it would be Reno 999 over in the UK.
I was moved to post it when Jon revealed his rocking David Niven/ Lt. Dangle moustache in his updated avatar recently. Jon might be able to pull off the "short-shorts" look as well as Lt. Dangle, but thankfully, we don't have to find out.
Dr. Zaius! HAHAHAHAHA! Too much!

| Those bobble heads were available at the Adelaide show for $60 Australian dollars. By the time the concerts got to Melbourne they were $150 Australian dollars That's what I call inflation. I didn't buy one at $60AUD, aint no way known I was going to buy it at $150 AUD but at $150 USD | |

I wasn't interested in them, I thought $60 was expensive until I heard about the Melbourne price. Ahhh, hindsight is a wonderful thing. Pony without a bridal | |

| I think that merchandising is a nice source of income for the artists and as business people, I don't deny their right to do and put the prices they want... but on the other hand, I consider that those "souvenirs" should be somehow more accesible to the fans. I am not saying they should be for free, but somehow much more accesible.
At their Euro tour, I bought one of those T-shirts, and it costed me 30 Euro, and I honestly find it expensive (it would be something like 40 USD and probably 50 AUS). How much does a tee costs?? 3-4 Euro?? How much the printing?? An extra Euro?? So... let's say 5 Euro in all... and they're making a profit of 25!!!! My goodness!! probably 20 Euro would have been the correct price...
I just bought the Tee because I collect them (i have like 13 tees or so) and also because it's a nice memory from the show but oterhwise, I doubt very much I would have purchased it.
As for the bobble-heads, or even any other product, they should stick to a price all through the tour.
I remember the 68 CBS in Europe; they played 2 shows in Spain: Madrid & Barcelona. At Madrid, the bowling shirts were like 8.000 pesetas (about 50 Euro)... by the next day at Barcelona, they wer 12.000 (75 Euro). I just find merch way too expensive. |

| what is that on Slim Jim´s hands? hot dogs???? The 1st Setzer bobblehead from 2006/07 was nice and good quality. It did sure worth the 35 bucks they asked for it. Now... $119 plus shipping + taxes, is a complete rip off. Why didn´t they produced them in the same great high quality as the original Setzer bobblehead???? We would have payed even $200 bucks for them!!!! at least I would have. I even have a Ramones "made in China" set that cost me $30 bucks at my local record store with Johnny, Joey, Dee-dee and Marky that looks absolutely great. I´ll have to take a picture of them and put it up here. These Cats bobbleheads are a J-O-K-E. No wonder why there are some left after the tour. | |
