Okay, somehow I got into the "shop" portion of the USA web site. So, when do we Burn Notice fans get some merchandise to purchase? Hats, t-shirts... whatnot?

And I bet we could come up with some very interesting items to sell! smile.gif (I know a lot of them ended up on the "What are they saying?" thread...)

great bumper sticker. LOL and as for the sunglasses... http://www.amazon.com/Oliver-Peoples-Victo...s/dp/B000YIRIKS

I has seen a diffrent pair, but this was the only one I found on Amazon this time.

The sunglasses of justice would be nice. Maybe a model car of the Charger with tiny figures of Mike, Fi, and Sam. Or Mom with a cancer stick in her mouth.

I initially wrote the British version of cigarette (spelled F-A-G) but the message board's censor software replaced with "very attractive and successful homosexual". LOL!!!

LMAO!! So glad you clarified, vestokes. laugh.gif Saw that post after it was censored, but before you edited and thought WTH????? Too funny!!!!

An action figure set of Michael Westen would be lovely...shirtless Michael with the towel, Armani suit Michael, T-shirt and jeans Michael, Pyscho-Michael, et. al, complete, of course, with removable sunglasses...and yes, love the model Charger idea with miniature Michael, Sam, & Fi inside! cool.gif
Mayuko
I want a Psycho-Michael action figure! I really like the bumper sticker NatashaFatale! I also want the Welcome to Miami snowglobe.

Really, I'd settle for any merchandise. I'd wear a Burn Notice T-shirt. Michael bobblehead?

LOL!! Very Funny!! You should have left it!! Imagine the censors seeing what their 'censor software' posted!!! laugh.gif

HOLY SMOKES!!!! Would inflatable Michael be anatomically correct? YOWZA!!!!!!!!!!!
Mousema
You know, I suggested the calendars a long time ago. I would definitely buy that. Also, how about a ball cap with like CIA crossed through or burning (you know, flames)?
CassieLee
How amazing would it be to have a calender of Burn Notice, with all our favorite people on it!!

Also, how amazing would it be to have the inflatable Michael....LOL!!! Yeah, for outdoor pool use only.

The action figures are a wonderful idea, I'd want the whole set. Many great ideas have been mentioned here and I'd spend my money on any of them.

Hopefully Burn Notice will blow out the ratings again this season and someone will notice and provide us fans the toys we require!!
ShawnSpencer
I think the charger would be a great addition.
NatashaFatale
*bumping* this thread for being long overdue

Burn Notice has been one of USA's highest rated shows going on 2 seasons now, and still their NBC Universal USA Network store only has 2 items for sale - the book & the Dvd (not that I don't love the book & Dvd, I do & have purchased many copies for myself & friends & family smile.gif )

But what's a show have to do to be worthy of some merchandise 'round here?

I mean, Burn Notice is like a marketing companies dream! All the cool beach swag, spy gadgets, the list goes on... at least some official t-shirts or snow globe would be nice (like the other USA shows have). Such a bummer that there isn't more -- I'd be happy & proud to show my BN love! They already have stuff as contest prizes & such, I don't see why we shouldn't be able to buy them as gifts.

I sent in my suggestions to the store's Product Suggestion Page & ya'll should too!
(geez-they don't even have BN listed on the feedback list)

the more BN, the better, I say! smile.gif

I'd totally pimp out the show by wearing "a spy is just a criminal with a government paycheck" shirt or something. Come on powers that be, pick up that phone and make it happen! biggrin.gif
LGia19
Yes, I totally agree Natasha!!!Please powers that be- you have a built in customer base right here on the forum! biggrin.gif

or "DamnStraightSkippy" beer mugs! tongue.gif
or Duct tape makes you smarter - bumper stickers
or "You say tomato - I say Pimp" tshirts
We'd buy those -Heck ya! biggrin.gif

That's it Gia! I think you just came up with their whole merchandise line up for them, now they all need to say thank you and send you a ton of free stuff! wink.gif

I could see a chick's t-shirt with the saying, "Nothing turns a woman on more than when something goes BOOM!" It would be a serious moneymaker.

I'd just like a simple black t-shirt with the show logo. A Barry bobblehead would be a moneymaker too...

I would buy one and give to PhilippaConnors for her next birthday... smile.gif

Hmm... a little bit of text magic, some CafePress or Zazzle... those t-shirts are possible...

Now, I'm not one to step on licensing toes, but... C'mon USA! Give us something to buy!

(At Christmas, I'm standing in the bookstore thinking: we really need a BN calendar!)
elisetx
Yes, a BN calendar or coffee mugs with our favorite sayings..............something rolleyes.gif How about black speedos rolleyes.gif ?
FunnyDiva
And the gag action figures! (From the "what are they saying?" thread??). Seriously, Archie McPhee has zillions of silly action figures, why not "trigger happy ex-girlfriend", "I used to be a spy", and "I'm between sugar-mommies"?
Or a Jackson "inhaler": push it and it plays our favorite BN quotes: "Hey, Smooth is smooth, baby!" "I'll see what I can do" "I've got a rifle in the trunk of my car" "somebody needs your help, Michael"

Honestly, we're going to have to do "unauthorized" theme stuff if they don't get off the stick and on the ball here!

I was totally thinking of Cafe Press today, CAGilder I already have a store there. . . I'm just sayin'. . .
PhilippaConnors
Gia, I love the idea of “You say tomato, I say pimp” t-shirt. laugh.gif

And indeed a Barry the Money Launderer bobblehead would be WAY COOL (and would almost upstage the birthday gift CAGilder got for me last year, lol).

Elisetx -- laugh.gif on the black speedos! Oh, and funnyd, there was this hilarious discussion that I stumbled across several months ago - it was a conversation that took place before I was a member, I think? I briefly read through this entire thread and didn't see any mention of it here - but NatashaFatale had designed some Burn Notice action figures as well as a Michael Westen paper doll set. Sec, lemme see if I can track ‘em down…

Okay, here we go. Hope it's alright that I post the links here, Natasha - they're just so awesome. biggrin.gif

Burn Notice Action Figures for Michael, Sam, Fiona, and The Charger [this was just truly inspired. each action figure comes with its own accessories - so Michael's accessories for instance, are a gun, the "sunglasses of justice," and duct tape laugh.gif]
Madeline and Nate Westen action figures

The BN Michael Westen paper doll
The BN Fiona Glenanne paper doll
The BN Sam Axe paper doll

The BN Clue board game (love Barry's card!)

I personally would love to see this merchandise, especially the action figures. I definitely would buy those. [nodding earnestly]

Sounds like we should give Matt Nix and the Merchandising folks fair warning, then! They can't expect us hardcore fans to just sit around with no cool, BN-specific STUFF, now, can they?

I'm still working on the cards for the BN Clue game. In fact, I've got those files stored in the MyPictures directory on my computer at work. My screensaver pulls from that folder and throws up random pictures on my screen. Once I was talking to one of the other BN fans in the office when my screensaver kicked off and up popped the BN Clue pictures.

"What is that?" he asked.

"Top secret... simply 'need to know'," I answered while pressing my shift key to get the photos off the screen.

(Funny thing about work: I go to all the bother of getting up and getting dressed in the morning to get here. And, on top of all that, they expect me to do something productive for the company while I'm here... Go figure! smile.gif )

Not that I want to take away any money from TPTB, but if you would like to make your own shirt, go here: http://www.spreadshirt.com/us/US/T-Shirt/Spreadshirt-1342/ I have some friends who use it who are part of other fandoms who made their own stuff when TPTB came up empty. You can put whatever saying you want on one, then choose the color, t-shirt type, font, anyhow you want to make it. I'm thinking of making my own "A spy is just. . ." you all know the rest! wink.gif

i love all these ideas! i can only hope to see them in the NBC/Universal store someday *fingers crossed*

thanks for posting those links, Phi - aw, what a trip down memory lane smile.gif

that's soo funny, CAGilder! I want my new catchphrase at work to all questions to be:
"Sorry, that's top secret... simply 'need to know'," LOL
Pisces448
I agree! I look everywhere for BN stuff... I found a few things on CafePress.com... some things that say trigger happy ex gf and a shirt with a quote about duct tape... but nothing like other shows have for their fans!!

I like all of theses. What about coffee cups with theses on them biggrin.gif
BjdRN98
Some great ideas already mentioned. Coincidentally, I had been searching the net for just a gray T or hoodie with the BN logo on it...even checked Cafe Press, although I'd much rather go with a high quality original from an officially licensed USA store (hint hint). Love the girl and guy themed show quotes for shirts too...and coffee mugs always go over well. Good gift ideas.
BjdRN98
Seriously...anyone know who we can persuade at the USA network (maybe on the forums?) into offering some T-shirt/hoodie/coffee mug/sticker kinda stuff with the Burn Notice logo on it? Seems to me this is an untapped market. I'd be happy to send out a few emails and rattle a few cages if it would improve the BN store.
BjdRN98
Ok, so I've officially beaten the dead horse...but doesn't the start of season 3 warrant consideration for a Burn Notice official store?

You've probably seen it, but you can enter the contest on the BN main page. The weekly prize has some BN gear. I'm almost more interested in that than the grand prize. Well, not quite. And you can re-enter every Thursday.





BjdRN98
Yeah, I've seen it...and have been trying. Thanks for the head's up on it, though. Just want an actual store with official Burn Notice goodies so that I can promote the show.
mjstinger103
it works like this, at universal studios, they have merchandise stores for every movie ride. they have almost every thing from the show, available for purchase. every thing from sunglasses, clothing, posters, action figures, stationary,hats, etc.... not real designer stuff, but a good replica. this is what we need from the usa network. there are thousands of BN fans who would spend a lot of money. just being able to buy a pair of replica Oliver peoples 55 victory sunglasses, or Fi's hip purse, or any thing from the show, would make usa lots of money. besides, if you have BN fans walking around wearing a BN baseball hat or t-shirt, that's just free advertising for the show! wink.gif

Hey guys, did you see the Tshirt on cafepress that has Michaels "rules" about stealing cars. I so want that shirt. I can't believe that USA is not marketing this stuff I know I would definitely buy some of the Burn Notice merchandise. They are sitting on a goldmine, in my opinion.

Amen! Burn Notice logos...show quotes...all over the usual goodies. Huge audience that keeps growing. Seems like a no-brainer to me!

Although it isn't directly "Burn Notice" but rather Bruce Campbell related, but a friend just alerted me to the fact that Amazon.com is having a tv sale and currently the DVD set for "Brisco County Jr." is priced at $40 (usually it is around $100). I just ordered mine. Helloooo Briscooo ;-)
