Hey Everyone,

As I'm sure you've heard by now, we are finally live with our merch beta store ( http://merch.riotgames.com ) , awww yeah!

We wanted to create a central hub for feedback on the store, and I'll be here, along with Bradmore and Tocelote to respond to feedback you have throughout the day.

EDIT - Working on performance issues atm, sorry all.

Big suggestion on the figures/statues: Please include what they are made out of in the item description. $70.00 US for that Thresh statue is a bit much for something that appears to be the same quality as $25-$30.00 NECA/DC Direct statues. For merchandise like that materials can make all the difference in determining value. Don't be vague like "these aren't your average materials we are using", the people that are going to buy statues/toys of your characters know what they are getting into and want to know what they are made out of before purchasing.

To the people complaining about the prices and amount of items keep in mind this is a BETA. Which means they won't have everything you ever wanted. Give them time to figure out price points and what products they will be adding over time.

That being said. I have a question in terms of the figures. Who came up with the designs for them?

Copy/paste before my thread is inevitably buried in the swarm that comes with a red post.

Prices are about what I expected to see. For everyone that might complain about their hoodie prices, just search that phrase in Google. You'll see them go anywhere from $70-$130, so it's about normal. Shirts are priced at what I've seen at conventions and clothing stores.

Figures are meh honestly. I've paid less for better looking figmas. The Thresh statue is too detailed, which ended up making it look like a mess in my opinion. I think I would've liked it more if you went with a New Dawn kind of style for it with smoother geometry. Not a fan of the style for the chibis, but that's a personal opinion as well.

Posters are nice, if you like posters. Nothing we've never seen before though. Plushies look good too if you like plushies.

I might get a shirt or two for my Christmas shopping. Might also actually buy the mousepad just to have something nifty for my desk honestly.

7/10. Looking forward to seeing what they release in the future :)

Just ordered my Thresh t-shirt! Super excited to get it.

I would have gotten the Jinx or Leona figurines as well, but I feel as though if I get Jinx, I need to have a Vi accompany it, or a Diana with a Leona. I figured I would hold out until I see what other figurines will be coming along.

Really hoping for a Sejuani Ashe Lissandra trio to sit on my desk. Rito plz.

Wait till they start selling Katarina, Ahri, Sona, Caitlyn, etc. (any other female champion but Rek'Sai) on sized action collection figures...

So what's your profit margin on the Thresh/Demacia Hoodie? Can't imagine those will be very fast movers at an 85$ price point O.o Unless I missed something where they're like rated for -30 degrees weather or something, lol. Why would anyone buy them is what I'm asking, what's your selling point. The designs aren't particularly detailed, is the material super high quality? If you don't have like a 20/80 cost/profit margin on these (like they cost 20$ to make and you make 65$) why did they cost so much to make?

Make me want one. The Demacia Hoodie is pretty bangin, but not anywhere near 85$ bangin if it's just a cotton/poly blend hoodie with an iron-on design.

Please consider slashing EU prices at least 20% because the 1:1 Dollar-Euro translation really gets on people's nerves. An 85$ Hoodie is already expensive. But that's less than 70 euro by today's currency exchange values. Asking 80 Euro for it is a 13% increase in price.

Where's the gnar merch :/

Anima umbra12/4/2014, 2:53:47 PM4 votes

Hello there! I'm kinda confused, because on the EU Shop Site there's no Rammus Poro, does this mean that's only exclusive for NA? And another question is: why are the prices in $ and € identical? I mean there has to be some difference because of the exchange rate of dollar and euro. So its kinda unfair that the stuff in EU is more expensive than in NA. Greets

I'm just curious, because a whole lot of other games that develop merch stores do this, will there be any champion/ward skins that are only available via a code you get from buying a specific item in the merch store?

Example: An in-game Pirate Gragas skin that you can only unlock via a code you receive when you buy the Gragas figurine in the merch store. Or a Thresh lantern ward skin that's only available via a code that comes with the merch statue?

First off everything looks very high quality! So that's always awesome for an online shop.

Second, ALMOST everything is at a price that i expected an item of that type would be. For example, i expected plushies to be $20-$30, posters to be in the range of $10-$20, Figures to be $20-$40.

What i did NOT expect was a hoodie to be $60-$90. $50 is generally an average price so $60 wouldn't be a huge strech... but $85? Holy crap! What made them so expensive? Is the demacian symbol hand stitched?

You should sell Twisted Fate cards!!! TwistedFate It would be cool if you 3 separate decks of cards, one being his Gold Card, Red Card and Blue Card.

We need a plushie for every single thing in the game. Oh gosh all those plushies are so cool and cute...

SklounstDraxxer12/12/2014, 1:38:49 PM3 votes

Just got my thresh t shirt from the store! While I love the design, keep in mind these sizes run WAY small. I'm a 2xl kinda dude, bought 2xl, and it fits more like a small xl. And I've bought a TON of 2xl shirts in my time, never had one fit this small.

I look like a marshmallow in a condom.

It's a sexy look.

Hey, I bought some stuff, really happy this is here, I have been looking for Merch since I went to PAX Prime and there was no store at the LCS regionals.

The prices are a bit high, BUT this stuff is so rare that they are still worth it. If the market gets flooded I am not sure they can hold these price points, but I am happy to pay this now, just to get stuff.

I am also looking forward to new stuff, I hope you will consider some community involvement with this, Sites like TeeFury let people submit designs it would be cool if this was THE PLACE for that kind of thing league related.

As a side, one of the Rioters at PAX had a super awesome Ziggs shirt that kinda looked like the rengar one you have, (couldn't find a good picture of it but he wore it to the design panel) As a Ziggs main, I would love that shirt. Any chance we will see it?

Thanks again for this store, I look forward to seeing MOAR!

@Riot

Going to point out the elephant in the room here, but not everyone who plays LoL shops at Baby Gap for their clothing. Will there ever be any sizes on clothing bigger than 2XL?

Yes, 2XL is big, but again, there are people who are bigger and wear 3XL or 4XL in this world. And that's a demographic who cannot buy Riot's clothing because they don't fit into the clothing.

Hey guys! I was just wondering if there's a possibility, Slovenia will become one of the countries, items will be able to be shipped to, one day. Really love all the merch and I wanna order some!

SeexydVanessa12/4/2014, 5:49:06 PM1 votes

Will you guys be adding more merch to the store?

Snoozer Zzz12/4/2014, 8:47:12 PM1 votes

I remember on J!NX they had a Blitzcrank and Malzahar hoodie, Are you guys going to sell those in the merch store? I really wanted to buy one but they aren't available anymore. :C
