@Riot: A merchandise problem?

Why is it so hard to find and buy League merchandise? I was at PAX this year, which was awesome and the LCS puts on a great show, but there was no booth to buy anything. Even a basic search online shows that it can be pain to get anything beyond the same 5 t-shirts, and as of this writing merch.leagueoflegends.com is down. I know there is a merch store at LCS California for the events, but as far as I know you can’t get that stuff anywhere else.

So I have a couple of questions for Riot

**Why is there so few merchandise available? ** -League is huge, shouldn't there be toys and plushies and stuff available everywhere for a majority of your champions, wouldn’t there be money in it, and wouldn’t you make fans happy in the process?

**Why is the stuff you have so rare and hard to find? ** - I know there are stuff like blitz jackets and poro plushies, yet I have never seen them for sale short of ebay. At PAX one of the rioters for the community panel had a sweet Ziggs t-shirt, I main Ziggs, I would love to buy that shirt and wear it but I can’t =-(

Heck even the Symbolic Teemo hat is hard to get if you don’t exactly know where to look. It took me months before I finally found one at a Convention.

Some companies go overboard with merch, and I am not recommending that Riot sells out. But I spend a lot of time with this game, either through playing or watching the LCS. I enjoy it and I like having shirts and junk that show others I like it and I am willing to give Riot money to do it.

Anybody else agree? Disagree? Riot, any comment?

Omg yes... I've wanted a Rammus hat since I first saw one years ago. I was told that they were available at events... Didn't see it last year at PAX Prime to my disappointment. This year I asked a bunch of people that had one - and none had gotten it at PAX.

I could buy it online... But I dunno... I feel like there's something special to buying it at an event.

Found some new store who is selling league merch, I have talked to owner, they want to add hats, shirts, etc from customer suggestions. I strongly suggest you visit them. They are trustworthy as I have bought a few items from them.
