I would definitely buy one.
I don't think that will be a problem

I think T-Shirts to help promote the book are a great idea. If someone is heading this up pm/email me and we'll see about getting you some art from the HC

I have relatives who work in the t-shirt business, making, buying, and selling, so I could ask around to see how much it would cost to make up some quality shirts with artwork in them.

My question is, would they be to sell or to give away for free? They might ask and I'd need to know to figure out how much I can invest in them.

Not all companies would reason this wisely.

I'd be interested in a T as well, even if I can't make it to the show.

I know nobody in the t-shirt business. What would also work out well is if we got these shirts in advance enough that we were able to wear them to our LCS when we go to pick up our copies of the Harbinger HC. Then other customers that weren't aware of the HC would be bugging the owner about getting the books. Create a mania.

How about signature banners like marvel did for civil war but for Harbigner: the beginning? That way we can spread the word to other message boards that we post on. Can anyone make these?

Okay I did one myself

Great idea, but that's a little big for some sites/MBs.

Another idea is someone making up a promo poster, posting it up on here (or VE.com), so that people could print them out and hand them to comic shops or any other relevant place. I'd suggest including the Diamond order info on it somewhere as well.

Greg already did that, heh.

I think he posted it in one of the two announcement threads he opened.

I would like a t-shirt that says: I wanted Defiant but instead I got Valiant
instead.

Crude, but effective. (I hope.)

I was referring more towards something the comic shop could hang up in the store. But that's a good flyer.

Here's the info I got

Each t shirt (white, short sleeve, round neck, size XXL) is about 24.50 PESOS (roughly two dollars). If you want it to be a polo shirt (three buttons below the neckline) that one's about 39.30 pesos (roughly 3.50 USD)

Putting the image using a laser printer (I've seen the result and it's high quality work) is about 10 pesos (roughly a dollar).

I've looked and I can't find any bigger sizes, sorry.

Each shirt might end up running around five dollars more or less. What I could do is make shirts that are XXL and under while someone else (in the US) could handle the bigger sizes.

I'd need to know who wants how many shirts and what size. If you guys want me to do this we should set up some sort of deadline for how long people have to sign up for a shirt).

Here's the image I came up with for it (this is the JPEG version. The shirt would be done using a higher quality BMP).

Keep in mind that I'd be taking them to SDCC to hand them out. I can't do the whole shipping thing

The image I have on the comp is much bigger than this one (there must be a size limit on the board for linked images), but if you have any suggestions for other colors, I'm listening.

Well, you put the writing right over Flamingo's *ahem*.

Surely that can be corrected.
