I swear it's like there is a secret cabal of bitter, disenchanted VH1 fans out there with sleeper cells everywhere trying to sabotage VEI's good name & reputation! :lol:

Shame about the mixup on the colouring for that XO shirt. I still intend to go for the Lemire Harby shirt. Anyone able to say if the sizes fit as they should? I always have trouble buying tee's because sometimes mediums fit me better & sometimes large fits better (and I hate baggy oversized shirts, so I don't automatically go for large).

I have not ordered anything from the online store yet. I know what it means when members say that shirts don't look exactly like the photos. If you are not satisfied with the item, keep it sealed (unused) and simply return it.

The policy is on the website:

http://valiant.cinderblock.com/faq#q6" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Q: What is your return policy?
A: Here are the basics:
We will accept a return for any reason within 30 days of receipt.
Only items in re-sellable condition may be returned unless damaged or defective.


All Returns must be accompanied with a Return Authorization (RA) number. To obtain an RA number, please email us at support@cinderblock.zendesk.com with the following information:
Your order number
Your name and contact information
Reason for return
Wrap the package securely and send the package to the following address:
Cinder Block LLC
2220 W Winton Ave
Hayward, CA 94545
Please allow 30 days for us to receive and process your request.

VEI just launched this store and perhaps the sample image on the website is not the exact color. Or it may have been an edited photo of the shirt.

Just email these guys. I'm sure everyone who is not satisfied will be taken cared of.

Looking at the shirt, it does look different. I am 100% that if VEI corrects the color on these shirts, people will be looking for the 1st Generation one (the orange color) because these are gonna be more limited.

When that happens, I am sure everyone will wish that they had this color shirt instead of the newer correct color shirt. This shirt could be considered as the Error Limited Print Shirt. :D

Hmmm. Maybe it'd not a bad idea to order this one before VEI decides to pull this item off. If these are defective, wouldn't they be destroyed and be more valuable. :o

Here is a PIC of the Harbinger T-shirt. Looks great! I got a large and it fit good. I think I am going to get the Bloodshot shirt next. Hopefully the pins will come back soon and ill get them too. I ordered the Harbinger pin but I am one of those people that have to wait 4-5 weeks for it.

I would like a T-shirt or two (that Bloodshot is gorgeous) but I'm holding out in hopes of a shirt that isn't cut for a guy. They don't fit right otherwise, and I end up not wearing them b/c they're not as comfortable. I don't want to perform T-shirt surgery on it, either.

Please, Valiant, offer shirts cut for chicks :D Same image options as the men's shirts. I don't need any cutesy or girl power graphics, just a cut that doesn't make it look like I raided Dan's closet.

They should make an oversized sleep shirt with Faiths body printed on it. I'd buy that! :lol:

Seriously, though, they have some great kick butt female characters like Kris, Faith and Flamingo, in addition to the rest of their stable, who would lend themselves to women's cuts. At the very least a women's V shirt should be made.

My wife wants a Harbinger jacket cut for a woman. Especially a Faith jacket - white and knee length.

I think a Torque Harbinger hat is a natural!
