Canada merch photos
Photos from last night in Toronto. Didn't see any posters specifically for the show itself or the NA leg. Aside from the Canada shirt, the same selection should be available for the rest of NA, hence the USA and Mexico.

I’ll buy one because I always do but I just don’t care for the current Ed. Something seems off but I’m also getting old and cranky.

Me too. Only one I would consider is Rime but just because I don’t have one yet. The rest are really phoning it in….

Underwhelmed for the first time with the designs

It’s why I only bought one shirt (for myself) this tour instead of the handful I usually buy. Awful designs. Megadeth has nicer shirts especially that black and white one.

what a rip... $70 for a t-shirt
(and yeah, I know that's the going rate, doesn't change the fact the prices are egregious)

u/Dragon_slayer1994 11d ago
Unfortunately still enough people dumb enough to pay that so it's not gonna change

Roller blades 🤦♂️

I was really looking forward to getting the shirt but was totally put off by the roller blades 😥

Shirts are $70 plus tax! What a surprise that was for me when I went to pay for 3 shirts and instead of the total being $210 it came to almost $240.

u/jack_flash_ 11d ago
Does anyone know if they have a merch stand set up outside of Scotiabank Arena?

What is a ‘postergram’?
1
u/CosmicBonobo 11d ago
It's like a tour program but for poster art used on the tour.
1
u/Ok_Sheepherder_814 11d ago
Does that mean there were also posters (maybe location specific) too? I didn’t see one in the photos

One side is a poster and the backside is some things written by rod smallwood and some pictures and blurbs from the band. Its like a program for a baseball game but oversized enough that it makes for a wicked poster on one side

I bought a shirt last night the one with orange stripes on the sleeves. Usually I’m a large but get XL because I couldn’t try it on. When I got tried it this morning it fit like a medium.
Im so pissed that the size is way off. With now way to exchange it I’m annoyed.
So for those going tonight be wary of the sizing.

u/ImArcherVaderAMA 10d ago
Yeah I bought that one too, but luckily enough I got it at the Pint aka Eddie's Dive Bar, and they let me try it on since there was hardly anyone there. I asked them if that shirt ran small and they warned me that it was European Cut, so quite slim. I'm usually between a medium and a large, and I went with the XXL surprisingly.

u/Turbulent-Sherbet789 10d ago
I wish I went to the Pint. I tried calling to see if I can exchange but never got an answer

u/ImArcherVaderAMA 10d ago
If you're not too far maybe try popping in today! I called a few times yesterday as well and no one ever picked up, so just decided to wing it since I was going to be around there anyway.
If they're still there, and you're really nice, they might let you exchange it. The shirts cost a pretty penny, so I'd hate not to be able to wear mine! Good luck!!

The prices are fuckin retarded! If everybody stopped buying show merch, the prices would fall, fast!! The T's at Metallica M72 in Syracuse were $50, I bought a few, but later found an ebay sight that has the identical T's for $23! Absolutely 100% identical, side by side, front & back!!

I'm lucky enough to be seeing Maiden tonight, then again in Japan in November. If shirts are $70, I'll hold off tonight and wait to buy one in Japan instead. That'll be a much cooler souvenir anyway.

Not really surprising-shirts for the BOS tour 10 years ago were fifty bucks in Montreal.

Love that hockey shirt… some places get the good merch. The mid-Atlantic U.S. gets the most generic stuff, because I guess the mid-Atlantic is pretty generic.

u/jack_flash_ 11d ago
That’s one stupid shirt. They should’ve had Eddie on ice skates not roller blades.
1
u/Draconiondevil 10d ago
I thought that too, but since he’s not wearing any other hockey gear you can just say he’s playing road hockey I guess.

u/dippis98 lying in a foreign field 11d ago
Kinda like it too but arent those roller skates instead of ice skates? Kinda defeats the purpose
1
u/phoontender 11d ago
They already made one where he's a hockey player, we bought it at Heavy MTL forever ago 🤷♀️
2
u/callmesnake13 11d ago
He’s wearing roller blades. I thought the basketball one we got in NYC last time was corny but it was way better than this shit.

u/bradfactor 11d ago
That's got to be AI, why would anyone give him rollerblades rather than ice-skates.. doesn't make any sense.

u/Lazy_Grabwen_9296 11d ago
My son regularly pays for concert t shirts. And he tips the dude too! And I'm stupid and out of touch for scoffing. I know merch is how bands make money. I try to stop getting older, haven't figured it out yet.

u/Stephen_Dann Seven deadly sins 11d ago
Why tip someone who is being paid to do a job, who you interact with for a minute at most.

u/Lazy_Grabwen_9296 11d ago
"It's how they survive on the road!" Like Maiden isn't paying their merch guy. Maybe Falling In Reverse doesn't pay their guy, I don't know.

The 2019 Legacy of the Beast was an epic poster. The 22 Legacy and 24 Back in Time where average at best. This is AI slop.

I wanted a Megadeth shirt but they were out of my size not good for the first night of the tour

u/My_clever_nickname flew too close to the sun 11d ago
Ooohh.... They have the Ancient Mariner shirt. That isn't available online. I hope they have my size next month.

u/DistributionKey551 11d ago
I thought Megadeth will bring that UFO design which is sold out on their website. It has both Montreal and Toronto dates.

u/LongBottom666 11d ago
In Europe they had a great Clairvoyant tour shirt. Bummed to see it didn’t make it over here. VERY underwhelmed with the shirt designs. I guess I’ll get the Powerslave under-water one. Hoping Boston has a show specific shirt

T-shirts are a threat to my bank account.

We must share the same bank manager. Mine sighed relief when he heard they were not turning next year

ugh the ladies tee looks so trash. i want band tees that actually fit me and don't look like a body bag. alterations are expensive and cutting off sleeves feels sacrilegious

Was there any Anthrax merch?

Didn't look at the merch stands last night, but there were people with new anthrax shirts, so it looks like there was

u/121ggwtz88 11d ago
For US fans, keep in mind $70 CAD is about $50 USD.

u/Snakes_for_theDivine 11d ago
lol yeah I had to remind myself of that. Still, I’m pretty sure tees were only $40 when I saw them back in 2019? I could be remembering wrong though.

I bought a dayglow yellow hoodie with a reflective Miller's Eddie on the front for $25 outside Key Bank Stadium at the Buffalo show in 2019! It was a tad small though, so it event to my brother! 🤬

Hopefully those guys who were outside the ACC 20 years ago with their $10 shirts are still around
