I would really like to see some more apparel choices from Astro. I have been checking and checking, there have been the same handful of shirts there for a while now. They are decent but I am sure you guys can make some newer and better ones.

But not even just Clothes, what about things like mouse pads or cups and mugs... Things like that are the money makers when you are starting a brand. And astro can easily be a brand, I just think you guys need some more marketing.

it would be nice but then again it's a fine line to tread as Astro have a feeling about them at the moment that shoes they are a serious company who concentrate their full attention on making fine products, when a company invests to much time into marketing "money makers" products they can lose some of that original appeal and become somewhat faceless.

I hate to bring it up but Bungie is on this road, many problems with their games and more and more things coming out from them such as merchandise and things that seem a bit gimmicky and designed to bring in revenue.

It distances a company from their fans.

But if done right and main focus is still put on the product and not so much on the what should generally be a side project of merchandise a good company like astro can pull it off.
