I hope Europe places mean they ship to Estonia too, most places still think Estonia is USSR .....

I did not see any list of countries where they ship, hope I can order there too. Some stuff caught my interest.

Jeez, I was so excited for this and really want to get using it, but in light of this I'm pretty wary:

It has been a long time coming but the independent but officially recognised store for all things Sonic Merchandise related, SonicMerchandise.Com, has after a couple of false starts opened its doors officially to the public. The site, available in several languages and stocking everything from toys and keychains through to other licenced items from Tomy and Insert Coin looks very good and its nice to say that there IS a place where you can go for such things. They are also implimenting some form of reward scheme.

Before you start jumping for joy however, a note of caution as this is where we at SW last night (as we alluded to on Twitter) had to stop being pleased and instead raised our palm in the direction of our face. Because SonicMerchandise.com have made what is ironically a very traditional SEGA mistake whilst setting up their site.

At the time of writing the backend file tree is accessible, viewable and navigable.

Now, this is frankly so basic – especially for a website that handles money – that it somewhat beggars belief. Regardless, there are presently no privacy settings on the directory listing and you can have a nose around in the backend, in the admin set up folders… heck there's even an (albeit empty) install folder still there on the home directory. I'm not saying that all their financial transactions are available for view, I'm just saying that if someone wanted to hack it to bits they've can get a damn good idea of how to go about it.

Things like that don't exactly breed confidence and I certainly won't be handing over any card or personal details until such fundamentals are addressed and covered.

And we recommend you don't yet either.

Jeez, those prices. No thank you.

That said, pretty much every item on the site I'd want, I already have; bought locally, and cheaper.

Aren't the prices pretty much the same as you'd pay on the high-street, only now with shipping?

Couple of quid more. Before shipping. I don't get it, my high street isn't so far away I can't get some exercise for a light spot of consumer whorage.

Well, as a web developer...I like the design and I'm sure it took some time to make it look nice enough. So respect for that.

But yeah, the translations are just crappy G'translations and stuff is way too expensive...And no rest of the world either :v:

Yeah, SEGA were very particular about the design. I like that it has the same look as the official Sonic the Hedgehog site.

Not much on it right now.... Only the crappy Jazwares stuff as far as I know. I felt cheated out of 30$ for the two Super Sonics. :argh:
Waiting on actual statues, plushies and apparel.
Funny thing, I could've sworn I signed up in advance with my usual e-mail address, but it wasn't recognized so I just did it again and it worked.

BTW, US & Canada! What about us?
