14 Fallout items, including the awesome NCR shirt.

I wonder, what changed in Bethesda's famously skeptical approach to merchandise and monetizing their franchise(s)?

Pretty cool, though the Vault 101 sneakers are a bit much.

What a waste of money and it all looks horrible except for the NCR shirt. The vault boy one would look better if it was smaller.

I saw they opened a store, but didn't see the Fallout stuff.

Damn that stuff is way over-prized!!!!!!! (speaking of the Hoodies and the messenger bag)

And I agree Tagaziel, I wonder if the economical slump is being felt at Bethesday ;)

Waste of money on our part or Bethesda's part. I mean plenty of people are going to eat this up, especially once Fallout 4 is announced.

I also may get the NCR shirt. :D

Edit: just noticed this, but the NCR is the only faction related item there, coincidence, maybe maybe not.

So there's seven male T-shirts and only two female? Way to go, Bethesda. At least it won't be a problem with hoodies and things like that.

But yay! I love merchandise, they should have done it much sooner!

Ditto.
(Except for the Vault-Tec bag :); and I think it would have been better if they had DarkHorse actually illustrate a Grognac #1 limited edition, instead of a shirt).

If that hoodie was Vault 13 I'd buy it. I don't know why they wouldn't use the classic V13 over 101. And the NCR shirt is still pretty awesome.

Interesting. I spent $60 or so to get my NCR shirt back in the day when the devs handed them out and people sold them on Ebay. Its been on my wall for a long time now :D

They made Vault 101 and more people know of it.

I'm wondering if they have done some study or something because I really have no idea why the NCR shirt is there unless it is a fan favorite.

They went the opposite direction of what I suggested, how shocking. <_<
