I agree with you quizzaciously, I don't want to put his face up on the wall, or on a t-shirt for that matter. The painting, and then to use it as a phone case, was... I didn't buy it. What I really like are hoodies (preferrably with zip) and t-shirts with nice, clean layout. No tacky wings or motorcyles...Again, look at the new Springsteen merch, it is so nice. I also have the LesPaul silver pendant, and still use it. 

Have already sent a mail to PCM, and they replied within a few hours. We can't expect anything to happen if we don't try  :)

I miss the baseball cap. I remember Shangri-La tour. The cap was great :)

To be fair, and knowing how much Mark cares about humility, I don't think that he seriously consider memorabilia at all. I would cringe like crazy to see a mug or a poster with my name (not a concert one though). I know he would even sign these lithographs in bulk, but I don't think he thinks about it any second. People want 'something', so he asks the management to give them 'something'. These things certainly is not a priority, as we can see by the glorious products they offer.

Isn't the track listing 95% identical to one put together by a forum member - "2019 Compilation - I Should Retire Tour", including the "oe oe's!"?

According to comments on Mark's social media, people loved it and already ordered a bunch. So something's wrong with AMIT, not with MK :lol

I'm always amazed by the people commenting on MK's Facebook page. There's no limit for lunacy that's for sure.

I follow the official Mk facebook page, the MK news page and MK fans worldwide -page, and the vast majority of the comments are negative. Only a few says things like "nice, but the prize..". This is the clearest "this is too expensive!" I have read from facebook fans.

The reply from PCM was "This is not a toy, it is handmade, it is a collecors item, we don't expect it to be for everyone" and so on. I didn't expect anything else. But, they replied. I said my opinion, they read it, and replied  :)  I appreciate that it is possible to communicate with them.

Nice reply, it's surely not something from everyone, but they should start thinking about doing something for everyone...

To be honest, I find this whole business of signature gutiars and stuff a bit strange. Yes, I'd love an affordable Squier with MK specs, but we'll never get it.

Why an artist would want a signature instrument? If the goal is to inspire people to play guitar, then an affordable version would be of great help. I never understood why someone, if he's an accomplished player, would want to buy an expensive professional instrument built with someone else's specs in mind, it doesn't make any sense. If anything, the player who can justify buying a professional instrument might as well make a signature guitar for himself. Hell, even myself, I have a guitar that I'd make my signature instrument — Squier Mini Strat, I'm just obsessed with the little thing, I love it so much and take it everywhere.

And now, oh my god, we have a signature toy replica of a signature guitar, it blows my mind on so many levels. But whatever, people will buy it anyway as jbaent said.
