Only way to get Bolt Thrower shirts and merchandise in general is to go to a Bolt Thrower gig.

Really? Wow, This is not good. I will probably never be seeing Bolt Thrower live, unfortunatly.
What about bootlegs? Are there any nice ones floating out there? |

Some guy on Ebay has been consistently selling their shirts from Maryland Deathfest for $65 (which explains precisely why I didn't get a shirt despite standing in line for a fucking hour, so Mr. Giant Box Of $65 Shirts can lick me.)
A few years ago there were quite a few BT bootleg shirts on Ebay and elsewhere, but it seems like no one has them anymore -- maybe the band and/or label got involved? I still see bootleg patches pretty often, though.
Unless you want to pay a lot or know someone who does screenprinting, trading is probably your best bet.

Thanks. I'v seen a lot of people with a black & white "In Battle There Is No Law" shirt (no packprint). Looks like a bootleg to me. Does anyone know where they came from? |

Pretty sure either Punk Stuff or Eat Death sold that shirt a couple years ago... if not, it must have been a similar bootleg-shirt place. These shirts were all over Ebay as well.
I have an IBTiNL shirt with a backprint (skull + old logo) I bought off Ebay in 2000 or so... probably also a bootleg of some kind, but it's hard to tell.

| I see I'm not the only one who would like a Bolt Thrower shirt. I keep getting out bid for the MDF shirt that is up on Ebay. |

The line at MDF for BT shirts was INSANELY long!
Some guy I know stood in line for nearly an hour and he was barely half ways.
First day they completely sold out of their merch/shirts.
I guess they had to get some new printed really fast, as the next day they were available again. Had a cool design from what I remember.
It was a reprint from an old design. 'Realm of Chaos' era I think. .
The In Battle.. shirt is easily to get. Total bootleg, with no backprint.
Last I remembered the BT site stated there will be merch coming soon, but it never happened.
So as someone mentioned, your best bet to get BT merch is at a live gig.

yes. a friend of mine got a distro with bt bootleg shirts (those in the battle... ones), one day he received a sue threat by their lawyer.
they asked him:
- to stop selling bt bootleg shirts
- all profit made with the shirts
- to send them all his remaining shirts stock

Wow. That's heavy.
I wouldn't have thought BT to get worked up like that.
It's bound to happen anyways. You don't release any merch/material for some years- you're bound to get bootlegged.
Anyone know any other bands taking similar type of action like that?

| Wow. Metal Blade printed some Honour Valour Pride shirts when that was released, though the quality was pretty poor and I didn't get one. The store was charging $60 for the l/s as well! |

I remember seeing David Blomqvist buying a Mercyful Fate store at MDF 06. The same store which was selling a nice Dismember bootleg shirt. Maybe it bothers some, maybe others don't care. I wonder if Hells Headbangers ever get any complaints? They're sure to given the amount of bootlegs they produce. |
