Big support! The last (and only) time I remember the CS merch store opening I was still a kid and there was no way I would've convinced my parents to get me CS merch - but nowadays I'm an adult with my own finances >:) I would love to spend some money to support the site & get some fun merch in exchange. I'm probably most interested in stickers, charms, and enamel pins, but I'd honestly get excited by most anything.

I would love, love to see literally any pins and charms/keychains of CS pets. Imagine a linking acrylic charm of the rainbow mane litter.



Yes! Just something small like stickers would be awesome. Then if it goes well they can start introducing bigger stuff like shirts and plushies. We just want stickers!♡😂


i think the big reason CS doesn't bring it back is because theres no guarantee they could both sell products and make profit off the products. While stickers are fairly cheap, we do have to factor in all the manufacturing and shipping stuff too, and just how many people would be willing to buy the merchandise, etc. I think the main reason CS doesn't bring it back is because the merchandise is a bit risky for such a niche site. then again, maybe this thread just needs more traction to show how many people are truly interested in this. <33

Wajas, another pretty niche game site like this, also has pins on their Etsy store that seem to sell pretty well. I’d say it’s possible that CS merch will sell well! Especially considering everyone posting in this thread also wants it back.

Preorders are also an option, that way they aren’t overspending on overstock and are just manufacturing what’s being ordered.

I do hope it comes back sometime! I will definitely buy whatever I can if they ever bring it back!! My life won’t be complete until I own a sunback plush :lol:

^^^^
yes pre-orders!! maybe they could offer pre-orders but let everyone know that if they don’t reach a certain amount then they will be refunded since the demand for merch isn’t high enough?

this is definitely a reach, but i’d be willing to (especially if they are transparent with a possibility of merch not happening if not enough people pre-order? idk how this would work with refunding though)

    { they could definitely use Kickstarter! I see lots of projects there for items big and small-- stickers, pins, plushies, bags, clothes-- and it works from pretty much anywhere in the world. if the initial funding goal isn't met, the people who pledged aren't charged anything! I've gotten involved in well over a hundred Kickstarter projects, and I know way back at the beginning of FlightRising they had a Kickstarter. I wouldn't hesitate to help fund a Kickstarter for CS merch ♡
