As some of you may or may not have seen, SAGA made some board shorts that we thought were extra limited edition, i.e. not for the public. These shorts were on their site a few days ago. But i went on their site tonight, and the store, and I saw they released at least two pairs of these. Who has them! This would be an ultimate claim, I'm pretty jealous cause they are sick.

Also, who got the first ten for ordering the shirts?

$70 was far too much to spend on board shorts.  Sorry, I could understand $40, but $70 is outrageous.

you guys are aware that companies like o'niell, quicksilver, billabong, volcom,etc all charge up to $80.00 for certain pairs of boardshorts, right? and quailty t shirts can cost up to $40.00....saga's prices are absolutely justified, especially since their stuff is all limited production...the less product being made, the more the producer has to charge.  please stop complaining about saga's prices.  if you think they are outrageous, even though they arent, dont buy their stuff. its that simple.

So do you think that 6 stickers are worth $10 plus $2 shipping?

not at all. that is steep, but im talking mainly about the clothes.  and as for the stickers, i bet they are still selling, so saga is gonna think that the price is ok...and as i said before, if you dont like the prices, dont buy their stuff.  im sorry for sounding like a d-bag but im just getting tired of everyone complaining about prices

Regardless how much it costs, I guarantee they'll sell out of it. Because little parents will always give their little kids money, and those little kids will always love Saga.

30$ is alittle high for a shirt but when it comes down to it unless you shop at walmart most shirts are 20+ and 70$ for a limited run pair of shorts sounds like a reasonable price if you really want to have them.

The sticker packs are $10, because you get 6 big stickers. 3-7"x7" Dripping Angus stickers and 3-8" long logo text sticks. We made sticker packs, because of endless amounts of SASE filled with loose cash and endless emails demading them. Instead of you getting random loose stickers around the office this is a way for us to get you a legit kit of larger stickers each time and for us to track everything more closely.

^ HANUS quiksilver board shorts for 60 onsale for 47

i want some shorts, maybe they will go on sale? ill just have to wait till november to rock em and be jealous every time i see a pair.....if i ever see a pair because they are so limited.

and stickers, each sticker is 8 inches squared of di-cut material id imagine that being rather expensive, my saga stickers have stood up to some abuse. so they arent using cheap material.

i got a large palm tree shirt and the thing is big, it fits awesome, i have been missing shirt steeze for my whole life, all my shirts were free, ( now stained and tattered) but this one was well worth it. its size large and it fits me so well and its  like down to my upper thigh and im 5'10

Yes, but I would rather get a bunch of loose stickers in a SASE.  And no matter how big a sticker is, it is not worth that much. I am sure that many people are buying them because kids go crazy over Saga, but their mommy's are also probably buying them.  Don't get me wrong, I love your outerwear and that is reasonably priced, but $10 is alot of money, especially for 6 pieces of cut out vinyl.  IMO, you guys are taking after Oakley with their ridiculous sticker prices.  I remember when stickers were supposed to be free, and that was only about 2 years ago.

oakland butt pirates sticker on ebay. one of them, looks pretty corny. they want 12.49 fot the thing shipped. its essencially the same size as one angus. the choice is up to you.

welcome to hard times for buisnesses. i donno if you have all heard but its a recession and things arent free anymore. have you noticed that newschoolers had to start advertising for ufc, and some gay church shit and all kinds of crazynes.....i never used to have to wait to reply to a forum until the damn ad banner loaded.
