If you eat, sleep, breathe, and eat Crossy Road (Free) (Well, eat chickens, I guess) and want to proudly display your Crossy Road love to the world in the form of an internationally shipped T-shirt, guess what? Today is your lucky day. Hipster Whale just launched the Crossy Road store, throwing their hat into the ring of one more popular iOS game taking a crack at merchandising.
The cool part about their store (and what usually sucks in writing stories like these) is they’re shipping for free to 190 different countries. Usually this news is framed around a sad trombone for anyone who lives outside of the USA. Not today! Adult-sized shirts will set you back £16.99 which with today’s exchange rates is about $27, which would buy you an awful lot of Crossy Road unlocks instead.
But, if you can’t live without an Emo Goose t-shirt, or any of the other Crossy Road swag on their store, it’s the perfect time to go wild. Personally, I’m just a little disappointed that the release of Crossy Road knockoffs seem to have subsided a little bit, as it was really fun telling developers to “Just make Crossy Road, JEEZ."
C’est la vie.
Will take a look right after I go top up on my new Anker charger! ;)
Sounds cool. I'll check it out, although I live in the UK and I guess most of the 'deals' be US only (understandably- I don't expect companies to offer deals internationally).
Quick question. This may or may not be the right place to ask, but endeavours like this made me think of your Patreon. If I decide to become a TA Patron, can I increase my Patron donation or am I stuck at whatever I first pledge?
Yeah you can go up or down whenever you feel like it. Patreon bills at the beginning of the month, so whenever you're locked in at on the first is what you get charged for.
Cool. Thanks for the reply.
Also, StackSocial are pretty good with international stuff. I'm also in the UK, and have bought various things on their deals. Just check the shipping terms to see on an item by item basis.
Ooooh... Interesting. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out then. I mostly use the TA app rather than the desktop website- is there going to be a way that the app updates/notifies when there's a deal?
I'd say it's unlikely as the app seems to be on indefinite hold until an iOS update finally breaks it. Makes me sad, as I use the app on a daily basis. But I know the guys were half worried whether it would even get approved again if it were updated (all the gumf about competing marketplaces, curation of apps outside of the App Store control, etc). Plus I think at this point it would be a BIG job, basically starting again.
Yeah that's a scary notion because I access TA via app 99.9% of the time.
Yeah I'm the same, and I miss some of the nuances of the more recent iOS's. Swipe to go back is something I do out of habit all the time... then realise it doesn't do anything.
+1 for the app being how I access the site every day. I hope it survives.
Ditto. Same with the Appshopper app. It's so annoying that Apple doesn't do a decent job of curating their own store's apps, but nobody else is allowed to either.
Oh know... I'm a total sucker for a good deal! Still, at least I'll be helping out you guys :-)
Interesting! I'll definitely buy stuff (if the shipping to Canada doesn't cause me too much rage)!!!
P.S. The Anker adapter that cost $20 on US Amazon (and won't ship to Canada) costs $60 on Canadian Amazon!!! I got one anyhow cause I needed it. But $$$$$$$!!!!
Available for UK?
See iAjent above. Some things will ship internationally, but not everything. Best bet is just to check the shipping details and hope that if you see something you really want, that it's UK as well!
NICE
Good plan. Some $ for you chaps and hopefully some deals for us. I bought the 6 port Anker charger based on your recommendation (indeed it arrives today).
... Also I hope Hawaii is counted in domestic shipping :)
Where's the freebies? :P
Got a nice discount on BackBlaze from them before.
Hyped!!
Much appreciated. That's a win win for all. Thx
Wish there was a rating system... or maybe there is... it's just too new?
Thanks for mentioning the kickback up front.
I've always found TA very good at transparency. Only makes me trust you guys even more.
I've bought numerous things from StackSocial. They have some great deals. Just be careful of items like Lightning cables (make sure they are Apple certified, I've gotten some duds). Also, they run really great deals on VPN services. Be sure to Google specific ones to see how good they are. Some are great and reliable, some are garbage. Also, StackSocial is very Mac oriented. If you run Windows, make sure classes etc aren't Mac-only.
