Isn’t it nice when things turn out well? From the Seibei blog:
So, it is with a happy heart that I tell you this: Hot Topic will not be reordering the shirt. They’re going to sell off the remaining units (it was in “test marketsâ€, so there are probably more Sandwich Dinosaurs in the world than Awesome Monsters), and then end it there, which is fine by me. With the number of stores they have, it would be hell of expensive to get all the shirts back and then just toss ‘em, so I can’t expect them to break their backs. All I ever wanted was for it to stop, and now it looks like it will.
He also went on to say that the guys at Hot Topic were great about the whole situation, and Goodie Two Sleeves too (I hope those of you calling them names feel appropriately embarrassed!). It is possible that the design could be picked up by another vendor after it is done at Hot Topic, but I guess that David (and what seems like a small army of internet-followers) will have to deal with that situation if it arises in the future, but hopefully for the moment David can stick to the important business of training his new feline interns.

Good for him, I wonder why they weren’t co-operating before and suddenly had a chance of heart though.
