Got my shirts today... AND I AM PISSED OFF.
Stormster picked them up for me since I was at work. I ordered 3XLs (because the measurements for them posted matched mine). Then Stormster tells me that Skrabs told him there was a problem with the printer (Stormster couldn't remember what), so I got 2XL's instead.
Now I knew the 3XL's would fit me since I saw their measurements. But instead, because of the printer, I got a bunch of 2XL' that are UNWEARABLE FOR ME. This will probably be the only time I'll ever see Maiden (considering how old they're getting), I spent $70+ to get something I can wear to the concert and after to commemorate the concert AND be identified as part of a specific group, and what do I get?
Shirts I can't even wear. And with so little time left, there is NO WAY I can get a Maiden shirt in my size with such little time left before the Sydney concert.
My gripe IS NOT with you, Skrabs. But... I am so immensely pissed off that words fail me at this moment. Now what the hell am I going to do!? I have been completely F**ked over. Everyone else has at least gotten something they can at least wear. OMG I AM SO PISSED OFF.
EDIT: Since I ordered 3XL, and didn't get, and seems like I won't be able to get it, aren't I (or at least you) at least entitled to some sort of refund? Becuase if this situation can't be remedied, I want my goddamn money back.

What markets exactly? Give me more details, I'm desperate.
Remember, I am a 3XL AMERICAN size. In AUS size, I'm a 4, more likely 5 XL. Would these markets you speak of carry those sizes? I doubt it.
EDIT: If I can somehow get these BDU shirts in MY SIZE, AFTER the concert, I will be appeased. Although I would like to wear them to the concert, since it looks like I'm shit out of luck, I could conceivably settle for getting them in the CORRECT size afterwards. As long as I have it to say "Yeah, I'm part of an elite group. I WAS THERE".

Whenever I've been to music stores, I've checked the sizes of their shirts. I've even done so with the obviously counterfeit ones I've seen sold by ethnics at the markets. Largest size I have ever seen a Maiden shirt in Sydney was an XL. Nothing more. Remember, I'm a AUS 5XL. I... am.... SOOO angry.. I have been looking forward ot these for ages. I spent all day at work today thinking about getting them. I've never been able to find metal shirts in my size, this was going to be my first. And my dreams have been torn away from me. I am on the verge of tears, here. |

Now I am in tears... but out of happiness. I come here to vent my rage over the situation, and within half an hour I have 2 people trying to come to my rescue. One says they'll look around Melbourne for me, and one goes to the trouble to track down a local printer. I am honestly, very deeply touched.
Be fore-warned, when it comes to Australian sizes, I am a 5XL. Believe me, I've tried AUS 4X's, and 5X is my size. Damn I gotta run my ass around the block a few times.
In the meantime, I'll try wearing one of these 2XL's around the house, try to stretch it out. But I don't have much hope in it working too well.
Honestly, Skrabs, Wrathchild, you are F**king champions.
