Just recently started Lucha Underground a few episodes ago and was wondering, what are the medallions?

https://www.reddit.com/r/luchaunderground/comments/6x7hwh/ancient_aztec_medallions/?st=j7chet09&sh=46c8d13e

Basically they're like entry tokens to LU's version of the MITB match

Lads, anyone have a clue where's the best place to get Bullet Club t-shrits?

I'm looking at ProWrestlingTees, and they are charging me insane shipping.

I have a new sealed one from Japan, it's the Tekken variant and I got it at Sakura genesis. Japanese XL.

Yeah shipping on t-shirts fromProWrestlingTees is crazy.

I've always been meaning to get a BC t shirt but never got round to it, so I looked at the shipping on prowrestling tees after you said this and fup me their prices are ridiculous, even within US it's crap I can't remember ever seeing a place charging extra for each t shirt I mean if they're sealed in a bag how much more space/weight is it gonna take up

Think Colt Cabana charges around $15 for international postage.

They genuinely have to be cursed at this stage. Sickened for Mayo and all of their loyal supporters.

Mr.Nice Guy

Shame to see any team lose that game. It was a thriller.

Pentecost

It must be heartbreaking being from Mayo, they're so close but they just can't get the job done.

Necro

I'm not even from Mayo, but I'm gutted - but mainly cos I had a day off from work if they had won it! Heartbreaking for them, over and over again just never seem to be able to get across the line. Two years in a row now edged out by a point.

Angron

Would that Wrestling Mania place in Stephen's Green have Bullet Club shirts? Been a while since I've been in there, so I can't remember what t-shirts they stocked.

Lord TSC

They might, but if I'm honest, in previous experiences, they were super expensive. As if they were buying the stuff full whack themselves and then trying to turn a further profit on it....

Someone on Reddit recomended I check out An Post's Address Pal which gives you an address in America to ship to and then they ship it from there to your house cheaper. So checking out that route tonight.

Wouldn't recommend it, tbh. I haven't used it myself (I've used their UK service, but not their newer US one), but it hasn't been getting great reviews. Lost of people reporting being stung by hidden charges and mysterious customs and VAT add-ons

There's a thread about AddressPal here:

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057516584

Discussion of the problems with the US service begin around page 88

Couldn't tell you about the US version of AddressPal but I've been using the UK post-office-pickup for the last year, and it's been phenomenal. Never been hit with customs, worth noting most of my shopping has been on Amazon.co.uk. Only snag is the weight/size limit, which is usually grand. I had picture frames shipped which came packed in a MASSIVE cardbox so I was stung for the €25 charge but otherwise it's been fantastic.

Lemme know how the US version goes!

I was in there maybe 3weeks ago and I didn't see any.

There wouldn't be a customs charge for stuff coming from the UK Jayk, as the UK is {for the time being} in the EU. Free movement of goods and all that

Lord TSC

I realised today that...

I was being quoted 35 quid for 4 shirts, but I don't NEED the four. And when I removed two, guess what. The shipping halfed. They are just basically charging 9 dollars shipping per additional item. So dropped it down to two shirts (Cody one for me, and brother wants a Halloween one). So those are on the way now. Thanks for the help guys and gals


On a side note....first rejection letter back this evening from an agent
78 to go. :P

CastorTroy

At this point, Mayo and Dublin remind me of this video where Mayo is the kid, the other players are the rest of Ireland and Dublin is... well you can guess

Ah, I've never bought anything in there so I had no idea how pricey their stuff is. I've bought a few t-shirts from PWT, it works out cheaper for me than heading up to Dublin. Gotten a Bullet Club hoodie, BC x Tekken t-shirt, and a Zack Sabre Jr "This Wrestler Armbars Fascists" t-shirt.

Cherry_Cola

Should be noted that the PWTees quality is shocking compared to the legit Japanese ones. Have both and there's a significant difference in quality. They are pricey in Japan though at €35 each.

Sad to hear wasn't he only working up to recently ???

I remember they did a very good doc on him a few years ago on RTE. I think he sadly buried his son too

It will hard to find a replacement for his sporting knowledge

Lithium93_

There will never be a replacement for Jimmy Magee, the man was truly one of a kind.

So Google has bought HTC I wonder is this there attempt to build a rival to the iPhone.
