As before, JSR Direct had a killer 1 - 2 combo that will make the Street Fighter games of yesterday look like a retirement square dance. First, JSR Direct decided to have a sale on accessories. Second, they offered free shipping on one day, December 16, which meant the countdown to a money saving, stocking stuffer, under-the-tree bargain bonanza began. Note the list is arranged by price from least to greatest, as it is a HEAVY list of METAL!
First up is the least expensive item of the lot, a Robot Chicken sticker. The sole purpose of it's purchase, it's a damn good sticker for a damn good TV show.
Next up is the Blind Guardian wristband, for those days when you're going to shred in intercontinental distances.
Next up is the Swashbuckle flask, as pirates are known for transporting the rum to far off places, so should Metal fans.
The best part of this purchase is that now I have 2 sizes to choose from when it comes to flasks, in case the situation of alcohol transportation requires either size or stealth.
Belt buckles are known to be used by Metal Legions to enhance the statement of "THIS BAND ROCKS", and very few can match Kreators titan sized sound.
To continue the "Onslaught" of the previous Invasion of the Wicked Horde, we have 2 kickass shirts that missed the first boat to my house, but caught the second vessel leaving the JSR Direct port.
First up is Iced Earth's Overture of the Wicked shirt. As basic of a shirt as it is, I'll be the first to admit the impact is very Titanic.
It is only fitting to follow the shirt that is based on the EP with the full length album that followed it, Iced Earth's Framing Armageddon: Something Wicked Part 1 shirt.
Now, and to take a Napoleon Bonaparte quote, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake". The enemy in this case is "the price of the grand total". Typically, this enemy's ultimate goal is to hurt and/or kill your wallet, and in this sales case, the enemy has made an error by granting so much by allowing so little to compensate for it. And being the opportunistic General/Admiral/Air Marshall/some high ranking loon/etc in the military, I decided to purchase a hoodie with this bundle for the upcoming 2 hours of winter Miami is known for getting. Mind you, the hoodie is not part of this sale, but definitely worth mentioning.
The hoodie is Amon Amarth's Viking in Throne surrounded by wolves and skulls. If there ever was a throne fit for Metal Kings and Queens, this is it.
The best part about this hoodie is the details involved, as they are amazing and they used a good chunk of the space available.
