Think Geek... they have a rather extensive collection of zombie items available for sale.

Enjoy!!!

I know that shop
Ordered me some stuff about 4 years ago. Only downside for me was that the box got shipped trough customs due to their DHL shipping and I got another 21% tax added to my total (including shipping!)
So I never ordered there again.

I have that plush zombie and the zombies were people too shirt

OUCH!!! That's a huge chunk of change!!!

Yeesh... Yeah, customs suck. This is why you need to have them label everything as "gifts" hehe. At least, that's how it worked when I was in China C.c

Unfortunatly the "gift" trick doesn't really work here anymore.
They put a limit of 50€ on it now and also, not all shops want to do that.
And if customs here think it's not a gift they just hold on to the package untill the customer starts looking for it. Basterds...

Ouch. I'm sorry. Ever think about getting a job with customs, then? Sneak your shipments by, and get in on the money making racket they've got going?

Yowza...yeah, customs sucks. I used to work computer sales, and for a while we just stopped shipping internationally altogether because of how much higher the price would be by the time a customer got their system through customs. Found out from my former boss that, should a company ever be caught marking merchandise as a gift, they can actually face some stiff penalties, but I never asked what, exactly, those penalties would be. I'd assume some sort of fine.

The money making racket is actualy the goverment

[atramagus]

My point entirely! :P
