I asked them the Question and yes they replied

here it is...

Hi Sonia,

We're starting to send out the T-shirts this week. They will be
shipped via the USPS, and hopefully all those in the continental US
will have received their shirts by the end of next week. Overseas
orders will take a little longer, and delivery times may vary
depending of the postal system for each country.

They are very nice quality shirts though, and worth waiting for!

"NICE QUALITY" LOL

yea.

U guys are so lucky, I wish I could afford the membership, anyone that does not want their shirt can send it to me, I'll pay the shipping

If you have the album, why bother w/ the site? For a lousy t-shirt? You'd pay $77 for a t-shirt?! SRSLY?!?! There's nothing else you get on the site. There's a one song difference in the online and Target versions. Is that one song worth $77 to you? Hopefully not.

Oh..you mean you want to watch all the videos on there, that people have had problems with loading and playing? Well hey...if ya got it...drop it like it's hot.

I want to support Prince, and be the first to get those concert tix, and honestly can you put a dollar amount on art/love, music is his gift and I appreciate it; so yes one xtra song and a dope azz shirt iz worth it to me, maybe not 2 u
However I am a diva on a budget

Close2u said:

Prince is a diva on YOUR budget. Pony up....he needs new shoes.

Those shirts aren't "dope ass". It's a SHIRT, not imported Egyptian lace.

charge that to the game either u in or u out babe easy az that

Can't wait to start rockin my shirt when it comes!!!

ernestsewell said:

For me: no. But for a lot of Prince collectors: yes. Especially in uncompressed WAV format.

I have bought stuff like the Happy Feet soundtrack or Bright Lights, Big City to have one Prince song, but my limit is about $10-15.

Wow, I was just a bout to come on here and post that EXACT. SAME. E-MAIL. I think it's weird that they say the exact same thing to every person who has an inquiry. Well, I can't wait to be getting the tee.

Hey, wait one cotton t-shirt picking minute!!! Wasn't it said before that they were going to be "Boutique Quality"? Isn't "Nice Quality" from "Boutique Quality" like a down grade?

I'm just asking!

And when they arrive at the door, we all know it'll be downgraded even further to a more truthful "shit quality".

for funks sake-only Prince can turn a relatively easy task-send a package-into a freaking drama. Hype the albums and tours yeah-but for gods sake-now were getting t shirt hype. lol the next mail will be-get your tee's now-last time hell be on a t shirt-ever-ever.....

lol.....just watch Prince drop something on the new site that will be well worth the $77.

Hell, I'd BET $77 on something very dope appearing soon.

We're only in the 3rd month now, with 9 to go.

I said this before, but once the "momentum" (someone slammed me for that term) of LotusFlow3r CD is over, he'll do something on the site to drum up more interest for whatever is next, be it a tour or outtakes package or something.

He's not going to just sit around for the rest of 2009 doing nothing.

The "momentum" has been over!

Actually-the 'momentum' of all this started-was it around xmas-we got the initial lotus info-the site teaser-then the 4 tunes.I was one of the fools that sat up till 4am when-the pre-site site with the clouds appeared and-nothing else.....Luckily-the albums were great-BUT-for me and i see alot of others-the momentum from official sources has fizzled to say the least-and believe me-i hate saying this-ive liked most of the post 80's stuff-but Lotus is his best stuff for ages. Thats why to me-something don't seem right with this-and the tee shirts are the icing on it. Put bluntly-they don't seem to be arsed with it all.....

Militant said:

I *DID* bet $77 that he would do that. So far, the house is winning. And I'm not about to double down, LOL.

If he does make a comeback (how sad does that sound, but at this point, that's what you have to call it) and delivers on Lotu$flower, I'll take back everything critical I've said, apologize, and quit using the $ in Lotu$flower.

Considering that he chose to perform Somewhere Here On Earth as his final Leno performance, I might agree with you. He went all out creating a bar/jazz club setting for that performance - how hard would it have been to make a ballroom setting and perform "$"?

Seriously, 2 new albums of his own to promote, both with killer tracks and both less than 3 months since release date . . . and he chose to perform a track from Planet Earth?

It's sad, but it actually would've made more sense to perform something from 25 years ago than something from one year ago.

It's a year long membership and we're only 2 and a half months in. So far we've had 3 albums, a bunch of media, a t-shirt coming soon and access to almost every TV event he's performed on. I know the latter doesnt mean much to those of us in other areas, we've got a long time left and you know Prince is working on SOMETHING.

Militant said:

I've paid $77 for 3 albums, access to watch mostly previously-released stuff that Prince could take away at any moment, and no t-shirt.

If I thought Prince WAS working on something, I'd be more optimistic. And if you have any evidence that he is, please share it with us.

Lotu$flower going almost 60 days with NO update of any kind was not confidence-inspiring, to say the least.

And hell, if I'm going to bitch, I might as well get it all off my chest.

I have not been able to log in all day. The ticket comes up, but the log-in fields will not accept any typing. This has happened before. I wish I could say that when it happens, new stuff is being added, but that's not been the case in the past.

Second, why do I have to go through the log-in crap every single time, any way? How hard is it to have a "Keep me logged in" feature?

And speaking of that, should I be concerned there's no way to log OUT? Am I "active", even when I navigate away from the site? If so, is any of my account information potentially at risk of discovery?

How long is that self-denial going to last?

"It's only been 10 months, we still have two to go..."

Nosferatu said:

Knowing this bunch?

"It's only been 11 months, 29 days, 23 hours and 30 minutes, we still have 30 minutes to go..."

y'all are some cynical ass motherfuckers.

I paid $70 for the 3121 shirt that has the woman with lyrics tattooed on her back. It was only for sale for a limited time in Vegas and is made with a nice fabric, not like a t-shirt. I figured not too many people would shell out that much for a shirt, so that'll make it more rare!

Well, I do love "The Morning After" much better than C&C, but it ain't worth $77.

why is everyone giving prince such a hard time on this? It must take him freaking ages to wrap the parcels (i'm guessing over 100?), check the addresses from the computer, write the address out, lick the stamps. Plus take them to the mail...he's only small!

He's only one person - give him a break!
