Did any of you all attend outside PP and get one of these Prince Memorabilia in purple gift boxes on 4/23/2016?

It sure seems strange to me something that elaborate could be put together in 48 hours after his demise or gone to the pearly gates??? (As if pre-planned)

Of course It couldn't possibly just be a nice gesture for grieving fans because they just had loads of that stuff clogging up a storeroom somewhere?

Leftover stock: these were the purple gift boxes sold (for around $100 as I recall) through the website in 2004 which included the World Tour 2003 tee-shirt and tour book, Prince in Hawaii hardcover book and Controversy (Live in Hawaii) single.

In at least some cases, it would appear, alternative items were included when handed out at Paisley Park.

A nice gesture for grieving fans surely was nice. But so quickly prepared as someone who was ill for awhile and the relative knew was going to expire like on hospice. However, I guess they can throw something together so quick.

BS. Tyka claimed (afterwards) that she knew he was dying because he shared the "profile in the moon" image with her. So she went out and bought new earrings.
That doesn't sound a bit sane.

BTW, the Estate offered these boxes (with the "Hawaii") contents a couple of years ago and I was able to get one. Trust me, that t-shirt had been folded for over 20 years inside that box.

Stop with the conspiracy attempts.

Your images are so huge that they are being modified weirdly on devices. On my PC, they are over-sized.

Some of those boxes also contained the High CD single and other tourbooks and t shirts and CDs.

Glad I made the thread though for learning a lot from you all.

Would one of you all post the full t-shirt unfolded to see what it looks like front and back?
