If you click on the 'D' in "BUBS' CONCES5ION STAND", Homestar Runner will run up to Bubs' and do the short dance he did in Lookin at a Thing in a Bag, then leave. In the winter theme, Homestar Runner wears his hat from The Best Decemberween Ever.

Flash Scenes

• After buying something, you'll be taken to one of several short Store Thank You Messages.
• When you look at your shopping cart, various items will randomly generate small flash scenes with text on the page, with links to other popular items:
  • Strong Bad standing alone with a "GARBAGE SALE" sign.

    STRONG BAD: Oh yeah?! You think that stuff is so great? Well, check out this other crap!!

  • Flicking the lightswitch, with a glowstick:

    THE CHEAT: They told me to tell you that you'd also like these things. Meh.

  • Sitting at the concession stand:

    BUBS: If you like that stuff, check this junk out!

  • Trogdor chasing a peasant, both drawn in pixel art.

    TROGDOR: This other stuf'll really burninate your cottage, peasant.

  • Running in place:

    HOMESTAR: Oh hello. Umm... you forgot to buy this other stuff that you like.

Other Places To Buy

Local Business Area Stores

According to this page, independent comic book, music/video, and other specialty shops now have an opportunity to sell H*R merchandise (The Brothers Chaps say that they must never have a sale on the products or have the prices lower than TBC have them marked, to keep sales good). Find them with the store locator.

Froogle Search

If you search for Homestar Runner at Froogle, you can see H*R products being sold at various other stores.

Magazines

Homestar merchandise also turns up in the occasional issue of Previews Magazine (limited on-line version can be seen here), which lists upcoming items available for purchase through local comic stores.

Comic Cons

Merchandise was available for sale at Comic Conventions and shows around the country throughout 2005. The Homestar Runner booth was staffed by Strong Dad and The Mother Chaps. Those who attended had a chance to win door prizes consisting of autographed merchandise. Freebies were included within every purchase.

DragonCon

Merchandise was also sold at booth #101 in the Exhibitor's Hall for all 4 days of DragonCon in Atlanta, Georgia. The Homestar Runner booth was staffed by the Brothers Chaps, the Family Chaps, and other members of the Homestar crew.

This location was parodied in the short toon TrogdorCon '97.

Fun Facts

Trivia

• From left to right, the T-shirts play the notes A, B, C-sharp, D-sharp, G-sharp, A-sharp, C, C-sharp, D-sharp, E, and F-sharp. You play songs by moving your mouse over shirts.
• While loading the musical shirt selection, a message flashes, reading "loading shirtfun".
• While loading a "Thank-you" message, a loading screen appears reading "load 'er up".
• The Kick The Cheat plush toy was not available for purchase for a five-month period beginning 12 April 2005.

Goofs

• On the Store Locator map, Wisconsin is spelled "Wisonsin"
• On the Store Locator map, the links for Alberta and British Colombia are backwards; clicking Alberta references an anchor labeled "#BC", while clicking British Colombia references "#ALB". Also, the Nebraska link doesn't work.
• The Flash file with the T-shirts does not include Trogdor Lite, The Cheat - Navy Blue, Li'l Brudder, or Strong Sad. However, it does include a discontinued item: The Cheat - Red.

Inside References

• The Store Locator on the new store features The United States and Canada in white underwear, a reference to weird dream.
• The store's footer at the bottom of the store is Bubs' "checkitout" dance from Lookin at a Thing in a Bag.
• The "GARBAGE SALE" sign with the "B" crossed out is a reference to garage sale.
• "Support the Municipality!" is a reference to an Easter egg in the email disconnected.

Real-World References

• "Wide-Mart and Lackluster Video and Music," mentioned in Retail Opportunities, are Wal-Mart and Blockbuster Video takeoffs.
• Under the "T-Shirts!!" section, it reads "Grab an ice cold "H STAR R" or a great tasting "HOMESTAR LITE" A new twist on some old favorites! (They're even better than Coke with lime!)". Coke with lime is a new flavor of Coca-Cola with the catchphrase "a little twist on a great thing".
• The "Trogdor High-Score Club" patch may be a takeoff of the old Activision club patches. If you sent them a picture of a high score on a game, they would send you a club patch.
