Store Footer
The store footer was a small animation at the bottom of every store page. It featured Bubs at his concession stand, doing his "checkitout checkitout" dance from Lookin at a Thing in a Bag (but without sound). The animation changed throughout the day and year. If you clicked on the 'D' in "BUBS' CONCES5ION STAND", Homestar Runner would run in, do his part of the dance, and leave. In the winter theme, Homestar wore his hat from The Best Decemberween Ever.

Other Places To Buy
Local Business Area Stores
According to a former page on the Store, independent comic book, music/video, and other specialty shops would 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). They used to be found with the store locator.
Google Product Search
If you searched for Homestar Runner at Google Shopping (formerly Froogle, then Google Product Search), you could 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.

Following the Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People announcement, certain items of Strong Bad related merchandise were added to the Telltale Games online store.
