Just answered the pop up online poll ingame and wanted to expand on my answer and perhaps hear what others would like. I'd like to see more choice, right now I need a new coffee mug but I'm making do until either HTC sell AH coffee mugs or wait till my next visit to a museum and buy myself something plane related. I'd also buy a pint glass if one was made available if only to sit and sup my John Smiths extra smooth over my mic and make my squad mates jealous who all know Brit beer is the best beer :p
-
Pint glass. great idea, My prize glass is one from the last Rugby World Cup. Holds 2 Pints :D an AH one would definately go on my list.

Coffee cup large size and a Beer Mug would be suitable.
Also......they do great artwork! Why not some artwork?
We need an Aces High Desktop and Screen Saver!

YYYYYYYUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMM MMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

A friendly word of advice from me, then...
When you have a girl over, dont offer her a drink in an AH glass :).
I answered that I'm not interrested in AH merchandise... when you buy it, I think you are officially passing the line between "AH is just a game, nothing more nothing less" and something very very scary :).
-
LOL Keez my missus already thinks I'm crazy and her and the kids often chuckle at me talking over voice comms :) I just need a good coffee cup and serious research would need to be done to ensure that a wide variety of biscuits fit into the mug for dunking purposes! If there is one thing I hate is getting crumbs on my desktop having to break biscuits in half to get them into my coffe mug :)
I wonder if HTC would take it further as Hajo suggests, prints and perhaps WW2 related video's, DVD's and CD's. Maybe even hardware like approved headsets for use with AHVoice, joysticks etc?

If they offered a pint glass, we'd have to make sure it was a proper English pint (20 oz.) and not an American pint (16 oz.) :D oooops, nearly ;)

Aces High thongs.

I agree on the coffee cup, that I would buy.
-
my vote is for the beer cup.
Who drinks coffee while they play AH?
-
Rather than a beer mug, I'd like a big glass for my Guinness.
MRPLUTO

Aces High boxer briefs.
With "HO Baby!!!!" on the front (show a FW190A5 with guns blazing).
With "CHECK SIX" emblazoned on the butt (show a pilot peering over his shoulder with a look of terror on his face).

The horror.... The horror....

I'd like to see collectible quality scale models of Aces High aircraft and ground vehicles such as the terrific Matchbox 1/72 metal P-51, F-4U, Spit, Hellcat, P-40, and P-38.
-
Maybe some frilly leather panties for the Luftwobbles.

If you don't mind assembling and painting yourself, then you can get most of the Aces High aircraft from the Airfix and Heller collections. Airfix used to produce "Special Edition" 1/72 kits for Pips Priller, Adolph Galland, William McCampbell, and Roger Hedrick's aircraft. I know Hasagawa makes kits for George Preddy's P-51D and Thomas Maguire's P-38. Heller carries a Hellcat kit and Wildcat kit to matches the ones in Aces High.

I'd buy the obvious: a set of silver pilot's wings, but whereas some wings have specialty markings (a balloon to indicate a balloon pilot, for example), I'd like to see a set of silver wings with either a PC monitor and keyboard, or a joystick on them, or even just the Aces High logo suitable for pinning on a leather flight jacket.
-
AH pilot's wings and pint glasses... I'd buy those for sure. While pilot's wings would be cool, pint glasses would be a necessity.

That would be cool.

These are all good suggestions.
For people in my neck of the woods I would also like to see a AH gunrack for my pick-em-up truck, a nice chrome or silver AH spitoon, a pair of Justin (TM) cowboy boots with the AH logo, and AH longsleeve western shirts. :)
Seriously, I too like the idea of the 1/72nd scale models and coffee mugs.
-
Gatso - I can hold about 8 pints. Many more, and I start to develop a strong affinity for the ground. ;)

MarkAt, don't forget the Ace's High silver belt buckle, 15- or 17-inch.

Tamiya makes a F4U-1D Corsair in 1/48 with the AH paint scheme. Here's a link: http://www.ehobbies.com/mo-tam-60752.html
The description says its 1/72 but I believe that's an error. Its actually 1/48 scale.

I found a little bitty scale Corgi Pony in full "Cripes Amighty" livery. Its awful detailed for itty bitty scale. Got it at wally world for a dollar two ninety eight. ($3.50)

Yeah, thats about my limit on a Friday night type scenario. Usually limit myself to 3 or so on weeknights, Beer glass/mug seems like a popular idea doesn't it. I wonder why? ;)
I can eat 14 Wheetabix though :p :D
I really like gofasters idea of a pin badge or set of wings too. Shows your support without being overtly 'in your face' like the T-shirt is. (I'm still coming to terms with my dweeb status :D, I don't like to advertise too much) ) Something like this in chrome, maybe a limited edition silver/gold plated one could be made for winning a future competition?
Gatso
(something like this maybe?)
-
I love the pint mug idea, etched or silk screened, they would used with pride, and shared with few.
Psyco
-
Something similar to these products would be great.
