Epic find

[Fairy-Possum]

Went to a book sale today (got some scientific journals) and decided to kill time in the local op shops after. I was looking for a good denim jacket to buy and stick patches on (might post a photo when it's finished) and saw something I can only describe as breathtakingly gorgeous. I knew that I needed her, so I got her (easiest $3 purchase ever)

I think I've used the next decades worth of luck, with finding her.



Sportacus detailing along the sides. A nice touch



It's official merch!


Although... possessor of mine, your name's Oliver, yes? Been to Victoria recently? Then again, you would never donate something like this ("this mailbox is mine~🎶").

All jokes aside, the bag was/is in incredible condition (as seen in the photos). It just needs a bit of a clean up, but it doesn't need elbowgrease.

I'll be starting tafe (technical and further education) soon and I'll require a bag... I was going to use my old Simpson's bag, but the LT bag is MIGHTY enticing (I just hope it's big enough. If not, I'll just use my Simpson's bag whilst being sad). I might be judged for it, but honestly? I don't care! I've been judged my whole life so I'm pretty tolerant of it now.

Green is my least favourite color and i would cherish that bag with me to the GRAVE.

Alll jokes aside, you are one of the most lucky people ON THIS FORUM. Aside from the dude who met Magnus while they were editing season 4 (then was outed for.. nvm). I've never seen official LazyTown merch in Australia - Sydney, where I live. My life's boring.

How does the inside look?

I know right? I also found it in a town with less then 15,000 people, so basically a country town. (Even luckier)

And what do you mean your life's boring? You live in Sydney! The most exciting thing where I live is the occasional car theft or kangaroo going down the road lol

And here. Pretty normal bag insides

WAAAAAAAAAAAAA

That never happens in Sydney. I meant my life is boring as a LazyTown fan in Australia, there hasn't been a live show here since 2011 or a DVD release since 2013

Wow that is a life-less bag on the insdie. But would love to have it still

Wow that’s an interesting bag. I wouldn’t be surprise if it’s from a show bag from those travelling carnivals. Those bags can normally carry a lot of stuff, so it should be fine for Tafe

[LazyPooky]

I like it very much. And so clean still..

There are other types of bags from that same time. Like this one.

Looks like one you'd see at Luna Park. And I'm hoping I won't need to take to much... year 7 bag syndrome is an awful condition lol

Man, a LT lunch box would be perfect...

I mean, not just AU. The series was finished over a decade ago. But yeah I get it lol

Watch me get clowned for bringing this to school shamelessly

I would literally go to the point of making my entire school schedule maths just go to this show and get that bag.

And watch the show, too.

And all my friends would be laughing at me jealous (laughing at me) for my swag (outdated) merch

LAZYTOWN MINI BASKETBALL

imagine getting dunked on by a guy with stephanie on his basketball

I’m guessing that forum post is from over 10 years ago. So the royal show is obviously not selling the show bag anymore by this point

I'm aware

Congrats! Great find. I would be too afraid to wear that in public (it's not my style anyway) but good on you if you can. I had this tote bag made but I've only used it once. It would be fun to meet another LT fan IRL, but I think the chances of meeting a confrontational hater is much higher. Anyway, there's something nice about having official merch from the show. I have a couple of LT CD's which works out because my car is pretty old and doesn't have a way to connect to my phone. I listen on my commute sometimes.

[chuft]

Ah yes, CD's in the car. Since a lot of the songs were not released (at least in the US) on CD at the time, some of us had to make our own CDs....

[possessor]

Those are nice

[boredjedi]

Nice. I think I remember those. Think it was around the time I was doing the image printable CDs. Not color just gray scale.

[chuft]

I doubt inkjets today could do that, since most people don't make CDs/DVDs any more. I still have those two.
