Lol, what a rip off. I;ve played with one of my blues for two days and the ".org" is already completely gone.

Aye the logos don't last long.

Hence why I'll try and only use a handful. I've got enough blues to last me anyway.

yeah, im keeping some of these aside, so as to keep the logos and such in tact as long as possible.

I wasn't gonna say it because I didn't want to sound like a killjoy when I haven't bought any of the shortscale picks, but the tortises on those tortex picks can be gone in as little as an hour of playtime depending on how dry/sweaty your hands are.

You will still be able to lol faintly in certain lights though, holding it up to your face.

My purchases are mainly as

1) case candy for pedals I sell
2) green picks to use because I'm out of green picks pretty much
3) one of each colour to frame

Yeah when I first thought of it, and in much the same way as the EA thread the idea was stolen from, it was mostly a way to get hold of a lot of picks. I quite like the turtle logo on the stock ones, but if you're ordering a hundred or so you may as well get your own logo. I think for most people these worked out at 30p a plectrum or so, the standard tortext types are now 70p in my local shop (evil Scottish cunt shop). You can probably buy standard ones in bulk, say a pack of 72, for less than these, but there wouldn't be a lot in it.

If I'm honest, I'm not that bothered about the logos. All of my current dunlop picks have no logo left on them. It's cool to have these but really I'm more looking forward to having 25 of each of the colours I use most. Trying to find my one blue or one purple when I want to use it is a bit of a bastard.

I'm buying cigars in Buffalo so Ends and I can sit around saying 'I love it when a plan comes together' and tossing plectrums up in the air between each other like guys in films do when they give a quarter to someone who needs to call their old man who they were previously too stubborn to call.

It looks like Mr T's tattoo says Mr J in that pic. I wouldn't say that to his face though.
