Naruto gear! Is it worth it?

Welcome my fellow naruto fans, this is a post about my opion on naruto gear and giving you a heads up.

Hello, first off i would like to say on why i started this topic, i was browsing threw the mall with my pals. When i came across the local Hot topic i went in.(Favorite store btw)Seeing Naruto clothes and gear i was excited to see they caried these stuff. I saw gloves that Kakashi wore and as a huge Kakashi fan i bough them, not only that but i bought the headband that naruto wears the symbol of the ninja. My total came up 38.00. It burnt a hole in my wallet.(I'd figure this would bite me in the ass later)I brought home the two purchased naruto stuff!
i put on my gloves and they were comfy to wear i was glad i made that purchase. But when i put on my Headgear 2 bolts both front and back fell off

AND I WAS FURIOUS!

Having such shaggy carpet it was a PAIN in the ass to find, so my recommendation on The Kakashi gloves are good you should buy it at
http://www.Naruto.com or get it at you're local hot topic.
But for the head gear i would not recommend.(either that or i got a crappy pair)

You may also post opions on other Naruto gear! So that in the near future i can look up opens on this thread, and see if other naruto gear are worth a purchase!

Thanks for you're time!

Eh, seems to me like it was just the one that may have had the flaw. My friend has the headband and he wears it around religiously, and it keeps up just fine.
I bought the sweatband, and am hoping to pick up the fingerless gloves, but anything else is a little too otaku for my liking.

You're friend seems like my kinda guy i wear my Kakashi gloves around religiously now and the headband, but i have to had a pin threw one of the holes to keep it in tact. The pin sorta belnds in with the metal so im all good.

If you got it at Hot Topic, they're really good at replacing stuff. I'd taken back tons of hoodies and exchanged them (I took my Samurai Champloo hoodie back twice because the material was crap, only to realize it wasn't Hot Topics fault, just the manufacturer). If you take it back, with the original receipt, given you still have it, I'm positive they'll exchange it for ya.

Even stuff that you've already torn out of a package? I mean my headgear is already busted ,I really dont think they would replace a broken one, would they?

Yup, The Samurai Champloo hoodie I got ripped, and they replaced it, twice. As long as you have the original receipt and let them know that it happened right when you opened the package, your as good as gold.

Yep, just make sure you have your receipt, as I'm not sure if they'll take it in if you just bring the headband. Glad I could help.

Haha, I'm sure all the hardcore punx in there would love to hear a nice, heart-wrenching story of the lack of labor in your purchased materials. They may even throw in a studded belt

Man, I'd like to know where they pulled the slurpie from. Unless your Hot Topic is different from mine, they don't usually serve food...

Only 38.00? every time i go there i spend well over 250.00, and i think its a given that the headband was gonna be crappy, it apears that the sweat shop kids were lazzy that day
