Question rare glee merch??

i’m kind of obsessed with all of the merch they made at the height of glee’s popularity, do any of y’all have any rare or interesting merch items? or anything that isn’t CDs/DVDs?

I recently just started collecting Glee merch myself at the start of this year!
I have an official merch Glee backpack, still with its original Glee tag!

What I'm most passionate about in my Glee collecting is magazines. Any magazine that I can find that has even the slightest mention of Glee anywhere in it I'll buy. I have about 100 magazines right now, ranging from a variety of countries/languages (Including one from Slovakia)

EDIT: what the hell was I on about in my original comment. I only have 1 Glee backpack lmao I saw listings for others, I forgot I didn't actually buy them lol. So that has been corrected now in the comment.

That's awesome, collecting magazines sounds like a fun challenge! It must be cool to discover different features on Glee in all those issues.

u/Mythicali-Gleek 206: The room where it happens. 3d ago

Absolutely! I'm very proud of my collection! It is definitely a challenge to find some, mostly the ones that don't mention Glee anywhere on the cover. With those I just have to hope that whoever posts a listing of it also mentions that it features Glee inside.

A few of my magazines are what I'm calling Glee-adjacent, such as a copy of Entertainment Weekly talking about The Assassination of Gianni Versace (Darren Criss), and a copy of Fangoria talking about The Restoration At Grayson Manor (Chris Colfer), but aside from a few exceptions, all the magazines are specially Glee-related.
I absolutely love getting international ones.

Okay wait this magazine collection is SOOOOO cool, I’d love if you shared it one day here

Thank you! I do intend to post a picture of them all eventually! I have posted a few pics of articles in some comments if it's related to the post topic.

Here's a stack of probably I'd say... maybe 65%-70% of what I currently own. That entire stack is just Glee (or Glee adjacent) magazines from the very bottom to the very top of the shelf. You can't see 'em but there's also a few small ones tucked into the side next to 'em too. Right now I have 3 different stacks of Glee magazines (as clearly I've run out of space on the shelf they started on)

The ones with blue sticky notes means that Glee is not mentioned anywhere on the cover, so I use those to remember why I have that seemingly-random magazine.

I used to have a shirt that said "The √4 is rainbows". I wish I still had it or could find another one.

It was available only in the uk, but the glee annual. Might not be that expensive though.
