Been keeping an eye out for the USB chargers to come in stock.
Also very sad that the magnets & stickers have been gone for so long, especially for those of us who don't (even pre-Covid) get to hit a lot of the shows to swipe them from the booth.
just some ideas..
A network tech case like this isn't too expensive:

Something like a Fluke tester is has a higher price tag, but maybe Solarwinds could partner up to get it at a discount, since they'd get somewhat decent exposure.

Pls add INDIA to the list of countries so we can make use of the Thwack store.
Solarwinds branded face masks/gloves?Branded Wireless earphones, wireless charger pads.
I cant buy SCP voucher as South Africa is not listed. I tried changing it to United States just to check and the saving button just keeps turning forever and a day with nothing happening.
hats, both ball-caps and beanies...
How about restocking the solar USB charger with enough stock to actually give people a chance to get it. I check the store every day, and the first time I saw the charger it was already out of stock. Never even had a chance. And my gosh, I don't understand why it takes 6+ months to restock anything!
Wanted to have France delivery
I like the t-shirts and apparel you guys have, but the sad truth is your XXL is to small for us larger folk and I have only seen one or two that came in 3XL and they were gone fairly quickly. Luckily I picked one up and am actually wearing it today.
Sizing is hard from a manufacture and they tend to charge more for larger sizes, I understand that. I would be willing to "spend" more points for the larger size if that helps to keep more of them in stock?
Also, what happened to the big ticket items? Like the corn hole set and other 100,000 items. I was so close to a set and then boom, gone. Gives me something to shoot for and look forward to. We need stuff to look forward to in these times.
Thanks for the opportunity to give feedback!
How about personal licenses so I can run SW on my home network?
I'm still using my Raspberry Pi from thwack!
I'd like to have an option to buy anything outside US, UK or Germany
I would also like to see a personal license, so I could run it at home for testing and playing.
a SW set of D&D dice would be sweet, just having it as an Option makes me think it might happen.
All of the above, but how about some shirts in Tall sizes. LT, XLT, XXLT ? There are tall IT folks you know!
Wireless charging pad, battery pack, Google mini, Amazon echo...
Amazon Gift Cards, please. It would be sweet for us to be able to spend 10,000 points for a $100 gift card. Yes, it would be even better to get a $100 card for 1,000 points or 100 points, but I'm not unreasonable.
SysAdMania (or an update to it)
Hammock
Can you please add the entire EU, not only GB and DL to the country's that can order THWACK store items. We would appreciate that !
Thanks !
I wanted to vote more than once! I ended up with Tech Gadgets because they are usually super fun but they also tend to sell out the fastest.
Is there a vote option to just re-stock what's already in the store more often? I've had my eye on the solar charger for a while but can never seem to get in quick enough to get it.
My second option on the list is Dice. Because dice. Because we're all nerds here and that's okay.
Is there an expiration on the SCP voucher?
If use points for a voucher, how long do we have before the voucher expires?
Thanks!
Add The Netherlands as a shipping option.
Does the SCP voucher expire ?
I voted tech gadgets but also wanted to pick dice.
I'd say Visa or Amazon gift cards would be nice to have!
Gift Cards i.e amazon or visa.
Mini Fridge
Amazon Gift cards, 10,000 points for $10 gift card or $100 would be better
Looks at my Thwack point total.
The spree my wife would go on with that much Amazon credit... <shudder>
Tall sizes for the shirts would be great!
i neeeed a baseball cap
Yes, the SCP voucher expires 6 months from date of purchase.
Pens and/or stickers come for free in all store purchases.
Would love to see that dice conversation come to fruition!
Branded headphones, hats, and beanies would also be nice. The old Thammock? Let's bring that back, too!
Please check out customized KeySmart! https://go.curvgroup.com/customized-keysmart
The popular items all seem to sell out almost instantly, so maybe a larger stock next time? Thanks again for the chance to give feedback and for providing such great swag to this community!
Hey @rmullal! The SCP voucher expires 6 months from date of purchase.
SolarWinds cycling jersey. SolarWinds cycling water bottle.
I have some exciting news coming up for you, my friend. Keep an eye out on the Store Update article soooooooon!!
A wireless charger with the Thwack logo would look very nice on my desk. And a shirt larger than current offerings would look nice on me.
Hoodies and ball caps!
You let YOUR WIFE see you Thwack point total? (shakes his head) You poor soul . . .
;^)
Those are your points, my friend, to do with as you please. If it pleases you to let your wife shop with them, then they're points well spent!
Hmmm... let's see:
I am actually against this, as this could potentially cause outsiders to try to create fake accounts to game the system and monetize activity for $
Nuts. You're right.
However, if banks & the PCI and Amazon can secure online accounts, couldn't Thwack?
Naw, it would probably be cost-prohibitive.
Nuts. Darned people.
Gift cards would be nice .. as they could easily be sent to other locations not covered by the Thwack Store.
Expand the horizon of Thwack Store .. make it inclusive for all
Amazon Gift Card
I got badges with my last order. unfortunately my 4 year old was sitting next to me when I opened it so they were gone haha
Fluke Link-Sprinters are super for tracing cables through miles of spaghetti. We have a dozen of them and could use more.
Even the smallest one has the ability to discover link, speed/duplex, switch name, switchport, and more.
Depending on the model, it may not have a display that shows you the network connectivity info. Models without LCD's will either have BlueTooth to connect to your smartphone and let you see that data there, or will use the copper connection to access the Internet and record the info there, for you to access via your Fluke account.
They're a pretty useful tool--enough so that we've bought a good number for our hospitals and distributed them to Break/Fix Technicians and Biomed staff across three states. When the network patch cables in the racks are not well organized, or when they're VERY well organized and tightly managed with Velcro or other vertical or horizontal cable management, it can be challenging to physically trace a cable from patch panel to switch port. But not when you have a Fluke Link-Sprinter! Connect it, wait the half-minute or so for it to establish link, test POE, get an address from DHCP, discover the LLDP or CDP info from the switch, and then view its report via LCD or BlueTooth or Web site.
Facial Masks
Women's hoodies, polos, etc.
Games. I really wanted that corn hole game but you ran out before I got enough points
Reversible umbrella, Legos , Phone/tablet holder stands, Retractable badge holders on a lanyard, ergonomic mouse, tablet keyboard
Would be nice just to be able to buy anything...
Not allowed to since I live in sweden....
Thanks @OliviaP ! do you know how they are doing the testing now with the pandemic going on? is it still all in person?
More color options with the shirts. (I tend to have too many black/grey t shirts.)
Laptop security locks, laptop webcam privacy flaps
Reusable earplugs, or ear muffs, flashlights (thinking for server room use)
lunchbox, minicoolers, packs
Clever sticky notes/ labels, mini rear mirrors
More solar chargers (I keep missing out!)
Beach towel, hand towel, shop rag, eye glasses cloth wipe
cable management tools, computer adapters
For the thwack store features, can there be extra photos of the items that are zoomable, or a FAQ section? Most times I wanted to get more details of an item, like what the backpack looks inside or a closer look of a logo.
It would be great to see Sysadmania make a return to the store!
and a proper cotton short sleeved shirt with a discrete flare would be great for those client meetings
And maybe even with the option of having an SCP or MVP suffix on the flare
Good question, @rmullal! All exams are given remotely online through a third-party company called PSI. Let me know if you need anything else!
Always like more tech gadgets, but very interested in a good solidly built corn hole set with the logo on it. I saw this set once that had battery powered lights surrounding the hole and the outer edges of the board.
Branded masks, what a cool idea. Now that really would put SW "In your face"
THWACK pajamas.
Some of the weekly or monthly prizes from the Monthly Missions or accessories that go with some of those prizes, gift cards, usb drives and other tech gadgets!!!
@daniellehThanks!
Bring back the Thwammock, please. https://twitter.com/hashtag/thwammock Weather is getting nicer. We have more time around the house. It would be great to #WFH = work from hammock/Thwack-Style.
I'm going to agree with @-_- that this would most likely be the end of the system. Full little solarwinds branded toys or geeky stuff is one thing but you start handing out (essentially) cash, and that would likely be the end of the system. Plus even at your highest exchange rate that would be wholly to much for Solarwinds. I've been participating regularly on this site for just over a year now. Basically daily interaction and trying to learn and network and communicate with fellow admins and tech minded people. While I would say I've had high engagement I wouldn't say it's atypical of the other users I see on here. I've accumulated just shy of 80,000 total points. Is one year of my time interacting with the site for a few minutes a day worth $800? Probably not. You spread that out to everyone here? The program would bankrupt almost instantly.
I like amazon gift cards as much as the next guy, but I don't think this is the system to get them.
Now some smaller limited sweepstakes type interactions? Say 100 or 1000 points to buy in to the raffle, with a limited known number of entries, and the winner of that walking away with a giftcard? Maybe something like $25 or $50? That could be interesting.
The store is ace.
I love my hammock & will be watching like a hawk for when they return.
A bluetooth mouse
or
Giant Umbrella (Lots of advertising space)
The network engineer game with Brad.
A decent laptop rucksack/backpack - no nylon plastic stuff
[Mashes refresh button on store and store blog post for 7 days straight.]
[Looks for carpal tunnel treatment in list of store offerings.]
I would like more clever t-shirts, but not just more -- this type of more:
FOUR laptops?! Need to see this.
It's the best laptop backpack I've seen anywhere. The multiple laptop zippered sections on the strap side could easily hold four modern (thin) laptops. Plus the internal "main" section has dividers for a few more. The external zipper pouches let me keep frequently-used items where I can go directly to them. I have three of these Thwack-Packs--one for me, one for each of my two college kids.
An option to donate points (converted to currency) to non-profits like the Red Cross Red Crescent, Doctors Without Borders, Habitat for Humanity, SPCA International, etc.
SolarWinds 100% Cotton Long Sleaved Shirts like those worn by the Head Geeks.
I would like to see USB external hard drives, maybe USB batteries, T shirts and Polo shirts with just a small SolarWinds logo in the top right, so that we can wear it to work. Also licenses so that we can learn from home instead of work.
I'm with you. More 2X and 3X.
However, since I'm one of the stumpy guys, and have to already roll up the shirt sleeves without having to deal with an additional 5" or 6" of length, it would be sweet to be able to specify size.
In fact, why not just have a place to input the size, select the options for neck, arm length, chest width, stomach width, and shirt length, along with the graphics (cute picture, catch phrase, colors, something on the back, something on the front, etc.) so everyone is lookin' sharp?
The following items are all currently listed as out of stock:
Break My Day MugSolar USB Charger 10000 mAhWomen's Zip-up Jacket (no small or medium)Men's Zip-up Jacket (only small available)JBL Wireless Over-the-Ears Headphones
Any idea when they'll be back in stock?
Any plans to bring back laptop sleeves?
1st World problems: my current sleeve is too small for my new laptop
Honestly, it looks like it's pretty well stocked.
I would like to see biometric usb thumb drives
SNIPS branded with Solarwinds
various tool sets branded with Solarwinds
Solarwinds lavalamp
I have stickers,note pad, water bottle, mouse, several backpacks (even a blue solarwinds one), jackets (awesome), sweaters, t-shirts, the old style travel coffee mug(awesome), polo shirt, two solar usb chargers, two radios, (i had the mini-fridge which i loved, but it stopped working).
I'd like a pair of running shoes to troubleshoot faster, pens, web cam, winter hat (toque), gloves, computer tool kit, light-up keyboard...
All I see in the store right now is the exam voucher. I feel like I may have missed a memo somewhere.....
SOLARWINDS TIE PLEASEEEEEEEEE
I would also like to know when the JBL headphones will be in stock
LL Bean Stonington Carry Bag, it has lots of pockets and padded for laptops or something similar would be nice
I would like to see the JBL headphones again
Desk SWAG desk toys for office for adults
yeti cups or cool laptop bags
