Ok, so the long rumored merch tie-ins to Rock Band are now official.  From our friends at IGN:

MTV Games and Harmonix have announced a new merchandise store at Rockband.com where Rock Band 2 players can create customized merchandise that features their in-game characters and bands.

Here’s the pricing breakdown on the custom merch, in US dollars:

Bandmate figurine (6″ in height): $69
T-shirt: $29
Poster: $14
Stickers (sheet of 6): $5
Bumper Sticker: $4
Key Chain: $3
Button: $2

I must admit, I’ll probably fall victim to this side of the Rock Band universe.  Am I the only one?
