Of course, there were hats, shirts, bumper stickers and your normal standard San Diego Comic Con swag, but they also had some really unique items like a Purge Night emergency candle, greeting cards with fun messages, seeds to grow your own Blue Purge Glory flowers, stain remover in case you get messy during the purge and your very own copy of the 28th Amendment.

Littered around the space, they also brought in other products that were just for display: masks, body armour for you (and your dog) , a card game and a splatter-proof poncho.
