I'm trying to warm up to the new series, and give it my full support. Surely CBS will have hats, T-shirts, Cereal, soda, etc to help market the new show.

I think it could be a good idea if collectively, we made a list of every piece of associated merchandise as it comes available. This could be fun for collectors, and if/when the show becomes a mega hit, fans will have a list of everything Macgyver 2016 related.

Good idea, although how much merchandising is around for other big shows at the moment?

The only show I'm aware of (other than the obvious superhero stuff) is The Big Bang Theory t-shirts.

But yes if they put out anything we will certainly keep a list of it on the site.

Honestly hoping for a stealth video game in the vein of the original splinter cell

I don't think there has even been a console game based on a TV show has there?

Video console games like that are mega expensive to make. They're around the same cost as making a big budget movie. That's why the official MacGyver game was released on mobile platforms rather than console. I still the whole idea of MacGyver lends itself nicely to a First person type video game if done properly though.

I'm not sure how relevant this would be to this topic, but there's some "official" MacGyver merchandise on Cafe Press. It's a pretty big selection of items too from the original. I dunno how official it really is, though it claims to be official from CBS/TVCity.

I didn't know if anyone else knew about it. I just found it recently and kinda went... "huh..."

They're not official at all, but they are kinda cool!

Might have to get me some of that stuff.

Cafe Press is a bit of a tip off that it's probably NOT official, but I have to agree that there's some cool stuff on there. I may have to pick up a few items myself.

Here's some more cool fan stuff on Amazon.

Count me in Jedi! I especially like some of the Coffee Cups

Well, 24 has a game on PS2. The Shield had a PC-game and Game of Thrones has their own six episode adventure on PS3 and 4.

So yeah, they exist but not so much. If they ever do a MacGyver game I hope it's third person. I like to see my character.

Ah cool. I didn't know GOT had a game... makes sense I suppose, it seems to be the biggest show in the world at the moment.

I think Third person would be awesome. It's the best of both worlds really, you get to see your character on screen but then can zoom into first person if/when needed.

I'd actually love something done like Assassins Creed - love love LOVE those games!

Actually there have been quite a few video games released based on TV shows. Even upon the last 10-15 years.

Desperate Housewives
Ghost Whisperer
Grey's Anatomy
Criminal Minds
Walking Dead
Lost
Murder She Wrote (Old show but recent game)
CSI
NCIS
Knight Rider 1&2 (For PC & PS2)

What I would really love was a blu-ray release of MacGyver and KnightRider, with lots of new extras. Older shows have received that transfer, why not two of the most famous tv series of the 80's?

There's a video game of Desperate Housewives?

Not sure about the others, but I know Knight Rider was filmed and edited on film which gave them the clean film prints for DVD and then Blu Ray.

MacGyver on the other hand was shot on film but then transferred to video for easy editing so the master copies are video instead of film which can't be upgraded to HD and is also why the early DVD episodes don't look so great.

I gather this would mean making a Blu Ray version would required all the episodes to be recreated from the film masters which is a hell of a job, imagine having to go through and match ever single edit, shot, angle etc to be exactly as it is now.

So the best we could ever hope for would be that they clean up the images (which from what I understand is very labor intensive work) and give us out-takes and behind the scenes stuff.

There is!

Wow!

Is it a PC game?

It is! I actually have it. Got it in a bargain bin some time ago. Was actually a fan of the show.

Teri Hatcher looks good even as an avatar.

I want one of those new MacGyver caps, will they be available to buy through MacgyverOnline.com at some point?

I've just received the dark blue hoodie with the Phoenix logo - absolute S**T!!!

It looks like a really bad home made job printed with empty ink cartridges.

I wouldn't recommend their stuff to anyone

Also be warned that the hoodies have narrow arms so feel very tight fitting even though I got a size large! the material is also quite thin, so not very warm either.

I'm absolutely disgusted with the very poor overall quality of the whole product so don't waste your money there.

I got a t-shirt from a website called 'Captain Myke' a year or so ago.
Not official, for sure, but it's a decent t-shirt.
Worth a look?

Yes we have links to them in our store page, but I see the site has gone.

I'll get back in contact with him and see if he's still selling the products.

I've spent all week-end rebuilding our online store. Still only about half way through, but we now have some official merchandise listed there and can easily add a new category for any reboot stuff if needed.

Let's hope CBS bring out a whole heap of MacGyver-related stuff, over the coming months and years. Can't wait!

Your hard work, is gratefully appreciated. Thank you!

Kiwitek, Could I ask? Would it be possible for you to include a video file attachment (or the ability to embed a YouTube video link) within a post message? For example- if a new MacGyver promo arrived we could attach or embed the video link within our posts, and the video would appear in our messages, so as other members could view that video from within the message post?

Keep up the good work !

Yep, here's how

It's just a matter of copy and paste the embed code from youtube. The above link shows you where to find it. You can also click the "Add video" button if you're using the post/edit screen which will also take you to the instructions on how to do it.

Let me know if you need any further help with it.

"If I had some duct tape, I could fix that."

The phrase is used on shirts, mugs etc. and is attributed to Mac, but wasn't it Murdoc pretending to be Mac, who originally said it???

Yes, I think your right.

I thought the episode (strictly business) were Murdoc pretends to be MacGyver, so funny.

It was by far the best, Murdoc v MacGyver showdown episode. Although I felt what let the episode down was giving MacGyver amnesia, hated that part. It was unnecessary!

Out of everything in the episode the line is what I remember most!! I'll have to go back and watch it soon
