Seems a bit expensive. Also, you should accept bitcoin.

look at your own link, ALL of the images are based on publicly available bitcoin related pictures. all you did was upload the pictures from google image search to cafepress.
None of the images used in shop saw Internet until I uploaded them on CafePress. Neon, Acid and Cold Bitcoin probably didn't existed even
as a thought few weeks ago.
one of the people checking the content uploaded was and is strongly against Bitcoin
So if we patronize your store we are supporting a business with people strongly against bitcoin?
If one (1) guy on irrelevant position in CafePress foodchain (unless that is true, there would be no store right now) not supporting Bitcoin is
enough for you to not buy anything from Bitcoin Megastore than don't buy from it.
looks to me like you fired up mspaint, used the dropper/paint bucket, then uploaded them to cafepress. If you actually did something special that showed you had respect for the community instead of just trying to make a quick buck, you might get some positive reviews.
For the same Bitcoin Megastore is offering but with bitcoins as well as fiat currencies payment, I think we'll have to wait for a very long time.
I have checked not only with CafePress but Zazzle, Spreadshirt and few more Print-On-Demand services, and none of them seems interested
in allowing bitcoins as payment method.

I think it depends what where your and attitude efforts in trying to encourage to accept BTC as a payment
I'll put it differently. Complete store was closed few days ago because one of the people checking the content uploaded was and is strongly against Bitcoin (not actualy having a clue what it really is). Once situation was cleared (luckily, there are CafePress people
able to listen and reason), due to few bugs on CafePress side I lost over a day* to restore everything to current status. The last thing
I need right now, after shop is announced to Bitcoin community, is store closed again because of me weaving the Bitcoin flag around
CafePress staff. Few guys there seem to be properly informed about Bitcoin so I'll opt for just letting time do the neccessary work.

Bitcoin Megastore is a result of close to 300 hours of professional work. Over 400 images (renders) have been uploaded and each item
is custom designed, which is true for website as well. If you're having a problem with me using known Bitcoin logos, I suggest checking
their copyright status, here and here.

It is not "just stuff with a BTC on it":

* Shop announcement was scheduled for late friday or early saturday GMT time. I already had www.bitcoinmegastore.com domain
purchased, redirect set and so on. Like 20 people I know in real life were expecting opening as scheduled, and I was expecting easy
riding weekend. It turned out into personal Doomsday!

This looks completely different now, thanks for the clarification and I understand your choices, hope it turns out well and you manage to offer your products for BTC, that's when I'll buy.

I think it depends what was your attitude and efforts in trying to encourage to accept BTC as a payment:
There is a currency menu at top right website corner, no Bitcoin on it though. CafePress seems to be not interested in accepting Bitcoin.
But, given that most people hoard bitcoins especially now when price skyrocketed, I don't see problem with not accepting them in the store.

Don't forget that Bitcoin is not only a currency but (as I think it should be more promoted) a payment system and people are continuing to use it thus, regardless of the price of BTC.
Shoulda called it the "B with two lines through it" megastore. Not to sound harsh, but... it's just stuff with a BTC on it. Could you put "Bitcoin" or "Bought with Bitcoin" on them?
And everything's in $ only? I guess you can't put "Bought with Bitcoin" on them...
