Just returned last night from 9 days at BWV. I bought a DVC polo shirt for $49. Tshirts, raincoat(very nice but $110), pins, and glasses were available. That is it. I asked several CMs at the DVC office at boardwalk, and no one knew anything about new merchandise.

Each of the DVC resorts has a shop that sells anything from clothing to toothpaste. Usually the DVC stuff is on display. In order to buy it you have to show your DVC Card or your room key which is labled DVC.

So far, I've never had to show any member ID to buy member items, with the exception of the Members Only pin. In fact, we've had non-DVC local friends buy member items for us when we're not there.

I've been going to WDW for years and one of my favorite thing to do is shop. I've never noticed this stuff in the stores. Go figure. Maybe it's just in the hotel stores where DVC is attached? Next time, I'll scope them out.
I believe that is correct, that the only shops that sell DVC merchandise are the DVC resorts themselves, with the exception of the general pins. I don't recall seeing shirts, etc. anywhere else.
