Got this email today from 80stees:

Hey, there!
Recently, you signed up to be notified when the Autobots Vehicles Shirt would be back in stock. We are currently offering it for pre-order, and you can save 20% on it by using the discount code PreOrder20 (discount only valid while the shirt is on pre-order).

The catch? We must receive at least 40 orders for the shirt by April 12th, 2016, or it will not be stocked. If we meet our goal of 40 orders, we anticipate the shirts will be shipped around May 24th, 2016. If we do not reach our goal, unfortunately that means this product will disappear from our catalog forever.
So don't delay! Pre-order yours today!

I ordered mine - that shirt rocks! :D

That's 5 people who have preordered - only need 35 more. C'mon kids!

Quick question, what are their sizes like? I'm usually a medium but sometimes a large if their sizes are small.

What is the postage to Australia?

$4 USD :D that's what they charged me, definitely worth it. Also, join up first, get a discount code and add when doing the pre order. All up it was about $22.00 USD or so for me.

It says the guy in the picture is 5'7 so about 170cm? But to me it looks too big on him so I got a medium.

Did you use the preorder code, cause it only cost me $19 USD inc postage

Just realised I did. Hmmm, that's annoying. For the simple fact that they said it wouldn't. Not very good practice.

I really like that Decepticon (https://www.80stees.com/products/decepticons-vehicles-shirt) one too... Maybe next time

I wish these guys had a BW t-shirt - I'd buy one of those without a 2nd thought

No wukkas :)


Quick question, what are their sizes like? I'm usually a medium but sometimes a large if their sizes are small.

Whenever I order from 80stees I find it prudent to go one size bigger


Why did you have to be mis-transformed Hot Spot?

Didn't even notice that till you said! Think it's his battle/car carrier mode but even then his ladder should be pointing forward.


Ordered 1... only 34 to go :D

I've ordered one too, I can see this hitting the 40 mark very easily.

Well it had 30 days to reach the 40 orders mark. It's been ONE DAY and they've had 33 orders already! Don't think they will have much trouble getting 7 more :D

I reckon nearly half those orders have come from here - I should hit them up to get my tshirt for free for drumming up interest in it and business for them :p

Im 5'4" and ordered mine on the first go before, im a medium with them.. if that helps.. asian build :p if that makes sense to you , lol... hmmm I think ill order another set, just so i have a spare if these first ones start to fade due to frequent laundry.

That's good, I'm Asian build as well......wait are we allowed to say that these days.....:D
Medium it is.

Also, can I suggest that we all don't wear it next meet up (lets be honest, its likely) :D

Well 39 of 40 ordered - if no one else buys one in the next 29 days ill grab a second one myself ;)

I reckon everyone that ordered one should email me a photo of themselves wearing it when they receive them and I'll make a collage saying 'We saved it!' or something - see if I can scam Ozformers some future discounts :D

Well they are now at 41 - over their requisite 40! Seems the discount is still available which is good.

We all get the shirt - yay! :D

I honestly thought I'd be checking their site every 3 or 4 days to see if anyone else had ordered and watching the numbers slowly creep up over the month. It happened in a day and a half :eek:

I reckon part of the beauty and appeal of these shirts at the moment is that they are covered with lots of pictures of characters/vehicles that have come up in the recent Combiner Wars toyline.

Between the Constructicons, Stunticons, Combaticons, Shockwave, Bombshell and the three main Seekers my Decepticon shirt has 21 characters on it that I've gotten over the last 15 months and my son loves to point them out whenever I wear the shirt :)

The Autobot one has the Protectobots, Aerielbots, The Optimus Maximus team, the Sky Reign limbs, Warpath, Powerglide, Huffer, Ultra Magnus and a few Masterpiece toys such as Ironhide and Tracks. Once again, a lot of characters/vehicles that have been released in the last year or two. My son is gonna love pointing them all out when the shirt arrives :D

Just so people know - they have now sold over 120 of the shirts - so over 300% of what they needed to do another run of it :eek:

I'm not gonna check back in till the end of the 31 day time period, and then just to assuage my curiosity of how many they sold in the end :)

Oh well, not complaining

This is a $20 shirt.

Is it meant to have a vintage/distressed look? Custom-faded so to speak.

jazzcomp
31st March 2016, 06:04 PM
I just saw the sample online and it matches the shirt. Never bought a custom faded print. Normally, it's just custom faded jeans/material :)

It's a medium that is half an inch wider than the autobot vehicles shirt medium and just fits snugly for me. I have asked the autobot vehicles to be changed to a large. Hopefully, they will change it. :)

It's just that the one from Universal Studios is so big for a medium.

Add me to the list of people who have pre-ordered that shirt - got the discount on it too. Love the design and can't wait to get it.
Surprisingly for 2 t-shirts it only cost me US$7 to ship to Hong Kong. Normally it costs a fortune to ship anything to here from the US so I'm pretty chuffed - and the second t-shirt I ordered has already shipped... I was sure they'd hold off and ship the 2 together because of shipping costs so I'm impressed so far.

Thanks for posting about the shirt and the site. I never would have known about it without someone pointing it out.

For those that have them, have they shrunk at all in the wash? I always have to buy 3XL shirts from K-Mart etc because they shrink in the wash and end up like crop tops.

I also have a shirt I bought in the states that they are selling on their site that is a 2XL and it hasn't shrunk.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I don't think so but I've only washed my one once I think. I did find it initially a little different or tighter around the neck compared to other t-shirt websites I've bought from. I think mine is XL.

no my shirts so far hasn't shrunk but the print kinda fades easy which is why I set the washer on delicates and place them in those laundry nets... plus the material is easy to wrinkle so you' d really need to iron them ( inside out) else you end with wrinkly shirt heheheh... unlike the local ones sold here I just pull em a bit here and there after they dry from the line and they're okay good to go...

Was just checking my bank acc and they have charged me again.
So it wouldn't hurt for everyone else just to double check just to make sure they haven't been charged twice!

Edit: can't seem to find the charge to my card from them. Can anyone else clarify they are double charging?

Also looks like they have charged the full amount without the 20% off
