Was checking out a Jayjays store near me yesterday to see if the promised Watches were in yet (and finally buy a couple pairs of TFs boardshorts), I saw several new TFs items - 2 new t-shirts, a new 2-pack of underwear, and a stationery set.

UPDATE (21 Feb)
Ross from JayJays has emailed me a photo of the underwear (big thanks), and have included it here. I still want to get a photo of the two t-shirts when I go back to one of their stores, but if anyone else takes a photo, please do post it.
The new t-shirts - one is a blue one with some basic Autobots Vs Decepticon theme and text, while the other one was grey with 3 frames of a Gen1 comic I don't recognise (looked like very early UK Marvel artwork), showing Starscream blasting Megatron. (UK Target 2005 comic)

The Underwear 2-pack is a colourful pair this time, with one being Megatron on bright yellow, and Optimus on multi-colour (almost like comic strip frames). Plus, apparently they come with a Gen1 sticker sheet as well (as seen in the photo). Price for the pair should be $25.

I didn't note prices on the T-shirts, but are usually about $25 I think.

As for the Stationery set, I actually bought one, so have a photo and price ($10 - it was already discounted from $20, but I've never seen it before at their stores).

Set contains 2 pencils, a pen, eraser, sharpener, mini-ruler, 5 sticker sheets, an Autobot-shaped notepad, all in a plastic carry case.
Most of the items were stuck to the backing card inside the carry case (for display), but the double-sided tape is so sticky, it has left a sticky residue on everything. :mad:

After all the Movie themed stuff lately, it is refreshing to have something with the classic Gen1 Font on it. :)

It's possible...
I may have been too blinded by the bright yellow undies to take accurate notice of the colours of other stuff... :p

Ah, I knew it was early UK Marvel art style, but seems I need to re-read my classic TFs comics again. What a chore... :p

I bought that TF case from Jay's Jay's a fortnight ago and you were right Griffin the backing is very sticky and its hard to come off without damaging the articles.

There's been no TF clothes for ages dude -- any leftover shirts or boardies would've been chucked on bargain tables and seem to have been scooped up yonks ago. I occasionally find some in smaller sizes... ya know, sizes that aren't compatible for XXXXXXXXXXLLLLLL size nerds like me. :)

One of my best friends gave me the underwear 2-pack for my birthday over the weekend. Love them. Best part is wearing the Megatron set and saying 'want to check out my fusion cannon?'.

Because it's a horrible and stereotypical saying that is usually heard uttered from bogan mouth-breathers at a bar? Quite a few times actually. :p

Quite a few stores I've been to in the last month still had a few of the boardies. Make the trek to Sydney and check out a few stores, you might get lucky.

Compared with our brightly coloured trunks, are these briefs just released in America:

(not sure if there is a reason behind the common theme here with evil Megatron associated with a dude's crotch... :p )

You mean apart from Megatron's *ahem* well-endowed toy?


Too easy?
