Sorry for the obnoxious link; posting from my phone.

I thought this was a neat t-shirt design.

I'm getting one,  I need more shirts that weren't given to me by work or hockey. Thanks :)

I don't like most unofficial artwork like the kind of stuff that site specializes in, but that Bonk pic is pretty cool. Too bad it only comes in white.

Bonk looks a little constipated, but the enemies sure are cute.  I gotta pass on the white though.

Agreed. I don't get white tshirts unless they are free.

Same, same. White shirts = no go. Unless it's one of those 70's style ones with the black sleeves - you know the kind.

I am starting to second guess my purchase - are white shirts taboo? Is this that labor day thing? I have a bunch of daily driver white t-shirts, is it because they get a bit dingy after a while?

I'll provide a full review upon receipt regardless :P

Hmm, I missed the shirt, curious at what it looks like.  Tried searching for Bonk on the site it found no results.  Tired googling it, nothing.  Anyone have a pic of it?  I also dont' get white shirts anymore.  Unless I stop sweating & eating chocolate or hanging around places that have dirt &/or dust, there's no way I'll get another white shirt!

I am happy to report that instead of spending  $11 for the shirt, I bought Heavenly Guardians for Wii ($11).

Now, I will make my own damn TG-16 shirt.

So I wasn't the only one looking at that game yesterday :P I almost bought a copy, but went with the shirt instead - something tells me I will spend more time with the shirt than with the game hahaha I might get HG soon to check it out, I'm curious to hear your opinion of it!

I've never tried scanning a shirt, and my printer/scanner is broken when I try to print, but maybe the scanner works still, so I'll give it a try without any guarantees of success :)

A nice photo from a tripod or perfectly still hand in excellent lighting (no shadows) might be even better than a scan.

Tell me more about Lambert?

Just curious.

Also, I know a lot of folks don't like the art style/aesthetics...but it isn't bad...it's just a different style that I (we?) are not familiar with.

Having thought about it, now I wish I bought the shirt AND the game.

BOTH!

This always happens when I am too frugal.

Tune in next week...

This is the first videogame shirt I've ever bought myself, and the comments above made me second guess myself a bit tbh, but after checking the link again and looking at it again I have no problem with constipated bonk dropping bricks yo ;) I have to stop wearing work and hockey shirts somehow, and the Quicksilver / Oneal shirts my girl gets me at costco have become mundane and hackneyed - time to shake shit up with a constipated bonk! :)

Having thought about it, now I wish I bought the shirt AND the game.

BOTH!

...I too have followed suit, and ordered the game. It is en route, and shall be played in my Wii U in between grinding sessions of TMS#FE. Saving so much money not eating out at lunch and snacks / sugary drinks have freed my wallet up to be spent on other dumb shit like videogame shirts and poorly reviewed vidyagams! ;)

Lambert is the same guy that runs (or ruined depending on who you ask) the original Turbografx group on Facebook.  He's rubbed a few people the wrong way which spawned Rockabilly's Turbografx Fans and Tats' Obey groups.  Both of those groups were frequented by members that were banned from Lambert's group. lol - mostly for speaking in another language (French, Japanese) mocking members playing Turbo in widescreen stretched LCD or laughing at Runyon.

I tried to convince my wife that we needed to get 4 of the bomberman shirts, since me, her, and our two daughters love playing that game.  But $80+ for shirts was a bit hard to swallow for her.

It's fair pricing, just $80 all at once is a bit much for her. Especially since our kids are still growing.

If that was the case, wouldn't the dpads on the controller's be reversed?

I bet the designer was just high.

The cords look kooler when they are longer...hence traveling all the way to #4 & #5... otherwise they might have looked goofy and short?
