Shirt.Woot

Ooh, I get the feeling this one will be very popular. Suburban Blitzkrieg has always been a favorite around woot.

Shirt starting sales:

Ancestry - 5175
Different Spokes - 940
Fly the Furry Skies - 1595
Ninja on a bicycle - 2701
people on the bus - 3021
Sub-lime - 2784
Suburban Blitzkrieg - 3198
Villainous Victorian Velociraptor - 7300

I thought for a second I would be able to buy The Choice Was Not Hard when I got to the word swim but I guess that design doesn't depict the act of swimming. Sigh.

Passed on Sub-lime the first time around and regretted it.

I'll regret it less during round 2. Anvil blanks = no thanks!

It's too bad the ancestry/Tron design looks so small on the shirt

And I'm waiting for the steampunk theme week lol I'd like an opportunity to buy Steamworks Operatica, which I missed by a few weeks, I think, when I signed up for shirt.woot Or maybe a sci-fi theme, with JovobeniNoir :D

*end of shirt hopes and dreams remarks*

I would have bought Villainous Victorian Velociraptor but unfortunately it's on Anvil. The side sales are losing their appeal. Sad to see awesome classic designs printed on lousy shirts.

Edited to correct weird iPhone autocorrected word.

Suburban Blitzkrieg is shirt aficionado's shirt in my opinion. It's not overtly humorous, nor cutesy, nor serious.

It has this odd humor and the right amount of "wait, what?" factor in it. It's the kind of shirt that makes you say, "That's kinda cool." Then feel deep regret that you didn't get it when you had the chance.

I have to wait until I get paid later this week, but I'll likely nab one because there is something inherently old-school woot style about it.

I thought hard about getting a Bunny vs. Penguin hoodie or two, but in the end none of the designs screamed "Buy me! Buy me!" quite loudly enough. I told myself, "Surely there will be more compelling hoodies next week."

(Note to self: Stop calling self "Shirley.")

But alas! There were no hoodies at all the next week! I consoled myself with the thought that woot had saved me money. (I can't buy woot tee shirts - I already have more than I can wear the rest of my life. (If I confine myself to wearing them as shirts, anyway.))

So nothing tempted me last week.

Nothing tempts me this week.

Woot is saving me so much money that soon I may be able to replace my jeans, shoes, and socks that all have holes in places that other people would prefer not to see.

Please, though, don't start up a jeansshoessocks.woot. I won't be able to both overindulge on woot stuff and save up for a house with a couple of extra rooms just for the closet space!

YOU BROUGHT BACK UH OH YAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!

No Portal shirts? Ah well, all the designs I wanted this week are Anvil.

Men's/Women's look to be made in the USA = AA

THANK YOU WOOT GODS FOR BRINGING BACK SUBURBAN BLITZKRIEG ON AA!

/happy dance

Gadzooks, my Victorian Tron design is back! I've always thought it was one of my most wearable shirts. Thanks Woot!

I think looks may be deceiving there. The printed design comes out about 13 inches wide.

It is.
It has that "surfer shirt" look with a sneaky geek finish.
Unfortunately, this sale has put the kibosh on my teetrade deal.

Discovery is landing at Dulles tomorrow, to prep for entry into the museum here, and I find myself wishing I had one of the awesome Space Shuttle shirts that has been in recent derbies but hasn't printed. IF you felt like printing one of those, now would be the time, and this would be the place! Pretty please?

Extremely happy to see Sub-lime on here. I've been trying to track down one of those for a long time.

Suburban Blitzkrieg, you're mine.

I'm quite fond of my copy of this shirt, and glad I'm getting a backup.

No penguin on a vespa? I'm disappointed.

Vile temptress shirt.woot! My willpower to resist a truly classic remix is waning.

In for two UH-OH, even though it is on Anvil.

*shakes a fistful of money at shirt.woot*

Ahem.

Now that I've regained my composure, please bring back BATS next week in a new sale. It should have been here this week.

BATS FLY, RIGHT???

I just wanted to point out it's still snowing here in Minnesota, and a Villainous Victorian Velociraptor hoodie would have been nice.

Wow... at 1am I totally read this as Shirts on the Move: Shirts That Fly, Swim, and Zoom into Your Chest! o.O

AA Shirts!

Different Spokes - Men's and Women's
Fly the Furry Skies - Men's and Women's
Ninja on a bicycle - Men's and Women's
people on the bus - Men's and Women's
Sub-lime - Men's and Women's
Suburban Blitzkrieg - Men's, Women's, and Kids'

Thinking of getting 'Suburban Blitzkrieg' and 'people on the bus'. If I get both I will own all three Derby #109 winners (none from before they were reckoned) and will have owned all three Derby #44 winners (one bought on day 1 and one random, but both traded away due to brightness of shirt color).

Just love my VVV shirt, Suburban Blitzkrieg is a classic and a great idea, and UH-OH is pretty funny.

I have yet to purchase an Anvil, but I may have to get a Blitz before the week is out.

Ohai it's on AA cranberry! Excellent...

I have "Ancestry" in WM on AA that I would be delighted to trade or sell if anyone is interested.

YAY the Velociraptor rides again!!!! Thanks, Woot! Now I just need to decide how many backups I should buy. It's one of my all time favorites so I want to have it for years to come.

missed a perfect opportunity for a shirt that I really want... but was before my time / out of my budget

Any chance of a beach party / summer fun week? I'll even pick out the rest of the shirts if need be.

bluejester, thank you for spelling that out. No other design has ever come close. When I signed on and learned I had missed this one by mere weeks... gloom, despair and agony on me. Eventually, ebay came to the rescue. But now, I can do it right. Three for me! Thank you, Woot and tgentry!

Day five and no shipping notice...please advise.

Every other Side Sale has had the earliest shipment date (generally a week after the Side Sale is over) noted in its write-up. It's odd that it isn't in this one.

The page for each individual shirt has this notice on it, in one of those bright orange boxes: "Just so you know, these designs will start racing out to your loving arms on Wednesday, April 25th!"

goldenthorn wrote:Well, according to the sizing chart just now, Suburban Blitzkrieg is being printed on AA for women. Which: huzzah and bought! I can only hope that they don't cut corners and use the proper-sized design template for the women's shirts--in addition to actually being AA. Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed for me as well. This will be the first side sale shirt I've bought, and unfortunately probably the last Woot shirt I'll be able to buy as they make the transition to Anvil.

I would have bought Ninja on a bicycle if it wasn't titled on the shirt. I almost bought it for my husband cause I like him in red, but he also didn't like that it was titled. Sorry little guy!

My UH-OH shirts arrived today, and (surprisingly) were printed on AA. I had ordered a K10 and MXL. The print and color are perfect, and my son loves his. Excellent!
