If you don't get the fast shipping you have to just wait and wonder while everyone is already posting the cool shirts they got and want to trade. It's pretty agonizing.

Same here. In Anvil, a WL fits comfortably - as it does in my non-woot shopping. On Woot, a WXL is pretty tight so I usually get a MM.

This random sale is a bummer - if I get women's sizes, they're going to be tight because they're AA. If I get men's, I don't know if I'll get Anvil or AA so don't know what size to order.

In for three. I wonder if overnight shipping makes for better chance at AA shirts. Thoughts?

I would be very thrilled if I could NOT receive shirts that are currently in the reckoning, like last time. That was a rather big bummer for me.

Woot shirt has been so good to me... so I bought three!!! I'm hoping for cats!!! There have been a lot of cat shirts. <3 >^^<
Have there been any vampire cat ninjas vs vampire bunny pirates?!? LOL!!!

Thanks Woot!!!

I haven't tried the Anvil MM yet to compare it to the AA MM, but I do recall reading that the men's shirts were much closer in cut and size than the women's shirts were. There are some differences, but the overall cut isn't completely different, as is the case with the AA/Anvil women's shirts.

In for 3. I can't resist the thrill of the unknown and the anticipation of what I will end up with. Hope they don't suck. I've been pleased with the random shirts I've gotten in the past.

WOOT Gods, video game shirts please!

Why buy three? You crooks are shameless.

Last time I listened to these poeple and bought 3, all I got was 3 stupid shirts I didn't want.

DON'T LISTEN to the shills that tell you to always buy 3.

In for three!

Please treat me better this time around Woot, I had to trade all three of my randoms last time.

MOAR CATS PLZ.

First random shirt woot. FINGERS CROSSED!! Is that the right thing to do for good luck?

Trying to narrow down what I might be getting...am I correct in thinking that if it DIDN'T print on AA originally, it won't be included in the randoms?

I wanted to buy three more for the wife.....but I cant. whats up with that? Its not like Im buying more for myself. Lord knows I'd be a woman 6xl.

I seriously just asked the other day when the random shirt sale would be... In for 3, of course.

neuropsychosocial wrote:It's When I Grow Up printed in the Woot Plus "Editors' Choice" Woot Plus sale. From your username, I'm guessing that you like butterflies! In the last Random sale, there were a few shirts from the Woot Plus sales that showed up, but it's unusual because woot usually prints only the number of shirts that sold in the side sales. However, When I Grow Up printed on olive AA in women's sizes; it was the most recent shirt to print on olive AA and I'm pretty sure that olive is the last color that woot still has in women's blanks, so I suspect that they will "dump" the remaining women's olive AA blanks in this Random sale by printing something on olive and sending it out - either Kitchen Warfare or "When I Grow Up" are my guesses (I think Kitchen Warfare is more likely, because it's a simpler [one-color] print, so it's cheaper to print because it requires only one run through the printing machines), although it would be great to see Fresh Cake one more time. I'm just guessing that woot will do this, but they did something similar in the last Random sale: printed "Kitchen Warfare" to dump the olive men's AA blanks, "Sweet Dreams" for black men's AA blanks.... not sure if there were others.

In other words: it's possible but unlikely that "When I Grow Up" will appear in this batch of Randoms, so cross your fingers tight and keep your eyes peeled on this thread, the Trading Thread, and Teetrade. As it sounds like you really want it, you might even go on the offensive and post on the Trading Thread and TeeTrade that you're looking for one (specify what sizes you'd accept!). (Shirts will start arriving tomorrow, so posts in this thread and the Trading Thread will start tomorrow and ramp up on Thursday probably.)

It's really cute: I hope you find one!

YES! I would LOVE Fresh Cake and Kitchen Warfare!!! /crosses fingers

Have you tried the Random Shirt Trade thread? Search near the top right of the page. So far I've unloaded two unwanted shirts to people with different taste than mine and got two I wished I had purchased when they were available.

In for 3 on my first random shirt buy. But now I'm sad I didn't get fast shipping... I'm already really excited to see what I got and I don't think I can wait!
Oh well, lesson learned for next random shirt day.

Also, Woot! you are killing me, or at least my wallet! Three Woots in as many days! I do have to eat you know! :p
Edit: I take that back, 4 woots in three days, oh money how you leave so fast

Oh goodie! Now I have random shirts for my random personalities..

No you don't!

Yes, You do!

..um..thanks Woot!

I am SO EXCITED to have the chance to order more Woot shirts on the Women's AA blanks!! I had pretty much given up on the whole shirt.woot thing, but happened to see the email about the Dinos t-shirts, which led me to the Random shirt sale and the size chart and... bliss. :D

Dearest Woot, won't you reconsider the blanks change... If the next round of US Olympic team uniforms can be made in the USA, why oh why can't Woot shirts too?

Call me ignorant, but why are we supposed to buy three?

tacos are fun...just sayin

The MXXL in both feels identical in the chest and waist; the Anvil neck is looser.

Like always, in for three. Always get three.

1) Always buy 3. ALWAYS.
2) Pay the extra for shipping, lest you find yourself a sad sack, sitting around waiting for your shirts to arrive while all the cool kids post what randoms they received and trade for the ones you want.
3) There is no rule 3, but these types of things always seem to work better when you tell people there are three rules.

Awwww...crap! I was really tired last night when I ordered and forgot all about cardinal rule #2. I'm going to be a sad sack again.
(This is only my 2nd random shirt purchase and I didn't know that the first time...found out later in the forums...but I always know to get 3. Always! )

archiwiz wrote::D I was thinking of doing the same thing. Thanks for strengthening my resolve!

I am also amply endowed in the boobage dept and prefer the men's shirts. The women's XL's just don't give my girls enough room to reach their full potential. They don't like being squished.

That's actually not a bad idea!

Is there a Mortimer and Monte t-shirt I haven't seen??? If not, THERE SHOULD BE!!! Someone get on that right away, please, Woot.

I received my three randoms, and I'm quite pleased. They seem to have reached back in the catalog, though I'm assuming the two on Anvil were available recently in side sales.

I'm pretty sure I've got a brand spanking new one of these at the house in MXL.

All three were sold in the side sales. What is strange, however, is Goldenthorn losing her 'First Sucker' status on The Sex Drugs.
