It's a 20% Off Black Friday Sale! And There's New Merch Up For Grabs!

Get 20% off everything in the store, for a limited time only!

No Caption Provided

Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving, Turkey Day, or Indigenous People’s Day, there’s one thing that we can all appreciate about late November: the feeling of togetherness that we share with our friends and family as we gird our loins and prepare to storm the local megamall with our truncheons and shillelaghs, ready to bust in the skulls of anyone foolish enough to get between us and that fancy 4K TV that’s 10% off its regularly marked price that somehow jumped up 10% the day before the sale started.

Today, you can celebrate that feeling with Giant Bomb as well. Starting today, all merchandise in our store is 20% off our already comparable, comparable prices. These prices will last until midnight on Monday the 27th, so get your orders in this weekend if you want to saaaaaave! (Some items that were already on clearance will not be discounted further, alas!)

Member’s Tee 2017

No Caption Provided

The hunger is real. The bomb thirsts, eternally, and satiates that thirst with an endless supply of pixelated nuggets. Somehow, though, it never gains nor loses mass. What does it mean? The bomb knows not: it knows only that it will not - cannot - ever stop.

Help support the bomb on his endless journey through the wasteland with the 2017 Giant Bomb Member’s Shirt. Available in men's and women's sizes. (This shirt will most likely ship late next week!)

Balloon Luchadeer Shirt

Many of you said you liked the 500th Anniversary Bombcast shirt, but wanted a design of it that just featured the Luchadeer Balloon animal. Here it is (and in women's sizes too)! This new design features our favorite mascot rendered in labile latex, then transported to a plush cotton tee. What’s on your shirt will be difficult to explain to people unfamiliar with Giant Bomb, but the joy is in the telling! (This shirt will ship immediately, unless you have pre-order items in your cart!)

Winter Pint Glass

If there’s anything that we know about the holidays, it’s that we need to need to slug back quite a number of eggnogs in order to get through Grandpa’s soliloquies at the Christmas dinner table about what the real problems with the world are. We can’t solve his problems with HAARP and the lizard people from the Earth’s core that are infiltrating governments worldwide, but we can numb ourselves to the point where his ranting becomes more amusing than disturbing, at least.

This glass will surely help! Comes with a festive design on the side as well as a Giant Bomb logo on the bottom! (This item will ship late next week or early in December!)

No Caption Provided

Fidget Spinners

Just in time for 2018, this elegantly-crafted plastic thingy that’s attached to a ball bearing will surely earn its rightful place alongside your Pogs and Tamagotchis. Spin it! Throw it like a shuriken!* Eat it!** We’re sure you’ll find as many uses for it we have. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go to the emergency room.

*Don’t do this.
**ESPECIALLY don’t do this.

(This item will ship late next week or early in December!)

Interlocking Logo: New Options

We also have a number of items available for pre-order with the GB Interlocking Logo on them, including t-shirt available in both Men's and Women's sizes, a long-sleeve shirt, a crew neck sweatshirt, and a hooded sweatshirt. These are, I believe, the first long-sleeve shirt and crew-neck sweatshirt that we've offered! You can find pictures of each of these items at the links above. All of these are pre-order items, mind, and will not be shipped out until sometime in mid-December, but should arrive to you by Christmas!

If you have any questions about the new gear or anything else, please leave a comment here but please tag me into it and I will try to get back to you as soon as I can! You can also email me at support at giantbomb.com and I'll try to get back to you over the weekend!

Oh no I just made an order before any of this was revealed!

Edit: Actually, I calculated that if I add anything else to the order I will be put in a higher taxation tier so I probably shouldn't do this.

@rorie Are the shirts made of the thinner material that the last few new shirts have been? It’s a dealbreaker for me if it’s that thin stretchy material.

Gotta get a Gerstmann fidget spinner of course.

They are all usually Canvas or Next Level shirts, yes, but you can email orders@socialimprints.com if you want a precise make/model and material!

Shipping glass is expensive. I usually just stick to shirts but I gotta have that hoodie. Any plans to put the interlocking logo on a hat?

EDIT: the Winter Pint Glass ships free? It doesn't seem to ask for shipping. @rorie

@rorie Are the Black Friday discounts applied at checkout or with a discount code? Or are they reflected across all items in the store already? I think it's about time to use my membership voucher.

$17.15 shipping for a shirt, mug, and the stupid fidget spinner... that is fucking ridiculous.

I believe the mug has to be shipped separately from the other stuff, but you might want to email orders@socialimprints.com and see if they can look into that!

What's the mouthfeel on the fidget spinner? Is it coated with the same stuff as Switch cartridges?

@rorie I asked when it was first announced, but how thick is the GB interlocking logo zipped hoodie? Is it thick, or is it a more San Francisco style thin hoodie?

@rorie I know it was mentioned before, but I was curious if there was something up with the Winter Pint Glass preorder or if it's working as intended. Ordering it didn't charge for shipping, and it also isn't part of the 20% off. I thought maybe that was because it was a new item for preorder, but it seems the rest of the new merch has the discount applied. Just curious, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Damn it. I kind of want three shirts but I don't know that my Christmas budget holds all three. Tough choices ahead.

I hope the new shirts are all Next Level, they are great. Never liked the Canvas shirts, felt flimsy.

Am I the only one remembering shipping costs to be way higher before? I never bothered to use my coupons because shipping costs were about the same as the price of a shirt. I just checked again and shipping was only 5 bucks or something for a shirt so I decided to use both coupons I had lying around and got myself a shirt and the fidget spinner.

Idk, maybe I'm crazy, but $12.50 to ship a $12 coffee mug in the US is a bit crazy.

Why is the cheapest option priority 2-day? Why can't we ship standard?

@ottoman673: Anything over 1lbs kicks it out of First Class Post eligibility. I'm guessing that their merch distributor is factoring in their own "shipping and handling" charges into the price as well.

I retweeted Jeff's reveal of the fidget spinner and then my roommate bought 2 of them for us to share.
