There Are Two New Shirts In The Store!

Check out the latest explosive content with these new threads!

Hey, we have two brand-new items in the store today available for pre-order until July 27th, which is just over a week from now! Men of a gangly persuasion will be happy to know that we have added Tall fits to L, XL, and 2XL sizes, but this option will be available for the pre-order only; unfortunately costs are a bit too high for us to stock these T sizes permanently, but if we go through a few pre-orders with T sizes we will see if we can get a feel for how popular they are and we'll see about stocking them in the future. (And we'll see about expanding the range of sizes that are available in T in the future, but for the moment this is what we got!) But at the moment, if you want a T size of these shirts, order now!

No Caption Provided

First off is this dashing Explosive Content T-shirt for Men and Women. You can see the entire design here (higher-res version here). Here's a description:

Feelings. Everyone has them, and that’s OK! But sometimes, you can have too many feelings and it can feel like they’re all bottled up inside you with nowhere to go. Well, kids, we’re here to tell you that it’s ok to let them out! Yell into a pillow! Hit a tree with a stick until the stick breaks! Take free throw shots until you hit three in a row - it’ll only take a few days! Do whatever you have to do to get those feelings out, because they’ll come out on their own eventually, and it’ll probably hurt when they do!

That’s good advice for everyone, but if you change every instance of the word “feelings” with “content,” you’ll be able to recreate the pep talk that occurs at Giant Bomb every day around 9 A.M.! We’ve got so much content inside of us that sometimes we can’t help ourselves - it just pops out! And it’s been popping out for a decade now! Celebrate all this explosive content with this fresh T-shirt featuring a design from Jeremy Hamilton.

Next up is the oft-requested Giant Bomb At Nite design for Men and Women, featuring glow-in-the-dark ink:

We don’t always schedule talkshows with a scintillating array of industry guests and insiders, but when we do, they usually happen after 6 PM Pacific Standard Time on the three official show days of E3. Now, though, you can celebrate the spirit of nocturnal dialogue year-round with this glow-in-the-dark shirt featuring our hot, hot, hot Giant Bomb At Nite logo. That’s right, the white ink on this shirt is specially formulated to glow in the dark after getting exposed to light for a while. You won’t be reading by it or blinding anyone with it since we opted not to paint the shirt with radium (you’ll thank us when you don’t get cancer*), but you’ll be dressed to impress the next time you get thrown into a closet to play Seven Minutes In Heaven.

As always, these pre-order shirts will take a few weeks to ship out. When we close the order cycle next week, we'll place an order for the shirts to be made, which will take around ten business days. So most of these pre-order shirts will ship in mid-August. And, as usual:

Customs charges

We have had a larger-than-usual number of reports of customs/tariffs charges being applied to Giant Bomb merchandise shipments to non-U.S. addresses. Usually these shipments will be held up at a customs office and require an additional payment to be released and shipped to the final destination. Unfortunately we cannot take responsibility for these charges and cannot issue refunds for them. If you live overseas, you may want to check with your customs office to see what amount of imported items will trigger these charges. Apologies!

Went to order and only had expensive shipping options ($12 or higher) Am I missing something or did we get rid of the slow/cheap options?

I’ve bought a bunch of the shirts and a few hats and T-shirt quality themselves are always hit and miss. The This Is The Run shirt was such poor quality that I swore I wouldn’t buy any more. It lost all the hem stitching and felt incredibly thin. Then I bought the Murder Island one and it was nice. I’m gonna bite one more time, because I like to support things I like, but man...

Depending on how long the tariff insanity goes on for, maybe look into producing some shirts outside the US to avoid the ridiculous hassle of shipping from your broken country?

Also, glow in the dark shirts are my favorite shirts. Love them.

Same, I would love a GB @Nite shirt but I ended up paying almost as much as the jersey cost in customs/tariffs. I mean I love my jersey, I just wasn't prepared for $400.00+.

I ripped a small hole in my satanic Luchadeer shirt while putting it on (thumbs of steel, apparently) a week or two ago and it super bummed me out. I don't know how long shirts are supposed to last but I guess that I got my money's worth? Anyway, my other GB shirts have held up so whatever. Probably gonna buy one of these. I still have last year's coupon!

So I definitely bought a shirt from you guys once, but it never arrived here and there's no receipt of it anywhere, but could you still mail me a couple of new ones?

As a Canadian, tariff charges are fucking insane now, it sucks.

It seems like the charges went from being around 10% to somewhere around 20-25% (or more) minimum lately and CBSA's been charging duty for everything now, no matter how small the item! When I ordered my GB hoodie a couple years back I think I paid $10 in duty, which seemed reasonable for a sweater that was around $80 CAD at the time. I recently bought a shirt from elsewhere that I got charged half the price of the shirt in duty.

I also imported a piece of guitar gear and got charged around 40% the cost in duty, and it wasn't a cheap thing by any means. When I called and asked where the duty value came from, they didn't have an explanation for me and basically told me it was what it was. The Canada Post guy who delivered it said he's been seeing a ton of this kind of thing happening the last year or so. I felt for him because I'm sure other people aren't quite as calm and understanding when finding out these charges from him as I am.

You’re never going to have a 4x shirt, are you?

We've offered 4x and 5x before, I believe, on at least some shirts. Let me check and see why these weren't in those sizes.

Actually I'm showing that both of these should be in 4x for men's. For women's sizes I'm not sure if we've had options for those that we liked. But I can try to check in on it!

@rorie: Sorry, I was confused. I thought the sizes only went up to 2x but that was Tall you were referring to in the post. Also adding to my confusion was all the other shirts I’ve checked in the past didn’t go up to 4x. Maybe I came to those too late?

Anyways thanks for checking.

Thank you for the Tall options. 2XLs are too baggy but XLs tend to shrink after a few washes to where they barely reach to my belt line. Ordered both!

@rorie: hi Rorie

Thanks for checking in. Just having it shipped to my place in Houston. In the past there’s always been options that are slow and just a few dollars. I will shoot an email out since you suggested that as well. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up. I've almost ordered shirts a few times, but the price of shipping always makes me back out. It feels bad to pay almost as much for shipping as the item costs. Knowing that I'd probably have to pay even more to customs makes me happier about my decision. I love Giant Bomb, but my premium membership will have to do for support.

Thanks Rorie, these are rad. But if you also had any extra Metal Gear Scanlon or Murder Island shirts around in large or even medium that would be terrific too (have both but murder island has a hole in it and my mgs shirt is a parachute on me now)

@rorie Hey, quick question if possible? are these shirts made of a higher quality material?

I don't mean any disrespect, its just the last couple of shirts ive ordered, (the solid scanlon one, and one of the grey giantbomb one's with the words giantbomb done in like a fallout-esque shirt), the designs on them got washed out fairly quickly,

as i wanna buy that explosive content shirt, but im afraid its just gonna get washed out pretty quick

Anyone have a link as to when the hockey jerseys will be back in stock again? I haven't used my $15 credit yet, and have been waiting for it to appear. Also @rorie was there a code sent to my inbox the last time I upped my sub, or is it linked to my account somewhere?

Thank you kind sir!

@mrfluke: These should be of a similar quality to the previous shirts; we almost always use either Canvas/Bella or Next Level shirts for our stuff. Sorry if they fade for you; I haven't had that experience much myself! I always wash everything in cold water, maybe that would help?

We don't have a firm timeline on hockey jerseys; if we do them again it'd probably be around the time of the NHL season starting up, most likely. You can email me at support at giantbomb.com if you want me to look into your code; just keep in mind that if you signed up during a sale you wouldn't have received one!
