It would suck to spill coffee on that shirt. Geez.



And after a certain price, doesn't a T-shirt stop being called a T-shirt Wink

Maybe it's an elaborate scheme to make Bandai Visual's new DVD's seem reasonably priced by comparison.

Anyone who would be stupid enough to buy this seriously needs to talk to a psychologist. $300+ on a T-Shirt is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. If you had that much to waste, you could just go buy every Gundam toy, graphic novel, and DVD there is.

LOL. I agree with Goodpenguin on this one. Far as DVDs from Bandai Visual are concerned if its selling for > $100 its considered cheap.

Who would spend that kind of money on a t-shirt anyway? Whatever it is I think it's a bit much...

Many many years ago I spent $400 on a T-Shirt to have the Dirty Pair hand drawn and airbrushed by the creator on a T-Shirt..

So I can understand where they are coming from... If you are a big enough fan of something, big bucks is no object..

And I thought $200 for jeans was bad.

Seems to me that you'd be better off putting the money towards a real gundam...

...uh.... that's insane. If I HAD $1600, I wouldn't buy a just ONE shirt. Shoot, the most I've paid for a shirt was $25 (Gaara T-shirt) while most my wardrobe consists of $5 items (even my blue-jeans were bought for $5) **is cheep** I'm even sketchy on paying over $50 on a pair of good shoes (but I <3 my Sketchers; they were worth it; they're shiney~ <3).

I have MADE outfits but they were all under $100; that's the whole thing, too...not just one item.....

Uh...even budget version is pricey.... Gah... My fandom has limits. I can't even dish out teh money to buy the resin statues I want (took me 5 year to get the courage to buy teh FF7 Aerith and Sephiroth resins...)

Crap-ed-de-crap, I"m ranting........... gah............ shirt too expensive, un.
