With the release of what is almost certain to be the greatest movie of all time today in the UK and across the world over the next week, I thought it would be an excellent opportunity for me to hunt down some robot t-shirts, especially as the previous robot-themed lists have are two of Hide Your Arm’s most popular articles to date. I must admit that I was a total child for the first Transformers live-action movie, even though I realise that in many, many ways it is utterly terrible, but I still smiled throughout the whole thing because it was goddamn awesome. Robots, fighting, and Megan Fox, what more could I possibly want? I’m pretty sure that you could rob my house whilst that film is on TV and I’d only realise you were doing it once you unplugged the Blu-Ray player. I guess you could say I’m a little excited about Revenge of the Fallen being released, which is why I went a little robot crazy and compiled this huge robot tee loving list. Enjoy!

Congrats to Alex Vandenberg who put together the above gif showing off his extensive collection of Threadless tees to win T-shirt Magazine’s Tee Maniacs comeptition. I wouldn’t usually post about someone winning a competition on another site, but come on, how cool is that gif!

This is the 3rd time this week that I’ve mentioned Threadless, sorry Thread-haters, but I’ve got a photo-tee itch that the above tee has done a very good job of scratching. I do really like the shirt, in the same way that I like all meaningless tees that look as if they have deep meaning, but it seems a little odd that the bumper sticker isn’t a really bumper sticker, it’s photoshopped, right?

HEATWAVE - The Telenovela from Threadless.com on Vimeo.

I’ve mentioned before that I broke the speakers/input on my laptop (I’ve actually broken most of my laptop, considering how much time I spend on the internet I should probably just buy a new computer), meaning I had to watch the video above without any sound, so I basically had no idea what was going on, hopefully the rest of you will fare better with Threadless’ latest little competition. Basically, go to the Vimeo page for the vid, and write a 15-20 second ending to the story, the Threadless team will pick their favourite one Tuesday June 2nd at 10am CDT (that’s tomorrow morning), give the writer a $100 gift certificate, film the ending, then post it on Wednesday. Cool!

Threadless have done something very fun over the Easter weekend. Starting in New York on Friday, then Chicago yesterday, and finally in Philadelphia today, they’ve been depositing 5 of those bunny boxes (each of which contain a gift certificate worth $20 to $100) that you can see in the picture in each of the cities, then twittering about the location of each box. I’ve been trying to work out where they’d put the boxes here in Philly, and I get the distinct feeling that they’re going to put one of them in Rittenhouse Square, where I live, so I’m going to be keeping an eye on Twitter if I’m in my apartment all day (Hide Your Arms doesn’t write itself!). If by some miracle I do find a bunny box I’ll run a competition for one of you guys to win the gift certificate, so if I win, you win!

Update: I didn’t win, so you won’t either, the boxes weren’t placed particular near my apartment, and when I did happen to wander past one of the locations (Love Park) on a walk/trip to Chinatown to buy weird snacks this afternoon I had a decent look around and the little bunny was nowhere to be seen.

The Coolest Dude On Earth recently posted his favourite Threadless product shot on his Threadblog, and such is the fanaticism of his legions of followers, he got a load of other great product shots listed in the comments.

One of the things that Threadless definitely does right is product shots, they have the fun shots like the one above (and in the epic gallery below), and then an image of the design large enough that you can see it properly. That’s how it should be, that’s how it should always be, and if tee companies can’t do the fun shots like Threadless do, you should at least have a picture of someone wearing the tee.

Jeez, I have this rant every few months, don’t I? Peep the gallery for the rest of the jolliment (yeah, that’s right, I made up a word).

Nothing guarantees a post on a tee blog like Threadless doing a sale, even if it isn’t a site-wide one.

I’m sure that the vast majority of HYA readers saw this last week (on that subject, if you read this blog and don’t receive the Threadless weekly e-mail could you please leave a comment, I’d be interested to see if anyone falls into that category), but I still wanted to mention it because I loved the design. It kinda reminds me of Battle Royale shirt by Airside, even though they aren’t particularly related.

I guess a lot of other people like it too, because it’s rapidly selling out in a number of sizes.

I know, I know, it is the height of lame-ity to have two Threadless-based posts in a row, but you guys know me well enough by now that as soon as I see something space invaders related I have an uncontrollable urge to blog it in some way.
