In my daily internet prowls, I regularly see things that would make any retro gamer weep with desire to own it (case in point: The Duke Togo sleep mask, which sold out almost instantly). This week's things you want is dedicated solely to anyone who can hum the music from the first level of Bubble Bobble perfectly down to the shortest notes, because trust me, if you relate to that, you're going to want this shirt.
On sale at Hobby Search for about $28, the shirt is 100% cotton and gives you a great way to show off your love for Bub and Bob. Be warned, this is a Japanese shirt, so sizing runs a tad smaller than usual -- a small will fit a woman just fine, but you might want to order up a size if you're unsure. Talk about cool though -- this is the kind of shirt you tap a stranger on the shoulder for to ask where they got it!

The last couple weeks have I noticed your posts, most of them are advertising telling us how awesome this and that is and we should BUY it.
I am not saying the products are bad or good thats not the point but damn I thought Destroctoid wasnt about advertising at all.. This sucks
Anyway, for that much, that's not a bad price. I do love Bubble Bobble but enough to buy a shirt and wear it in public? More than likely.
The fact that you called a staff member, that on a weekly basis, helps promote and run contests that total hundreds of dollars a week shows you haven't lurked more than a few days.
Also, as you might have guessed, I want this.
And who the hell is this Niero character?
You broke rule #1(Don't Suck, because I know your to fucking lazy to have read them), you may kindly leave the site and stop posting.
Click my red user name for a hilarious blog regarding people who make their own t-shirts.
Artemis is the new video game t-shirt meme.
"I'm giddy for this Bubble Bobble T-Shirt!!!
Yeeeee!!!..."
Additionally, if you'd like to look at Colette's posting history, go ahead and click on her name. You'll see that she doesn't only post about merchandise at all. Before you accuse her of being something, maybe you should do your research.
I think I can object to a $28 shirt that costs 5 cents to make, though.
Of course you can. 28 dollars is a ripoff. But that doesn't say anything about Colette.
You, sir, are a prick.
Yes, I made a mistake when I initially posted about The Robot Man shirt...
I never said it wasn't my site... I explained, on my own, a few hours later that it was.
My intentions were, are and always will be honest.
For you to post a NVGR clog, to question my character, grammar and company is pretty ridiculous.
The fact that you have created false profiles with my pictures are damn near slander...
@Druid01
I agree, man! It is hard to find cool video game merchandise...
@Everyone
We are here for the love of video games! I thank Colette for bringing cool video game related things, such as this Bubble Bobble shirt, to our attention. You rock, Colette!
And even if she is "advertising", which she's not, what in the hell is the big deal?
As long as it's video game related, who cares?
Some of you guys need to lighten up...
Haha I didn't create those profiles genius. You're generally hated around here for what you did. You didn't explain it was yours "a few hours later", you did it A WHOLE DAY later; we have the blogs as proof.
Nice try attempting to get back in with the community. You're a liar, and everyone knows it.
Don't try to bring Colette into this you asshole, did she make this shirt then post a blog and cover it up by acting like she found it and couldn't wait to buy one? No, you did that. Now kindly GTFO and never come back.
Y'know what? keep right on posting things that make you happy because, I'll tell it, they often make ME happy too. And Mr. Morbidlurker, if you don't appreciate being pointed to a Bubble-Bobble shirt, piss right off you joyless bastard.
UniQlo in Korea has a special line of retro game shirts ATM...though I even thought $20 was too much :/
