Chill - Ami's off doing her own thing now, not sure what exactly she's up to to be honest.
Who's Ami?
She was the community manager for Wipeout when SL was still active, and was also CM for Driveclub for a while.
Ooh right, I thought it had something to do with Insert Coin, nevermind then :)
https://www.insertcoinclothing.com/b...s-coming-soon/
I wanted piranha :(
Still no release dates :( :(
I read somewhere that they might do more teams down the line. I'd hope they'd at least finish out the first five: AG-Systems (Check), FEISAR (Check), Auricom, Qirex, and Piranha.
As a FEISAR fan, I'm already happy, but I know what you mean.
Still, let's vote with our dollars and comments!
They're taking pre orders for some stuff now guys, Wipeout included!!! ^_^
Heres a link to all the Wipeout stuff!!! https://www.insertcoinclothing.com/wipeout/
Those are rather espensive >.<
Are they lined with rare wipeout-onian metals or something?
Anyone know the fabric / print quality of insertcoin?
Cipher
They actually had to get permission from Sony I think, hence price. I have a boat load of stuff from Insert Coin. All there stuff is really high quality.
>.>
<.<

Why's your £ so high?! Grrr! Guess i'll have to save up then huh? :p
Wish the sweater was a hoody though, i love my hoodies ^^
Cipher
Just pre-ordered the bundle!
Judging from the close-up photos though, the printing method they chose is heat pressing, which is not the best technique.
That's too bad, the designs will start crackling after a few washes...
Is that me or the AG-Systems and F.E.I.S.A.R. logos are not from the “WipEout (1995)” game like they say?
You can find an history of the logos at Wipeout Central:
http://wipeout.wikia.com/wiki/AG_Systems
http://wipeout.wikia.com/wiki/FEISAR
I expected more from a company that is considered specialized in clothing for video games.
Dosnt say taken from, just "Inspired by"
Hard to tell from photos. Also, those shirts in the photos might be slightly lower quality mockups for show.Quote:

Also: ATTENTION PILOTS!:
They are currently have a birthday discount for July. (Check their blog) And T-shirts are 3 for 2. This discount doesn't seem to be reflected in the bundle price, so if you order the shirts separately, you should save some money! :D
IC have responded to a question on their FB post implying that if these ones sell well more may be in the pipeline
Guuuuyyyyssss!!!!
Be smart, use promo code "NOWWEARE5"
Giving a hefty 20% discount!!
They're not compatible with the bundles, but depending on how many you get, the 20% can be better
Sadly the 3 for 2 offer doesn't seem to apply to the t-shirts though :/
Edit; it does work, but the 20% promo code seems to overwrite it, so, not stackable *sad panda* (Don't judge me!! It was worth a shot!! >.<)
Cipher
Why would they have made close up photos then? It's actually easy to see that it's not screen printing, which is the best option for T-shirts. These designs are decals that have been heat pressed.Quote:

Have a look at this and you'll know what I mean: http://i.imgur.com/4T4NWE5.jpg
Might i say that is one sexy shirt in your linked image :p
But yeah, also what i'm afraid of, cracking of the prints, i'm honestly not planning on wearing them and just adding them to my collection, but wanted to buy 1 extra AGS shirt to wear, and it'd be a shame f they start cracking after a couple washes
Cipher
Which isn’t even close to be true. Mind me, the shirts looks great. Imagine if there was a tee-shirt with the picture of the young Anakin Skywalker “inspired by Star Wars Episode IV” (reminder: Anakin Skywalker was exclusively adult in Episode IV).Quote:

Side note, I'd wear that tshirt lol
It's not just about the images cracking, it's about comfort.
When I wear the Angel Grove T-shirt, the design starts sticking to my skin if I'm sweating a little bit, which makes it very uncomfortable to wear.
Whereas the shirt with the roller lady feels perfectly normal, as it's the fibres themselves that are coloured, and not just some gross sticker heat-pressed against the fabric.

If they went to the effort to get the merchandise rights for WipEout, surely they could have designed some more interesting T-Shirts? They've kinda just lazily printed a logo on the front.
I don't think I can justify spending 45AUD on these.
Oh you're in Melbourne too, cool!
I have the bundle coming here, if you want too see the clothes when I have them, I'll gladly show them to you... here's hoping that they'll still have more to sell by then.
Edit: also, if you're an artsy type, I'd be keen on discussing crafting techniques for the Feisar model I'm planning to make.
Here’s the thing: we all have our expectations. Some of us would have wanted ships, or weapon icons, or on-race action, or whatever. With only 3 shirts available they couldn’t have fulfilled all expectations. With that said we don’t know yet if they’ll be making more (do we?).Quote:

A word about WO shirts though, as long as you create the artwork yourself, you can get away with a lot more. The lines here in the US are a bit fuzzy on legality, but this site: http://www.cafepress.com/dd/48577018, is a good example. As long as the design is different enough, and words like "AG Systems" aren't used, OR if they are given away as opposed to sold, you can generally get away with more here.
I'm getting the bundle and whilst the price isn't as cheap as I'd like it to be, for official WipEout merch I'm afraid I'd be willing to sell an arm and a leg! I have their The Last of Us Green Firefly Hoodie and it is amazing quality, seriously good stuff, wearing it right now in fact.Quote:

And yes, I AM a bit underwhelmed by the designs because looking at their other clothing ranges, it's clear they put in next to no effort with these, frankly. I just hope that them seeing the demand for these lets them know we're wanting to pay and the market for it is there, so that they might make more use of the IP.
So. Still no news about a possible shipping date.
I won't even bother sending an e-mail at this point.
I think it's utter bullshit considering the price we paid for a preorder.
And as I'm expecting the quality to be quite medium, I think I'll just go and get myself some custom made T-shirts.
Either here: http://www.redbubble.com/shop/wipeout
Or at my local T-shirt printer.
I remember being told or reading somewhere that they'd be shipping later this month.
I'm hearing that those with pre-orders are getting shipping confirmation.
Oh gosh, Hellfire is hearing voices. Were you touched by the Light?
I haven't heard anything yet, but then, I'm over in the states, so maybe mine is getting processed later? Not sure. When I hear something I'll post about it here.
Yeah, one of my lamps fell over and twatted me on the head ;)Quote:

Still no news, but it's Australia after all, can't ask for too much.
In the meantime, I've finally put a name on the perfect printing process for T-shirts, it's called DTG = Direct to Garment.
Here's to hoping that the IC guys have heard about it!
Some people have been getting them already, Ami retweeted someone who got it 4 days ago (UK person)
So they'll arrive in due time, might just take a while shipping i guess, still haven't bought em myself tbh, i don't want to burst in tears after washing them ;-;
Cipher
Looking at InsertCoin's site, it seems that the FEISAR T-shirt and the F3600 hoodie are now available for purchase, but the AG Systems one is still listed as pre-order. I'm willing to bet that if you're still waiting for shipping confirmation you have the AG Systems shirt in your order.
Good observation 8)
My FEISAR shirt arrived last week. I like the print, but it does look as though it might start to crack eventually. Hopefully just following the washing instructions should help to avoid that. I ain't complaining though - it's a comfortable shirt, not to mention official wipeout merch!
