Star Trek XI - Cheez-It T-Shirts Arrived!

[Garibaldi O'brien]

Yes, they charged my card in April, but finally they have arrived. At $10 bucks a shirt, and 100% polyester, I was skeptical...

So I wore the Spock on today (I'm on vacation), and really, no one noticed who wasn't a Trek fan. So they have that going for them.

Definitely going to be my Halloween costume. Posting pics...

The Science shirt

Here are the others, with some Star Wars boobleheads, well cause they just came too...

Game on!

Super cool! Thank you for posting pics! I got the USB wristband this past Friday, and the shirts should be here by next week.

I ordered the blue and gold for me, and my daughter wanted the red one, so she can dress up like Uhura.

Once we get them, I'll post a pic!

Very nice; thanks for posting! And -- nice vacation spot, too.

Ooooh, I want one. Except I hate V-neck shirts.

 

[Garibaldi O'brien]

They are surprisingly comfortable, cause I hate 100% poly. shirts. I walked my dog in the science officer version, and they were totally comfy. They are that athletic breathable material, to simulate the texture on the real shirts. Hardly 100% match, but my landing party won't be sweating their asses off @ Guavaween in October.

KirkusOveractus - I am awaiting the USB drive myself... Do you remember when u ordered yours?
/impatient, but happy.

@ Least in Chicago, where I am vacationing, the Trek Cheez-it boxes are still on the shelf, and the offer is good till July 31 iirc... 6-8 weeks for delivery from China, but they were better than I expected. All of those are the "large" size. I am still awaiting my XL-3 versions; just to be safe... lol!

I will have to check at the Jewel. I actually like Cheeze-Its.

And no wonder I liked your vacation spot.

Yes, being from Florida, it seems like summer heaven right now, but I'm glad I'm out way before the snow.

We went to the Taste of Chicago over the weekend, and it was great. Such thick, tasty pizza! I shall miss it the most, when I leave... screw my friends! That is some fine deep dish!

Where are those coming from? Any links?

Hope the FLICKR link works, that's the coupon I used but it is on the inside of the Trek branded Cheez-It's. u need three coupons - one for each color shirt, but just one form.

ACT NOW WHILE SUPPLIES LAST - ONLY $10 PER SHIRT - RIP Billy Mayes

Got to admit the gold shirt looked nice and I wouldn't mind buying one though black might be a better colour for you know wearing it outside among people

I sent for it in mid-April, I think. Kellogg's order tracking page had them posting it as of 4/28, and shipped on 6/11. I got it about 6/26.

Frankly, I'm surprised how slowly the orders are taking to get out. The shirts do look worth the wait, though. I was half thinking they would just be those T-Shirts that are being sold everywhere, that look like TOS uniforms but regular T-Shirts.

These look better than those, and the gold will definitely be my Halloween costume this year.

 

[KirkusOveractus]

BTW, is that your Stang GT?

 

[Garibaldi O'brien]

Yes, that is my baby. I figure it works with the shirt.

I am threatening it with replacement with a, *Toyota Corolla*, because Ford keeps recalling it little things, like sudden, unexpected acceleration. Thank god I drive a stick. It also keeps like 95% of people from even considering driving my baby. We're getting so close to hover-conversion kits, if BTTF isn't lying to us! A hover-stang powered by Mr. Fusion! *dreams*

I can't afford to keep more than two cars @ a time with this economy, and you will not see me driving a Prius/Volt*beta* test car until after the first exploding battery recall. I have owned a lot of Mustangs tho, and Ford does seem to be only US automaker that's still trying to make money without my tax dollars.

OMG i must possess at least one of these shirts!! They are awesome and sucha deal!! Hoping my stupormarket has those boxes with the offer.

Thanks so much for posting the pictures!

What was on the flashdrive...it says it was preloaded...please advise...

New York has the best pizza.

Garibaldi - I'm a big Mustang fan myself! Favorite car in the world! Someone up the road from me is selling his 1965, and I'm talking with him about a price.

I used to have a 1973 Mach I, bought for $400. from someone in NJ in 1993. That thing just roared! The day I bought it, my brother followed me in his car. I hit a stretch of road that no one was on, and my brother said the next thing he saw was a blue flash and nothing! Wish I still had it!

Maybe the 1965 deal will work out...

Cakes- The wristband is a 1 GB flash (I think), and loaded on it is a screensaver for Mac or PC, and wallpapers that were mainly on the official movie website.

For what it is, I like it. Plus, there is plenty of extra storage space, so I can put some music or something on it.

BTW, you have not lived until you've had Lou Malnati's in the Chicagoland area! First stop we make when we visit my wife's uncle and aunt out there (even before we hit Wrigley for a Cubs game!)

^^ Thank you Kirk...I'm going to focus my efforts on getting the T-shirt and the plate...the Tshirt looks awesome and I'm wearing it out in public...I don't give two shits what people think...I shall wear it with pride!

 

[KirkusOveractus]

^^No problem, Cakes! I'm with ya on wearing the shirt out and with pride! In fact, before I could locate a Kellogg's product with the offer, I didn't think I would find one and made myself a T-Shirt (yellow cotton T with the movie Command emblem printed onto a transfer and ironed on - looks good!).

I've worn it quite a bit, and I actually get people telling me it looks cool!

So, not only am I hoping to wear these shirts out, I'm planning on it!

 

[Garibaldi O'brien]

Well we're all canon violators with these Cheez-it ones. The logos are obviously done off a beta version, while JJ was still perfecting them with his creative time. Still, the material looks like the costume material in the movie, and you could always clip a next gen badge, or sew on a TOS one, and just violate that dirty canon 10 different ways.

All while enjoying the delicious snacky taste of Cheez-It's. Dr. Venkman's perferred snack.

Ok costume freaks, have it it about the Cheez-it chinese factory shirts!
I say cause they are 100% polyester and would go up in flames dramtically with a low-stun setting, that these would meet Starfleet uniform standards of the day. And no, not lighting my uniform on fire to find out if a burn ward is as bad as people say. I am still mourning the death of James "Burger King Glass" Kirk.

I have only the Spock glass to drink from now. I fear killing my backup BK nexus Kirk glass. And there are no more under $10... craigslist!!!!
