You might not present yourself as the stereotypical geek. (I don't think I do...I usually get the 'are you in a band?' question,) but make no mistake, you have a geek side to you.

There should be degrees then based on the number of shelves (or rooms) your collection takes up. Personally, I'm at 5 bookshelves, an entertainment center, a bar, and 8 of those plastic drawer things.

On a different note, Anyone got any estimation as to when these shirts start shipping?

I think the site said the shirts are printed after ordered and will be shipped within two weeks.

I'm at a 15x15 basement and a 10x10 storage unit.

Sure, we could do that. But the point I was getting at is, even if TFs happened to be considered trendy or hip, once you get past about shelf full or so, you can't really hide behind the notion that you're some sort of hipster with a casual TF collection. You've now graduated to official geek status...

My wife was making fun of some dude one of her co-workers was dating for doing some lame treasure hunting game of some sort and how dorky it was...the co-worker came back at her with the fact that her husband has a room full of Transformers. What more could my wife say?

Just received a shipping notification via email.

Anyone else get theirs?

Aye, just got mine as well. Talk about fast, I was expecting it to be at least 2 weeks before it shipped, what with the order volume I imagine they received and all. My guess is these folks have been making a lot of coffee

Got mine as well. That was quick.

Same here. As always, I'm impressed with my buddy Paul's company. Kudos to Paul and RIPT Apparel. Can't wait to get my shirt.

I'm curious to know if this has happened to anyone else. I got standard ($3) shipping on my shirt. It came today and, low and behold, it was inadequate postage. I had to leave money for the flippin mailman because the money I paid them apparently didn't cover the full shipping cost. Horribly unprofessional, IMHO.

I received mine today no problem. I didn't look at the package but I'm assuming that they shipped it via First Class. First Class covers up to 13 ounces for shipping unless they have a handling fee as well. If it weighs more than 13 ounces, it has to be shipped via Priority Mail or some other service.

How much did the post office say you owed for shipping? I always thought the post office would send the item back to the original shipper and tell them invalid postage ... I've never heard of a package recipient being charged more for the cost of an item's shipping if the shipper didn't pay enough. You must have a really strict post office!

You should contact RIPT instead of saying that's "horribly unprofessional". Could have just been an honest mistake when weighing your package, and we're only talking about 20 to 40 cents max for one shirt, unless you ordered multiple shirts and it was still shipped at the 1 shirt weight.

Already contacted them. Haven't heard back at this point. It was an additional 40 cents on top of the $3 I already paid...the mailman just put a little envelope taped to the package that said "You owe this" and expects it left in the mailbox on Monday.

It's Easter weekend. You probably won't hear back from them until Monday at the earliest. It's 40 cents ... I wouldn't get too bent out of shape over it. I'm sure it's an honest mistake. Cut them a little slack. You got an awesome shirt, no sense letting forty cents ruin your experience. I'm sure they will be more than happy to resolve the problem for you.

Just got mine in the mail today. A perfect fit!

Likewise! Mail just ran a lot later than usual and to my surprise, my shirt is already here. Got to give Ript Apparel a nod for an awesomedeal; great product, great prices, and great service! Now to don said awesome shirt and watch some Transformers Prime.
