Calling all you Sci-Fi movie lovers in the land! Yep as we're sure you've heard, the 1987 cult classic RoboCop has had a full metal-faced remake and is ready for duty as he hits the Detroit streets once again in full cinematic special effects glory today!

So what did we love about the classic? Well aside from some all our action sequences, one of the charms of the RoboCop story is its ability to work on a few different levels. Bare with us.... At the surface it works as a science fiction film, however it also gives us plenty to love as an action thriller, as a social satire flick, and as a poignant human tragedy story.

So what's the story? The film takes place like all good sci-fi flicks in the future, more precisely in Detroit USA, a city full of gangs and crime. In an attempt to stamp out crime, robots have been put into play with pretty low success. After a hero cop is killed in the line of duty, okay not totally killed then, scientists discover a way to combine him with a robot to create a super-being made of half-man, half-machine that operates with perfect logic except for the shreds of human spontaneity and intuition that may be lurking somewhere in the background of its memory.

Pretty typical stuff right? :)

If you like the sounds of this 80s classic combined with some bang up-to-date special effects and crafty camera work, this is the film for you. Take a peep at the trailer for even more robot goodness....

Transformer fans unite! To celebrate the release of our amazing new and exclusive Transformers clothing, we've been searching the interwebs high and low for some amazing nuggets of retro information about the coolest Alien robots around. We just love to keep you clued up huh! :)

For over three decades, our lives have been influenced, impacted, transformed by giant robots from the far away planet Cybertron.  For them, it has been millennia of civil war, fights and trouble, but for us, it has been decades (scary!) of watching, playing and loving these iconic Autobots and Decepticons.

However you came to love these guys, sit back and enjoy our perhaps slightly hidden treasures of some of the most iconic retro characters ever!

1. According to Bob Budiansky, the writer for the Marvel Comics series, Hasbro originally thought the name Megatron sounded too villainous. Budiansky pointed out that was the point and Hasbro went along with the suggestion. Thank you Bob. The evil Decepticon could be known as nothing else!2. Fans of the cartoon Robotech found an odd similarity between the Valkyrie jet-transforming-robot suits and the action figure of Autobot Skyfire. In Japan, they used the same model to produce both toys. In the cartoon, the Decepticon-turned Autobot giant jet didn’t look like the alien-killing Robotech vehicles. But when kids received Skyfire the toy, many little heads were scratched.

3. The Transformers began with the 1980s Japanese toy lines Microman and Diaclone.

4. Optimus Prime's original name before he became Autobot leader was Orion Pax in the television series. Orion is the mythological Greek hunter while Pax is Latin for peace. In Latin, Optimus means "best"; "Prime" comes from primus, meaning "first".

5. The first Transformer to appear on the series was Wheeljack.

Just about as retro nostalgia as they come! That's right folks, Tie-dye had a major moment from the late '60s to early '70s, then a second coming in the '90s, and now it’s back!

Before now the very mention of tie dye would conjure up images of 60 festivals and summer camps or a Grateful Dead tour, even then stretching to 90s where it became a challenge to see how many bright colours you could wear at once. Now it seems it's back and perhaps a little more dignified but with much added style.

Always wanting to ride high on the latest trend wave, we just had to get to work and create some of our very own and exclusive designs that are a perfect mix of retro style and bang up to date style icon!

Available in a unisex shape, each have been lovingly dyed by hand with some of the funkiest and brightest colours going to give your style a punch of colour and some added wow factor. Check out our latest Tie Dye T-Shirts designs available for only £14.99...
