Once again, it’s time for you guys to tell us which designs you want to see on the site.  We’ve bought back a few of our favourite characters and brands and given them a fresh new design twist and we would love to hear your opinion on them! Featuring the likes of Sesame Street, Slush Puppie and Lassie to name but a few, to have your say on what makes it onto the pages of TruffleShuffle.com, simply head over to our Facebook page HERE and get voting. Like or comment on the ones you love (or hate) and our buyers will take all your feedback on board when deciding which ones to go into production with. The power is in your hands!

You can also tell us what colour tees you’d like to see the designs on and whether you want to see them available for men, women or both of course!

Being a bit of an old skool gamer myself, the shirt that gets my personal vote would have to be the super retro, 8-bit, Sesame Street Invaders tee. Loving the super blocky pixel style graphics, Elmo and the gang have never looked better!  It takes me back to my childhood days of being glued to the TV and playing my NES from morning to night.

Have to say though, I also have a bit of a soft spot for the super cool and chilled out Slush Puppie ‘Just Chillin’ tee.  Makes me wish I could be teleported to some far away beach to relax with some sun, sea, sand and a slush puppie!

Also make sure you check out the return of loveable characters like Penny Crayon, Charlie Chalk and brand favourites like Sprite and Dr Pepper. What’s the worst that can happen?

Star Wars and Call of Duty fans will love this unofficial mod which turns your PC copy of Modern Warfare into an epic game of galactic battling. In development since 2009, it's called Star Wars Mod: Galactic Warfare, and is the product of a team of German coders called BlackMonkeys. Check out the video trailer below for a sneaky peek of what to expect....

As The Guardian reports, It's a total conversion so all the environments, weapons and characters have been re-skinned to fit within the Star Wars universe. Players can choose to become troopers in the Imperial Forces or soldiers of the Rebel Alliance, before scrapping it out over seven maps including Mos Eisley, Bespin and Jundland. Of course, as it's a mod, you'll need the PC version of CoD: Modern Warfare, but if you already own the game, you have little excuse not to download, install and start deathmatching on the deadly sands of Tatooine. We  just hope the legal depts at LucasFilm and Activision will turn a blind eye!

Anyone had a play yet?

If like me you were tranform-erly (is that a word?) neglected as a child because ones parents realised Transformers was a massive marketing ploy by Hasbro to get kids to buy toys and therefore your only transformer was a cheap market knock off 'Santa' got you for Xmas (I never realised Santa was a tight wad), then you'll be pretty excited about the upcoming Transformers dark of the moon movie which is released THIS WEEK!

I know for a fact I am. After watching the first 2 movies without blinking once, I can confirm they were every adult Transformers fans dream (well mine anyway!) I swear I was clinically blinded by all the explosions followed closely by a near motorcycle accident on the way home because I was willing my bike to turn into a giant robot (in case you were wondering, I wanted it to be a decepticon which I’d name Bones and we’d be awesome together OK.)

Therefore, I’m expecting more explosions, lasers, guns, giant robots and a few more explosions followed closely by bleeding eyeballs and fits of epilepsy when I leave the cinema for the third instalment of the hugely popular franchise. If that happens, I'll be a happy boy! If it doesn't, those Autobots had better watch out.

Reviews have been mixed so far with The Daily Mail saying

TruffleShuffle Health Warning.....Junk Food will seriously affect your health.....y addiction to cool retro t-shirts!

Having seen many t-shirts grace the shelves of TruffleShuffle over the years, Junk Food definitely has to be my favourite brand. I originally fell in love with the soft figure hugging t-shirts, however – this romance has been kept alive due to Junk Foods ability to develop as a brand – offer more styles, more awesome designs – on different fabrics.

Recently moving house and downsizing gave me the opportunity to examine my wardrobe – asking my t-shirts random questions like; Have I worn you in the last year? Do you go with everything? Were you an impulse buy? I realised I couldn’t part with any of my Junk Food t-shirts as they all add something unique and quirky to my collection.

Starting with the Ladies Junk Food t-shirts, I thought I would have a closer look at the brand and choose my top 5 designs.

Junk Food are famous for their Super Hero collection and with designs like this – it’s clear why. I love this tee because it’s really fitted, such a nice colour for my summer wardrobe and features a quirky picture of my favourite super hero!

We have recently added some exciting new shapes – including this amazing design from Junk Food. I love this shape as it's really feminine whilst showing my appreciation for Star Wars!

Hi my name’s Simon and I’m a Chunkaholic. There I said it. Now, If you haven’t come across any of our men’s T-shirts from Chunk then you’re in for a right treat. I’ll start with a quick history lesson...

Chunk started back in 2001 having launched some designs all based on the Haynes Car Manuals iconic cover illustrations. Ten years on and Chunk is now one of the UK’s leading urban street-wear labels. Chunk’s ethos was, and still is, to produce great designs on quality garments, targeting 18-35 year old males with a strong emphasis on cool nostalgia. Famous for their bold graphics, tongue-in-cheek humour and unique design quirks, Chunk now has worked with some of the biggest licenses in the world, which include Marvel, Hanna Barbera, Fremantle Media (Danger Mouse) and Lucas Films (Star Wars) – for which Chunk won a licensing award in 2007 for its Star Wars range. The future promises to be incredibly bright for Chunk as the brand expands into even more retro goodness further cementing its reputation as a great British brand.

With TruffleShuffle.com offering a massive range of amazing retro t-shirts, gifts and accessories we get to see cool new stuff all the time. But for me nothing matches the excitement of a new Chunk catalogue turning up because I know it will be full of amazing new designs. It’s their ‘outside the box’ approach to designing a t-shirt that I love, generally taking a familiar character such as Darth Vader or Mr.T and putting them in an unusual situation, IT’S GENIUS. I could only wish that when I’m down at the coast for a cheeky weekend surf that I catch a Stormtrooper ‘out the back’ riding that perfect wave or driving past my local scrap yard would reveal that Mr.T, Luke and Bo Duke, Michael Knight and the Trotters famous ‘rides’ had reached the end of their lives (probably due to the government Scrappage scheme!!). Only t-shirts from Chunk make this happen.

Here’s some of my current favourites T-shirts from Chunk that you can buy RIGHT NOW!
