No worries,

LEGO Wear is a licensed product made by a company named Kabooki. See the
official LEGO site for more info: http://www.lego.com/wear/

Actualy, the clothing looks to be very high quality, and I can't wait for it
to be readily available in the states...my kids are going to LOVE it!

On May 26, in several Dutch regional newspapers an article emereged about
Lego T-shirts that are equiped with an integrated sound module. The shirts
are printed with a special conduive printing material, and the sounds are
operated by touching certain printed areas. The small soundbox is detachable
from the shirt to enable washing these.
According to the article 2 versions are avalable currently. The first one is
a white shirt with eight european flags, and when you tip a flag, the shirt
says "hello" in the corresponding language. There was a photo of this
version with the article, the flags are on a wire-frame globe, also two
adverture theme minifigs and a vertical banner saying "LEGO © WEAR".
The second version is a blue shirt having a Studio theme, the article gives
only two examples of the sounds this shirt can produce: the film directors
phrase "Action" and the roaring of a T-Rex.
Plans are for more shirts by the end of this month (A pink shirt for girls
did get mentioned) Price per shirt is 59,95 Dutch Guilder (about 25.27 US
Dollar)
If you would like to read the full article (in Dutch), I've posted it in the
"Local/Nederland" newsgroup (see:  http://news.lugnet.com/loc/nl/?n=831 )

Personaly, I'm not sure what to think of this. These shirts don't seem to
say: "We will refocus on our core business". And I certainly hope very very
much this was not supposed to be the July surprise.

Greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
