Fans of Robbie Williams had the rare opportunity to snap up all manner of rare merchandise in Sydney this week.
The British pop star opened Shoppie Williams on Sydney's Oxford Street on November 11, and showed up in person to sing a few tunes.
Shoppie Williams also opened in Melbourne between November 1 and November 11.
The Sydney store closed down by November 14, but before the pop-up was shuttered, scores of fans were able to pick up items including shirts, beach towels, tea towels and tote bags.
Also on offer were Robbie's infamous tiger underpants, which he famously wore in the Rock DJ music video.
A row of the undies could be seen in the window of the Sydney store, where Robbie-themed Christmas cards, bum bags and postcards were also on sale.

Long-sleeved shirts rang in at $140, while Christmas cards could be purchased for just $5 each.
Williams has played a series of gigs in Australia as part of his BRITPOP World Tour.
He thrilled his Aussie fans on Wednesday night when he took a moment out of his Melbourne gig to single out a former groupie.
The singer was on stage at Marvel Stadium as part of his BRITPOP World Tour when he spotted a fan in the crowd whom he had previously slept with.
'I think the city is mine. I think this is where I belong,' the 52-year-old began to cheers from the audience.

'So, I shouldn't really share this, but I saw one fan that I slept with in the '90s over there,' Williams continued, pointing at someone in the crowd.
He then turned the comment into a joke as cameras in the stadium focussed instead on a bearded man among the audience.
'I almost didn't recognise him because he's got a beard now!' Williams joked as video of the man appeared on the giant screens behind him.
'Such a gentle lover he was, as well. Nice to see you again!' Williams added, leaving the man blushing and laughing.
Hoots and laughter erupted from the 50,000-strong crowd that had shown up to watch the chart-topping pop star tear through an energetic set of his biggest hits.
Williams will next perform in Newcastle, NSW, before fronting gigs in Brisbane and Woolloongabba in Queensland.
