All set. Those look great

He pulled through on the fallout inspired stuff. - Dann

who me?

In regards to Chris J's post, your pictures inspired me to go have a look at those pairs. Thank you because now not only do I own them but I was able to pick up something even more special while there... Thanks again...

I am confused. It says they will be available online Dec 1. I keep looking, but I can't find them. What are they already sold out?

Yes, the TieDye's were online and sold out in hours, and the rest were in-store only.

Well so much for that. It's part of the reason why I am starting to get tired of collecting.

Feb and April will be bring some good general release items.

Use to be at least you had a fighting chance. Not anymore. Either they are too expensive or too limited. I guess now they are in the hands of the scalpers.

Oakley, more than any other hobby I've been in (and I have A LOT of hobbies), is unique in that every second item is considered rare or cool by collectors. It's frustrating sometimes to miss out on stuff you want, but i always give the advice to look forward. For every item you miss, there's a couple better ones that you have opportunities to get. It's a hobby where there's not a handful of holy gails that thousands of collectors are after; it's literally thousands of holy grails with a handful (or more) of collectors going after each.

So in short: don't get put off on missing something. There's more where that came from.

I hear you. But my point when I first started collecting Oakley's back in the 80's they were just Oakley's and if you wanted them all you had to do is go to a surf, bike, or skate shop and get them. Now, you have to sit up late refreshing your screen or stand outside a store in a different city just to maybe get your hands a pair you might like. If you don't, then you have to deal with some scalper that's trying to 1000's of dollars for them. It's not frustrating, it's just stupid.

Anyway, I didn't mean to start this discussion in this forum. I was just looking for info.

I feel your pain. I got tired of Oakley collecting, too (but for entirely different reasons). Now I'm just a fan of the brand and products again, and don't classify myself as a collector. Anyhoo, all the best with getting any other Concept Studio glasses you fancy!

That's just it. It's not going to happen. I am not going to pay some scalper for them. I am just going to have to write them off.

Here's what I have so far:

700285982274 1-765 BT Factory Pilot Frogkins

Sweet. Thanks

Round 2 in the works for next season

While I see alot of fuel cell in there, I think I may see something new also!

Hmm, you're right.

Turbine?

Looks more like the Holbrook killer

I believe I spotted the Turbine up at the top too Ruben.

I was really hoping for a Madman Concept Studio piece. Not that the stores I can get to will receive it (will probably get a Fuel Cell or Catalyst or the like), but it's cool to wish. Should be cool whatever comes out; Brian does nice work.

i would like to be able to have a chance to get any of these, along with many other people. always makes me sad in the pants when i see them on ebay to sell for profit ... im not saying not to make money so you can buy other stuff, im saying the 10K price tags

Looks like the inspiration went to Apparel :

Saw that the other day. Awesome color options.
