I ate a chili pepper and when I woke up, this site was here.
Websites
Around Summer 2002, I was spending money on nothing but bills for school and who knows what. My brother had just gotten Scars, to which my impression was "that's really dumb to spend all that money on sunglasses", but then I tried them on and really noticed the difference in quality. I'd never seen a lens be so clear before. My comment was Everything looks like the Autolevel function in Photoshop. What a nerd I am sometimes. At that point the Splice came out and my brother wished he had waited and gotten that instead. So one day when I was at a cookout playing hooky from work, the one shred of champagne taste that I had kicked in and I decided to get a pair

After that, I got a pair of minutes, but they were too girly and didn't look like the online picture, so I gave those to my sister and then got a pair of leather Mars, since they were so odd. That lead to a pair of 24k X-Metal XX's, and a Time Bomb. Then on and on and on. Once the site took off, it was all over. I think I had a dozen or so when that happened.

I believe that to be the case. Based on the price difference, it would make sense that the case wouldn't differ, just the comments. Since arrays formally appeared later, "fully loaded" seemed to be the choice terminology.

Love when they went all-out with the packaging.

You need to paste the image source URL vs the one for the page. Fixed.

It's the original Valve in the standard Black colorway:

I'm spoiled from a time where these were much cheaper. However if you look at the prices for ordinary display cases in small businesses, those can be in the $600 range, so it's not out of the ordinary, and it's Oakley, so a bit more special.

It could be a generational thing. I recall things like the Gascan and Monster Dog either added the embossed logo, or swapped sides down the line. Everything else looks good including the box, and being new-old-stock at a shop is a positive.

Yep, Monster Dog. They vary in price on ebay, but you'll find one decently priced if you're patient.
