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'm Zach, sorry I'm not on here alot I read on here just don't comment alot. - zwc0442
Thanks for stopping by. Awesome that M-E is doing what they're doing. I've added all the exclusives to the database, so they can be remembered.
So this kinda is the new Oakley of old day... Jammin Jannard in charge with Jim overseeing and the team being told to make it like old Oakley took care of its customers +1. They embraced us on the other forum from the beginning and have brought almost everything that we have suggested and was reasonable to fruition. - xXRumkaXx
Also good to hear. Let them know they're welcome to stop by here. I know it's not the juggernaut it once was, but we've been dedicated to his brand for over two decades now.

They're nice, but don't fit as flush as the originals. The sharp angles sort of detract from what made the EJ1 live up to its name as a Jacket.

The only Titanium frames currently available would be thinner models like wires. You may be thinking of the Romeo, but that only ran from 1997 into the 2000s, and command a higher price these days.

Interesting. There have been so many collections over the years, it's hard to determine what had which features. All to often, it was just a color theme.

Maybe they'll bring out the old FMJ ovens and finally make your FMJ Copper.

It's funny how feverish people here were about the deep red Ruby back in 2005-ish. That hue was difficult to achieve consistently, so eventually more orange variants would slip out. It was made worse by the screen-worn Juliets in X-Men, which weren't meant to be worn outside the movie. Now it's everywhere with ease.
Nice video.

Odd, since the Frag stem has the hollow bit in the middle:
And Twin Shock is thicker, but not that pattern:
But I think the main red flag is the Made in USA stamp, since metal frames and RX generally aren't made here. Assembled in USA would be the only closest thing.

Was the big box presentation not a real thing?

They should, but the true test will be if the Mountain Dew glasses fit:

That will probably be the difference. Charge more, produce less. Get the collecting market to sweep up inventory the first time around.

Great pair. The Elite collection was too short lived.

They look nice, I'm just curious how these will fair. I remember the Heritage editions being liquidated for $30 and they still took ages to sell.

Excellent. Now fill it instantly, as is the case with all new case pickups.
