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 liking it more without the nosepiece (when worn), even if that gives it its distinctive look.

Nice. Thanks for the photos. Still a bit high, but nice to see the presentation and all the extras. Feels like some care went into it. Would be nice to have a non collector package later on with a more palatable price point for actual use.

Congrats to those who got one. Amazing how quickly these go.

Fair, I just feel like I have to sit by the sidelines with a brand I used to really eat up. Even the normal released are priced in a way where I can't really envision picking much up when it's new.

Things like this would be cool to have for the collection, so I don't dislike the concept, but unlike other oddities like the AP Leg Holster, I could actually get them, and for a reasonable price. I don't think I'm alone in feeling the pain in my wallet lately.

Ugh, sorry that didn't go well. I was only joking about the '1' of 1000, but I guess I was somehow accidentally right.

Those live up to the Retina Burn name for sure. Intense.

I guess technically it's '1' of 1000.

Nice one on the Subs! That's something that would have been hard even 20 years ago

I will refrain from buying, so consider that an act of charity.

Cool pair, and I love the presentation. But like always, I'm not a high roller, so I have to sit these $500+ special editions out.

If it were a proto, it would make a little sense. After the Scar was discontinued, the Valve and Plate took its place. Perhaps the Valve was meant to be a Scar S of sorts but then the cost of it prohibited a wider release, so they put more effort into the Plate with the higher price point.

Good to see you around. Almost got that Pair but opted for the Metal version instead.
