They are in between Fuel Cell and Gascan in size. All reports have them selling really well. Some locations they are even out selling Gascan.

How many pairs of each were there? I would loved to have gotten a pair :) - JP
I don't think they have officially been released. When they first popped up I called my local flagship and they said they were not supposed to be out in the wild yet.
What I've seen is that there are a few stores (maybe down in the FLorida area ;) ) that seem to sell stuff before the release dates. Same thing happened on the MUZM Mumbo set. The store sold their pairs pre release and an unboxing video was made and posted where the guy who bought them thanked the store manager by name... - MicahS
Now I need to see this Video. LOL

The one in Nov is the Christmas-time “F&F”. In-store only. The online version is happening right now check your email for an MVP Appreciation email that will be it.

That new symbol means that they are made with the new Bio-matter. If I’m not mistaken, recycled frames. - Chattabox23
Correct.

Well the taking shots at brands isn’t cool. Let your product speak for itself. If it’s good then there’s no need to say anything. Well not about or towards anyone else at least. Just my two cents. LOL - yelkao
Tell that to Samsung. LOL

Not much to say here other than Sylas is getting a big brother. Much like Holbrook has the Holbrook XL for a larger lens and fit. Sylas XL takes Sylas from a smaller fit to more of a medium fit.

In real life these are much more new-age razor blades than the photos make them look. I still feel like they are meant to shut up the Pit Viper people but they look much better.

These things are much better-looking IRL. They are basically using the Kato as the lens blank so the nose piece still attaches to the lens instead of the frame and you can actually see a bit of the “beak” when you look at them up close.

Oakley Retail gets these early, I’m interested to see exactly how small (or not small) these are. This is the first modern-era attempt to make a youth frame that isn’t just a smaller adult pair.

Oakley Retail gets these early, (3 weeks early I think). Will be interesting to see how big they are. I’m thinking Portal sized but I could be wrong. Haven’t seen them in person.

Meant to go directly against Pit Viper.

According to o.com the Tour Kato is: OO9455-1749
So I'm thinking as of right now it doesn't have the redesigned mounting. - yelkao
It should be the new version. I think the added M is just for the colors that were around for befor the change.

Think it’s just because these are meant to be a big deal so they had a full run of photo shots for media and promotional use. So instead do using the renders they just used the actual photos they already had.

I saw that promo codes are excluded on this model, so I guess they're in some middle ground between LE and general release. - Dann

If you mean the RE version. It's because they are made using the same process as Encoder and Kato which apparently is a real manufacturing PITA. Even employees can't get a discount on any of those models. They just can't make them fast enough to keep up with demand.

My pair came scratched :(
No chance of a replacement since they're now sold out. - Johnt
Reach out to customer support I would imagine there is a batch of parts held back for repairs and what not.

So basically you have a liquor store in your house. I see a lot of nice stuff there.

Has anyone seen, or have sku information, on the Unity Encoder? Any official images? I was going tonout an entry in the database for it. - MicahS

Same frame color as the Radar EV but I think it's a road lens (or maybe Sapphire)

I still have mine, all beaten up. Thumbprint sensor still dead.
I've had a cracked screen protection that I don't even care replacing considering that a replacement one is a pain to get in switzerland.
And the back camera glass seems cracked also.
All corners paint is now gone.
I'm not taking 3D pictures anymore, and I'm not going on Holopix anymore either.
But I still use it and will still use it as long as it lives, or until I have to switch to something new for a software reason (security, criticial app not updating anymore ...). Then I'll keep it as a cool object in one of my Oakley displays :) - BiGCoB
Mine is sitting in my display case as well. I actually pulled it out to play with yesterday and the dam thing won’t take my PIN to boot up. I have used the same PIN on phones for years so I can’t imagine I forgot it. - Defenderoftheo
Maybe it just reset itself to the factory one ?
Have you tried it ?
- BiGCoB
Thanks for the idea, didn't work though. =(

Okay those look better in the not purple options. I’m curious if these curved stems we are seeing are swapable? Like the Blades so you can get the curved and a strait set, mix and match and so forth. My gut says that has to be what they are doing
