Have we officially moved from stage 1 (automatic hatred of anything Lux/new/non-Jannard)?

Lol I have forgotten the stages til you mentioned it. I am in the acceptance stage. Those are for the haters that can never get pass stage 1.

I don't remember what I wrote or what release it was about (I'm thinking when the Wally Lopez Garage Rocks were on the Vault and a lot of people got them?). I think it was;

1. Automatic dislike. Griping about reiterative design, recycled names, should-have changes, lack of colors, too many colors; take your pick.
2. A few people buy them on release
3. Gradual acceptance
4. Widespread collecting

Something like that. I did a search, I can't find it.

Found this in a Carbon Blade thread;

And just like most of the new releases, it endures

The 5 Stages of an Oakley Release
1. Announcement
2. Forum lashing (uninspired, copied, derivative, China, Lux, etc)
3. Members get their hands on some
4. Reluctant acceptance
5. Widespread collecting

I think the Carbon Blade is at stage 4 right now.

That ice pair looks good. I'm not a fan of the Ferrari so much, hadn't seen real pics of most yet. I'd like to see them on more faces. @@Cargo looks pretty good in his. I think if the weave were a touch more pronounced the pair above would be intoxicating.

I think the new Ferrari CB's are the BOMB!!!

I feel like it's a pair that actually suits my face... But not my wallet...

I completely agree! I wasn't fond of the CB when it was released and then when I was at the collector's event I made the purchase. Now I wear them a ton.

I just sold a pair for £150 on eBay. Maybe I shoulda kept hold of em.

Wait... What?

Did you pay for em? Sample? Why did you sell em that low?
