Anyone buy one of the 'Limited Edition Vintage E-wires'?

My first pair of Oakleys was a set of gold/gold e-wires back in the day.

I loved them at the time, and when I got the email from Oakley saying they were releasing a limited edition of the exact same version I had, I've been wondering if I should buy a pair ever since.

So does anyone have any experience with them?? what did you think?

thanks!

Instead of being original and coming out with new exciting designs, IMHO Oakley is trying to re-kindle some excitement by bringing back old stock.

This isn't a bad thing if you had a pair that you need to replace, but i've been able to pick up original release e-wires on CL/ebay/etc. for relatively cheap so i didn't see a need to pay full price.
 
I bought a pair around Christmas, mainly so I could get one of the promo grips. They're just fine, and are very close to the originals. If you liked the originals, you will like the 2013 version. Sure, they're a lame cash grab by Lux, and they are overpriced, but it could have been worse.
