GWP for the holidays are back. Hand painted splatter hard cases. It's basically these:

Very "meh" from what I've seen, but I'm sure you'll like them. I think it's a December 5 release, but it might be for Black Friday. I forget.

F&F sale on November 8 to 15.

Might be a cool addition. A pseudo-stand for glasses if nothing else.

Agreed it's a bit underwhelming but also agree that they could be cool for a secondary display piece.

These sales happening this time of year sorta stress me out. Ha Ha. I try to keep track of them so I have a basic idea of what is coming up from year to year. Nothing is guaranteed though. That being said I wonder if they'll drop another F&F closer to Christmas. They usually do but again there's no guarantee. Hence the stress. LOL. Doing both would be ideal and awesome, but not always feasible.

To be honest they've been good with sales and offers lately. So there are more opportunities these days to not pay retail via o.com. Which is nice.

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.

picture of splatter case?

Official pics probably in 3 weeks. It might be someone is willing to break code and show the behind-the-scenes production pics, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

No pictures yet? Too early....

Did someone go dumpster diving for these:P

Those better be a gift with purchase

What a let down..

I could just get mine and spray paint them in my garage.

If the “O” was colored on the case it may have dressed it up some, but yeah… boo:/

There are many variations on the splatter case. I don’t know if the painter simply half-assed some of them or if he was implementing a different design concept, but there are many that looked so anemic that it seemed there was a shortage of paint:


Then there are others that have a lot more colour on them:


These were painted by Dave “Persue” Ross, a street artist of some notoriety, which makes some of the results even more disappointing. But then again these were a gift with purchase, so meh, you get what you get since it’s free.

Interesting collectable, but it was an easy pass given current finances
