Paul, that is terribly dreadful news. I was hoping of stealing that specimen when my wife and I blow through your fair city later this month. What will I steal now?
I have been loving my new Brown Sugar/Dark Bronze Hijinx in case anyone was wondering. The vented O is a real nice touch if you haven't already checked it out for yourself.
It kind of hit me while I was driving home tonight. "Did I tell my buddies that I love the Hijinx? Man, I better do that soon" is what I said to myself.....smart ass!
For sure. The Green Black Splatter is definitely worth having too for future reference. Its not even remotely like Metallic Black like the picture suggests.
I second Bill now. Truely awesome. Looks like someone wore them while painting a low ceiling...really resembles a sort of ''paint spills'' splatter to me. The only thing missing is a bright neon green icon. That would've absolutely killed. Oh and it should be vented too. Cuz that's cool.
Nice one Bill. This definitely looks better than the pic shown on the website. But the Icon is black in color?? I ordered a pair thinking the Icon is vented. Nevertheless, I'm gonna love it.
Called the shop I have a Chantry Hijinx on order with last week to check up on it. They checked with their Oakley rep and got a very non-descript "it's not out yet, hope to see it out soon". Very helpful information, I know.
Not all o stores will have it. Only 5 out of 90 will carry it if I remember correctly so a lot of stores (if you talk to a part timer and not a manager) will not know what you are talking about.
I find it amazing that we don't even know the sku or official price yet on them. Wonder what all the secrecy is about? It's seems like they'd want to promote the hell out of it to get people out to the stores looking for one.
I am pretty sure Art Chantry is gonna be around $160, defiantley not the same pricing as the regular Hijinx, and DefenderoftheO was right, not all O Stores are going to get the Chantry or the Splatter. And a little side note, the Holeshot (if your interested) is going to be in almost all O Stores the begining of next week.
I don't think that it will be $160 from what I gathered. I know that there is still alot going on with this glass, but if you compare it to the Flores, I think there was alot more into the Flores than the Chantry piece as far as padprints go, and it was to be $140. I have heard as low as $100 to the $140 like the Flores was to be. I would think we should start seeing these soon.
