Other than Oakley merchandise, what else do you all collect or enjoy? Me, I have a rotating but constant interest in watches, comic books, DVDs, and a budding interest in swords.

Before I got interested in Oakley, I was big(and still am) into Star Wars. My collection is pretty big, around 3-4000 CAD. Not much of the really old stuff, but I don't really like the older stuff. I guess I'm the same with Oakley, I don't really care for the really old stuff.

You can't be to much of a fan then.

a previous thread maybe related to this so let's link it up -

So, I have to like everything just to be considered "much" of a fan then. I just don't like the look of everything pre-1997, not that I don't acknowledge that it exists because the newer stuff had to come from somewhere. I just can't see myself spending a lot of money I something I don't really like or won't use. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the old stuff sucks or anything, just doesn't appeal to me, that's all.

Jamey Bishop (x-metalman - 1/14/2005 8:10:23 AM)
------------------------------------------------------------

agreed. i find it interesting in a historical sense, but i feel no need/desire to own any of it

John Heins (john - 1/14/2005 7:36:00 AM)
------------------------------------------------------------

I would certainly go for a pair of 0.2's were the chance to present itself. But apart from the occasional oddity I see the older stuff as being the roots of the new stuff I like. Each to their own.

To get back on topic another thing I collect is pens.

I have pens by rotring, porsche, cartier, montblanc, cross, parker, fischer (the titanium bullet pen is probably my favourite along with the porsche) and paper mate.

my collection is full of new and old, does that make me the best kind of fan?
LOL

W.B. Ng (bong - 1/15/2005 3:05:54 AM)

I collect anything having to do with Oakley's drag racing operation. I, like Factory Pilot, am a drag racing fanatic. I have all of Scotty Cannon's diecast cars, most of Gary Scelzi's, photos, posters, VIP Hospitality passes, postcards, etc.

Ahhh. At first I thought he emant razors. (No lex, nothing to do with blades) Bong, I need to refer you to the Flak from non fans thread. Anyway, your collection of headphones. Do they go right back to tin cans tied to your walkman with a piece of string.

ahhaaaaaa. Not so funny now the shoe is on the other foot huh;-)

Anyhoo, as a matter of fact Bong I am surrounded with Bics. All of them red. My girlfriend is a teacher and she teaches stupid kids. (no need for anything other than red) I tried to buy her a nice cross pen for marking but she told me not to as the little b#sterds would just steal it.
