Thanks man! When I get the chance to get a pair of these for myself, I'll probably take the review, update it accordingly and post it.

I'm not getting the Jawbone anytime soon though. For now, there is another frame currently in transit to my house...

Using this thread to save from opening a new one ... and I think Ken's proximity to me today has infected me with a woe of my own.

So I busted out the Gentei Frogskins today since it was the first cloudy day in a while. I quickly discovered a QC issue on my frame - one of the 'nubbins' on the hinge was missing/reduced ... so the right earstem doesn't really like to stay connected to the orbitals.

Major bummer, and major issue when crap like this happens on the LE stuff. The thought of invoking that extra warranty card you get on LE stuff really sucks. Luckily, I'm hoping it is still new enough and still available from Gentei to get an exchange. I shot an email off to them tonight, so we will see what tomorrow brings.

you shouldn't have to mail off the card...Just cal customer service, fax or ail a receipt, and you should be set.

That sucks oogie. Luckily, I think the $200 price point has warded off the more rational buyer of Frogskins! Gentei should have some left.

Oh did you get that Frank book full of girls with their boobies out in your package? A nice little extra in my opinion.

LOL ... ummmmm, yeah, I think we must have stricter pornography laws in the US or something. All I got was a Gentei store card sort of thing. I think you ordered a week or so after mine ... so maybe they went x-rated just after mine shipped.

Yeah, I'm hoping for the best considering it looks like they still have stock on hand. Otherwise, my next best option would just be a straight up return. A warranty claim direct with Oakley is my worst-case scenario ... since that would probably just result with the best option being credit towards a new purchase.

If you do get an exchange demand the Frank book be included!

This is what the folks at Gentei shipped to me:

Nudity has been pixeled out but still probably Not Safe For Work.

EDIT: Damn, Shop Gentei is saying sold out.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, Oogie. A defect in a low production LE is a collector's worse nightmare. Hopefully you can be able to replace it.

Ford, lucky you on getting the Frank51 book. Looks really cool.

Wierd, I was quite sure it was still saying 'add to cart' last night when I looked and shot them an email.

Just my luck if posting my 'woe' here inspired some member(s) to place an order for a pair and sold out remaining stock. Damn you Ken!! (kidding, of course ... I think I like Ken more and more as I toss out fake anger)
