Xmag Batch is IN!! (PICS!)

[DiRTyBuNNy]

how come I always end up starting a controversy..oh well..

[cphilip]

Black to blue's from JJ. Still hard to tell. Note the different light on each of them but they are the same.

[rpm07]

is it me or is the fade only on the barrel?
or is there some on the body?

by definition

royal blue

n : a shade of blue tinged with purple [syn: purplish blue]

LOL... no its not got any hint of purple. Your color blind or something.... Definitions or not... there is no purple in that color chart in that royal blue nor is there in these pictures. This is indeed close to royal blue but in dust dull finish. Not deep but still... You can continue to think that if you like. I not gonna argue with you. Its not got any purple in it.

Well it does wash out in the lighting on the front one but you can see it in the rear one that is not so direct in the light. Its showing the fade in better on that back one.

[wyn1370]

why would the fade even go onto the barrel? it is not the marker, which is what we all expected to be faded.

[cphilip]

I dunno. I would expect the fade to change around the feed module. And even though its progressive I would not expect it to start that soon either. I would have expected it to realy start getting into transgression around the tip of the body myself. I realy would like to see them without that artifical bright assembly light on them. The back one looks more like it and I am under the impression they are the same. But it sure looks a lot different when the one is out under the lights like that doesn't it?

Also some of these are no doubt Team Markers and they get color options we normal people do not get.

money can always solve that... TK even said that if i showed up with $3000 on AGD's doorstep, that he'd reserve me x-mag #420


too late for that... its already past that and i'm having tuna build me a complete ULE E-mag soon with a SICK acid wash finish... maybe after i pay that off i can afford x-mag #1337

ok well on my monitor it comes off with a little purple

but anyhow, if you look at the royal blue anno of the ir3's it is a purplish blue, there is a hue of purple to it... but oh well

Ok if you go back and realy look at all the ones that fade from black in the front they all start fading on the barrel in this batch. To a middle color that is both colors used and then to the final full color after the feed module. Almost a triple fade on all of them with the middle section being a blend of the two colors. Not what we were seeing earlier batches. A much longer fade in of the two color blends than before. And of course some of the earlier ones realy had no fade at all. Just boom...one color to another. But these are ALL different the way they are faded. The reverse is true on the ones that fade to black in the rear. But even then there is some subtle change way earlier. Go back and study those first pictures Tom posted and tell me it aint so.

I kinda see that too.They start like a black,dark gray and seem to fade to a lighter grey/silver and then into the blue.Most of it does seem to happen on the barrel though.It's hard to tell with the battery packs laying down.I'd like to see one with the parts oriented correctly.'Course I'd like to see mine in a box on my doorstep.
Maybe will see some pics during assembly,like while their flashing 3.0 onto our boards? (hint hint)

I love that yellow/orange sponge

Of all the things in the world to argue about, we have a purple/blue debate.

[DiRTyBuNNy]

Hey...that #17 doesn't mean I'm getting valve number #317 does it? and btw, if it doesn't matter can I have the back of the two blue-black ones on the table...I like how in that one it seems to be more black in the battery pack and not gray like the front one (unless of course that's from the artificial lighting as Cphil had suggested).

Am I disappointed...eh...it's hard for me to really say at this point. I was hoping for a little richer blue with a little more hue to it but if that's as deep and rich of a color they can get on a dust who am I to argue with PK. We always have our dream marker looking a lot different in our heads than what can be produced and I understand that. It's trying to tweak my dream to match the reality is what's hard.

and I started the purple/blue debate...muhahahahhaaha(evil mad scientist laugh)
