Manike: Any word on availability of E-vents / Avatars

[Jotsy]

how is the lens change on those things? profilers are still currently my favorite mask purely because of the lens change.

\my friend and i had to change the lens out on his invision the other night. holy crap that took 2 hours of my life and now i've lost the feeling in my thumbs

My understanding is that Simon is the R&D guy. AS far as pricing or availiblity you need to go through national.

Alright Loh...currently, they only have the cyrus(sp) in stock, but they are expecting the E-vents and avatars in from NPS within the next week.

if only they had used the right foam...we would have had them 4 weeks ago...

[Chronobreak]

Actually they just came back to work last week. Many of the companies there take two weeks off for the new year. It's a very significant social time for them.

We actually payed people more money to come back sooner for them to make the correct foam. If all goes to plan I will have the correct foam with me at Texas PSP (I am expecting it to arrive anytime now) so I can update everyone's goggles who bought them before, and then the foam will be going towards production.

It was my call to take the first foam to update goggles for people who already bought the goggles and support them, rather than send it to production. It was also my call not to release and sell the 500 pairs I have sat in the warehouse. I want this product to be as good as possible. I'm not the kind of person that knowingly releases anything that I don't believe is good enough.

That may or may not have been the correct decision based upon those people waiting, but I wanted to support people that have already shown us support and bought the goggles, and ensure that when people get the goggles they get the best I can make at that point.

I will always be moving forwards refining the product and developing it to make it one of the best choices in paintball.

Anyone with Vents or E-Vents goggles please come and find me personally at the Texas PSP event and I will update your goggles fully.

Thanks.

p.s. That information release was actually sent out to our dealers last week I believe.

They have an ad in a magazine now. Limited quantities at HB. Which kind of pisses me off; I've had grey Avatars on preorder for several months. I have to wait, while anyone who walks up to the booth at HB doesn't.

[AnthonyW]

its the pro's I tell ya they get them first.

[FSU_Paintball]

I don't mind the pros getting them first.

I DO mind them selling their only supply out at the HB tournament to anyone who wants one when I've had mine on preorder since LAST YEAR.

You know the productivity losses I'm taking from checking action village every hour?

Why white? I know some people use white hopper shells because it hides hits (most tourny paint around here is white). Not saying that's why anyone here would want a white mask just asking. Thanks.

for the refs of course.
I prefer wearing white/black when reffing rather than yellow or bright orange.

have you seen the white ones? they are so hot..my local shop sold out too...but i snagged an s4 kit before they took it to hb.....just got to put it on..

[FSU_Paintball]

I gotta agree, the white E-ventz look SUPER nice.

Which is EXACTLY why we didn't sell them at HB. We had a thousand or so come in and they are all going to dealers to cover back orders.

[FSU_Paintball]

Woah, for real?

I think their bandwidth has been exceeded... but it was a scanned magazine ad from NPS/empire, with pictures of the Avatar and other masks, saying "available in limited quantities at HB"

You can understand why we were pissed

I believe you though, and thank you for thinking of your preorders. I guess this was all a misunderstanding.



Are black/grey Avatars in yet or are we still waiting for those to start production?
