Previous thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=250818¤tpage=4
This thread will server as the place to manage and discuss the orders for the new ESPORTS Aviators v2.0. We addressed a couple issues in these new ones, namely visibility.
Update:
Orders are now closed. There is no set date on when we will be be distributing more aviators, but keep on the look out! Thank you for all your support!
I've sent out emails to those who specified a "rush" order for Raleigh and plan to ship them by Wednesday at the latest so they will arrive comfortably before MLG. All invoices will be sent out all by Monday.
To everyone else: you should be receiving a similar confirmation email but your aviators will ship later in the week (18th-19th). They technically should arrive before Raleigh but it would be cutting it really close to those who are travelling early. Invoices will be sent out along with the Raleigh orders on Monday and throughout the week (should get most if not all of them out by Monday)
If you wish to get your order before Raleigh, please order ASAP so we can process at the end of the week and an extra urgency notification in the body of the email. See blue update below for more details
Some quick samples

Available Colors:
White outline/Blue (TL Colors)
Update 8/10/2011 11:48 AM
We have about 5 aviators left that we can get out in the first wave before Raleigh. After that we'll still be taking orders but you will have to wait as we manufacture/ship our previous wave of aviators.
On visibility
We now have two versions of ESPORTS Aviators, one with noticeably smaller font that is shifted down the glasses. This is increases your visibility significantly as you basically just overlook the logo altogether. We'll still offer ESPORTS Aviators "classic" for those who wish to have the full ESPORTS effect.
We tried transparent paints and they turned out horribly. The paint would be too thin if you really wanted to see through them, and having a nice coat of paint obscured vision anyway and the texture looked pretty bad, as we are using paint markers + varnish for our current model.
Visibility with big ESPORTS
The glasses are pretty dark to begin with, but the big ESPORTS does obstruct vision. I was capable of navigating portions of MLG Anaheim with them on pretty well, but not for long periods of time. Some people had trouble seeing through them. I like these guys for the full ESPORTS effect.
Visibility with smaller ESPORTS
A significant increase in visibility, I'd feel comfortable with navigating them for extended periods of time. However, the ESPORTS does slightly obstruct the bottom portion of the glasses, so they're like ESPORTS bifocals?
Also the glasses now have reflective lenses, opposed to the standard "dark" lenses we had before.
Pricing
We're aiming to distribute about 100 as of now, with 25ish going out in the first wave (hopefully before Raleigh). Of course this is subject to change due if they're popular enough!
If you're interested in ordering, the current prices depend on region to accommodate for shipping.
US Domestic - $25 + $5 shipping
Canada - $25 + 13$ shipping
Australia/Europe -$25 + $15 shipping
Orders are now closed. There is no set date on when we will be be distributing more aviators, but keep on the look out! Thank you for all your support!
Any order requests through TL PM will be ignored.

Isn't that what has happened to you lately thanks to them? hehe
I would buy mine, but I already wear glasses b/c of my horrible vision.

Amazing quality in pretty large quantities, I hope each pair doesn't take too long to make. Keep it up!
Edit: the conservation of typos rule applies, I see.

Hi.
Unfortunately, you cannot start a normal thread to sell merchandise on TL.net. Contact Hot_Bid via PM to discuss purchasing a sponsored thread.
Sorry about that and I hope you go through with it.

<3 Hot_Bid! You were the inspiration of course!

this is a perfect birthday present for myself, imo ^_^ email sent!
|
CHILL GET OUT
That's essentially what just happened here! :D.
|
Godamnit! this is so tempting! im sure like the TL shirts, it will be sold out soon lol
|
I have a quick question: I don't have a paypal account. However, whenever I buy season passes for GSL, I can pay through credit card. Would I be able to do so or do I need to create an actualy paypal account?
|
Cool, I sent you an e-mail. New shades would be nice to use driving until next January/February when the sun isn't as bright on the eyes.
|
Awesome!! Email sent, can't wait!
|
Awrh, although I don't have the cash to splash on these aviators, I still LOVE how you put Australia in the shipping category. I think people underestimate the Aussie fanbase on TL and much love to you for recognising us

Paypal lets you pay via an account balance or any other typical way of payment, such as credit card, debit card, etc. I have a Paypal account, but I'm like 90% sure I've paid before without an account and just my debit card. Hope this helps!

Waaaaaaaaant. Any chance I could pick up @ Raleigh (if you guys are there), not really sure they would arrive in time to Korea ~~!

Hey, how's that for an idea - you can sell some at Raleigh and then those people can dodge shipping costs =p?

Hi Jinro!
I believe that shindigs plans to ship a whole box of them to the Liquid players, either to a Raleigh location or to a friend in the east coast who will be able to bring them to you. We are actually not going to be at Raleigh to self-deliver

Thanks so much! We're glad you like them and that they arrived so quickly

Thanks Docta Spaceman! Really appreciate the positive feedback
We are closing orders from here on out, and we don't really have a set schedule on when we'll make more ESPORTS aviator but they will likely make an appearance again in the future. The feedback from the community has been amazing, and we really couldn't have done it without all your support. Stay classy TL =[ESP<]-[>RTS]=
