I think it is fair time gentlemen,

If it’s my favourite finish I’d have it line wide. Neptune Blue and Starry Night look good on anything in the line.
While I’ve got you, how about a valentine in blue dawn

Also, does that mean if you could only have got 30 sales it wouldn’t have made it into the BFR lineup?

 

[jones4tone]

Correct Jones! We almost didn't bring the AL since we had it pegged for about 30...it ended up being 75 which will be a nice chunk of AL sales. Would you use your best/favorite.most digestible finish for a line wide offering or a smaller niche one?

Yes?

Some of the BFRs released beginning last fall were in that 30-ish range, I believe.

Yes, and some were below that (Nomac was limited qty from the start) - the Trans Gold St Vincent wound up with just 21 pieces ordered.

 

[Magic Jason]

They'd sell KOA AL by the dozen!

Yeah, the AUG 18 in the photo means AUG 2018.

[GWDavis28]

Ok, 8/22/2018, could today be the day???

Hahahahahaha

[dibart77]

Funnily, they changed the graphic and it now says AUG 22. Which is totally wrong -- all the previous ones that's the year, not the day of the month. In any case, today is the day. Go to eBay and you can see a bunch of them online for sale!

Here's some silent footage showing off the sparkles

 

[GWDavis28]

[xjbebop]

Don't love... or even like how the neck looks...
Good thing, as I've got no ngd budget anyways...

I got to see the AL that Pete has in person a few weeks ago. THE FINISH IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, SPECTACULAR, UNBELIEVABLE, STUNNING AND MAGNIFICENT! Its much more than orange. I'd kill for a JP I. This color sans the block inlay.
