Matrix Neo sunglasses UPDATED Post #161

[agonistes86]

I hope I'm doing this right, since this is already a closed list for now, but since this is the Marketplace, I thought I'd try it out.

I'm making the sunglasses I made for Neo available, although I'm not sure if it will be the complete glasses or just the lenses. There is no price set yet, but $10 will the max. shipped, probably less.
Payment and everything will only be due when the glasses are completed and ready to ship, so that's when the final details will be discussed.

Here's the current list, all of these will get at least the lenses: (the # corresponds with the post number in the Neo thread)
1. galactiboy (#128)
2. Platty (#153)
3. ShortRound (PM, after #238)
4. TheAnomaly (#241)
5. toyadventurer (#242)
6. LookCloser (#246)
7. toylion (#249)
8. MarfMaster (#251)
9. marker2037 (#256)
10. noisetrigger (#257)
11. MwNN (#259)
12. JIM007 (#260)

I will make a waitlist for any further interest, but I can't promise anything, maybe these 12 glasses will be it.

waitlist:
1. neo
2. SithKnite
3. JeffTVR
4. zombierider
5. Thrustmaster
6. Wor-Gar
7. elvis1976
8. bplus73
9. Levit05
10. usswanker
11. carbo-fation
12. drbrad1975
13. ronwlim
14. Kuzeh

BTW, if anybody wants to make their own glasses, I will gladly help out. The glasses are made out of plastic from a pudding cup, cut to size and finished with some fine sandpaper. The frame is made from the wire of a twisty-tie, bend to shape with my hands and some pliers. Everything is colored black with a marker.

UPDATE 1:​

These are now officially up for order. The first 18 people (12 from the list and first 6 from the waitlist) will we able to buy theirs now, they are all finished. The list is as follows:

(If you're not interested anymore please let me know, so that someone else can move up a spot from the waitlist).

Please post here, or send me an email (no PM please, my inbox is almost full) if you want the full set or lenses only, and if you want them painted or not.

The price is as stated above:
1: set of lenses only: $9 shipped worldwide.
2: Full set (lenses and frames): $12 shipped worldwide.

I will be on vacation from May 2nd till May 10th. I will go to the post office this Saturday, April 30th and ship to everyone that paid until then. The rest will ship after I return/payment is received.

My paypal address is: XXX
All emails with your address, questions etc. can be send to the same address.

So to summarize, the info I need:
- Name and address (obviously)
- boardname
- full set or lenses only
- painted or not

Thanks.

And here's some more info I posted on page 5:

I will ship these in an envelope, wrapped in tissue and possibly some bubblewrap. The lenses will but put in a small zipbag for extra security.

Paint:
You can order these as is or painted, price will be the same for both. As I said, I painted my prototype with a black marker (edding 500). I've noticed a very small paint rub on the bridge of the nose of the sculpt, with came off easily with some rubbing though.

Assembly:
These will ship without being glued. I can't see how I'd be able to ship these without them coming apart during transit, so you will have to glue them yourselves. Regular super glue works fine. I can help anybody though this of course, if help is needed.

UPDATE 2:​

All paid orders have been shipped.
One is still outstanding, will ship when I receive the funds:
1. Platty

The new waitlist is as follows:
1. bplus73
2. Levit05
3. usswanker
4. carbo-fation
5. drbrad1975
6. ronwlim
7. Kuzeh
8. Andymp (possibly x2)
9. deswalker (possibly x2)
10. T-800
11. dneilan1
12. noisetrigger (2nd set, possibly 3rd)
13. malo (possibly x2)
(14. neo, 2nd set (if still interested))

I will most likely make a second run to cover all those on the waitlist, but probably not for at least a couple of weeks.
Sets are limited to 1 per person, but if I should have any left at the end I'll let those know who were interested in more than one.

Yeah I can take one later this evening.


Posted this in the other Neo thread, here it is again in case you're not checking that thread regularly:

Shipping:

Yeah I'm still thinking about this. As stated, I'm not sure yet if I'll sell the complete set or only the lenses, since, although the frame is not that hard to make, it simply takes a lot of time to get right, and I want to keep the cost down with these. I'll see about that though. If I do decide to sell the complete set, I think it might be best to send them unglued. That way I could send them in an envelope, which would keep the cost down. I'll probably ask everybody involved in the other thread when I get to that point, what way they prefer.

Price:

I'm not sure yet, for the lenses only probably around $6-8, for the complete set about $10. Nothing set in stone yet, but that's just to give you an idea. It's alright if anybody on the list backs out at the end, I'll probably still get rid of them somehow. And if not, it was just some wasted time. I'm a college student with some free time on my hands, so I'm just making these while watching a movie or somehting. I'm not really making a lot of money on these either, it's more of a thank you to everybody participating here and sharing ideas and recipes. :duff

Re: Matrix Neo sunglasses

Please, please, please add me to the list, I missed your post to me yesterday...

If anybody else is interested let me know (marker2037, Marfmaster, elvis1976, Wor-Gar?)...

Interested -- YES! I can't believe I missed this! Anniversary yesterday. Seriously, closed? NO! :gah:

Please put me down on the wait list or whatever it takes to get the opportunity to get a pair of your amazing glasses.

Thank you.

Re: Matrix Neo sunglasses

You're on the waitlist for now. I'll try my best to work on the wait list too, but as I said, I can't promise anything. It all depends on how fast I can get the 12 others done.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Re: Matrix Neo sunglasses

Thanks, man! I appreciate it!

Re: Matrix Neo sunglasses

Here's a shot of the back of the glasses requested by toylion.

And a shot of my current progess. Size doesn't translate well in the pic, but the lenses are all a tad too large. Now the time comsuming part will come, sanding them all to the same, accurate shape.
