More preview images of the new Kobo frame:
Classic SF mistake: I have 4 JMM frames and and was thinking to myself that that's more than enough from one brand. But I was still checking on this thread once in a while for fun. But now that I've seen the Kobo I'm like: I NEED THIS. Dang, so much about abstinence...

BTW, would you have more info on the glasses, like lens size, release date...? I checked online but even Big Brother Google couldn't help

I'm sorry, man, I don't have any more infos besides those images. I got those from an Instagram story on Scott Hayes account. He's a sales agent for JMM and he often posts preview images of upcoming models.

The good news is that they are obviously in production, and the product shoots are done already, so it can't take long until they are released.

I think for JMM sometimes it’s a case of making an exclusive limited run of say 250, then after seeing how popular they are making a separate and slightly different exclusive limited run of another 250. Hence the different havanas, rover v sage, Hunter v tempest v platinum, wax v seed etc. Like you say marketing genius. People who fall for it must be real suckers eh?
Errr ... hang on a minute ...??

At this point there is nothing limited about JMM, save the Last Frontier collection (which, we will probably continue to see more of). My du likes to pepper in observations re their rarity when I go to see him. I let him play the part because I respect the hustle.

Which reminds me, I really need to finish Erving Goffman's "The Presentation of Self In Everyday Life".

... or Cassady in marine?

Are we saying that they’re not being exactly truthful about their denominations? Probably easy to fudge those numbers but they’d take a big hit in PR if it was found they were doing so.
