I have to think the combination of SR101 and mudders has a lot to do with that.

. . . as do the number of color combinations. An argument could be made that each color combo is a "variant" of the original black/black. If someone wanted to take that position, the S5 completely kicks the DM's behind in terms of number of variants released by The Yard. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The popularity of the S5 comes as no surprise to me at all. In terms of units sold, I believe it will turn out to be the largest single release in Scrap Yard history. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Congrats in advance, Dan. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thanks! The color offering does play a part. We really went out on limb since the logistics of pulling this one off were extraordinary. It is just way cool to offer the Dogs a choice and maintain the "performance to price ratio". I can't wait to get these into your hands <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I think I can safely say that we all can't wait to receive them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

On the other hand, I absolutely LOVE the fact that knives will be available for sale in the store during Blade, Dan. I hope your decision to do that with the S5's sets a precedent that continues for as long as Scrap Yard exists so that those of us (like myself) who cannot attend the show can still feel as if we're a "part of". Thanks again, Big Dog! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Well luckily Dan, you don't have to wait.
It's a huge sacrifice, but I'm ready to recieve your order just as soon as it ships!
So please don't feel like you need to hold back on my account!
If you need a guinea ping I selflessly volunteer.
