How is Line affected by Invader Problems

It seems lots of people are getting their Invaders warrentied by Line recently. I am wondering how production problems have hurt Line financially. I realize Line has been around long enough that this isn't a red-alert and they have many other excellent products. But, I can't help but wonder the problems this creates for a company. Can either someone who knows about Line or Liberty (since they had quality control issues last year) expound on this? Enlighten a curious fellow.

What im saying is that so what because they had one pair of really sucsessful skis. Kind of like with the reactors last year the chronics and motherships were such a big hit that they could afford to give bindings to those whose broke them

If you hear something on this site, it's probably safer to assume the opposite is true than to believe it.

I've seen a ton of Invaders come back into shops with the edges ripping out of the top. And the whole clear sheet on the top of the ski is pealing back (doesn't do anything to the performance of the sk though...I don't think). Couple kids at a local mountain got their Invaders and had the edge in the nose popping out after a few days riding them, not even beating them that hard. It's a shame because the idea behind the ski was such a great idea.

maybe in pure produciton cost, but you have to consider overhead and all the other costs (R&D, ads, etc)

we should not start seeing posts like "WHAT?!? we r geting ripped off!! it only cost them 90$?!?!?!?? what fukkerzz!!"
