The only thing I really know about the 06/07 invaders is that they had binding rip out problems. That was less bad in 08, and I bet will be pretty good by now.

Of course not, it's "alloy" not ollie.

I have the anthems and i can say the ollie band doesnt add that much pop but still better than noting.

The original 05/06 invaders with the pink topsheet had serious de-lam problems. Line fixed it for the 06/07 model.
I had the 06/07 model and have skied the 07/08 model, they're exactly the same, just a different graphic.
Invaders are great skis no doubt for $299, they're definitely worth it. The only problem is the base is so fucking hard because they wanted it durable. It makes wax just bead up on top of the base instead of getting into the pores, which makes them slow as balls. Especially after good mid-season use. I had to wax almost every night before I went skiing eventually.
I still got like 35-40 days out of my Invaders, they aren't completely dead but just super slow and really floppy. For $299 I couldn't find a better ski though....

The 2006Iinvader did not have the carbon Ollieband and did have a few bindings rip out but that was fixed a long time ago. Last years 2007 did have the Ollieband and so will the 2008. In other words this years and last years Invaders are the except for graphics.
