They've been shipping in small quantities; I've not made a big splash about it because my production queue is already full with Dominator and Predators.

I'm ready to purchase a second pair of FatSharks but want to hold off now until I can get my hands on these
Shipping to where?Originally Posted by FatShark
To the beta testers and some stores id say!!
What will the new goggles be called so I can start searching for reviews
Fatshark Classic it would seem...
I am lucky enough to have a set of these on my bench at home. Here is a quick 10min review:
Good things to note so far:
- All in one! 5.8 and head tracker in a product with the size of the BASE model.
- Matte black rubberized finish feels less "toy" like
- IPD adjustments, which are located on the bottom, have a very nice feel with positive clicks and further travel adjustment than BASE
- Eye cups have tabs that do not let them fall off (like Predator/Dominator) - FOV is smaller than the BASE, but larger than the Predators; good trade off and feels perfect to my eyes
- I have no trouble with white corners and can clearly see all OSD info.
What I'm not so sure about:
- Protective lenses (like dipoters): These cut out a little clarity and might be the cause of some of my fog issues, but are easily removed. I believe they are also supposed to lessen the effects of sun spots if you accidently let direct light hit them by use of a filter.
- Small amount of light gets in where the top and bottom halves come together; directly at the center. I can confirm this by placing my finger over the spot and the light goes away. This should be easily fixed with a tiny piece of tape, and may even be already fixed for production.
I only have a few flights on these and haven't used the built in 5.8 Rx or head tracker yet, but they seem to be great improvement. I'll get some pics up soon and hopefully get some more flight time on these.
Be sure to look for them soon at ReadyMadeRC.com
(No, I don't have a date available yet)

Got pics?
mine should be here this week i hope , so looking forward to reviewing them also.
Sounds like they are the best of every part of the fatsharks from before all rolled into one top goggle.
Cheers

Did 1st fight testing of SVGA today (up until now only worked with engineering samples). Was the most FPV fun I've ever had. I have always assumed that an SVGA display would only offer marginal improvement over VGA due to the limited band width of the TX/RX but even using just my standard 420L CCD I was astounded by the improvement in overall clarity. Looks like the SVGA is going to be a winner.
