i think they are in the style warriors discussion (not sure though! maybe its the swatches)...there is a small pic but I dont think anyone has any more info other than there are 3...in 3 different prints and they are like the regular mac bags..
i think i read that they are being released well after the collection comes out? not sure though...

I'm not overly excited about Style Warriors (thank christ!) I'm only thinking of getting
Bright Future e/s
Night Maneuvers e/s (what is this?? Satin? VP?)
Vibrant Grape e/s - maybe
Refined Golden B/P
But I'm only picking 2 from each collection so it'll only be 2 from that. Oh and Solar Bits are crap, what a mess! I think I'll have to press the one I have cos you can't use them as they come!!
Graphic Gardens sounds like it could be dangerous to my bank account.....

the working name for Night Maneuvers was Dark Edge, which was released with the N collection last year, so you might want to check that swatch thread out to see if you want it. It's a satin (and apparently not a very interesting one).
Vibrant Grape is pro perm, so you can pick it up any time if you want it in pan form
apparently the texture of the solar bits has changed a bit this time, they are more smooth, so they should be nicer. I will press mine anyway, as they behave better when they are pressed. I will definately be getting Impassioned!
Just keep in mind with Graphic Gardens that the look boxes are US only, so if we get anything it will only be the palettes I think.
Hope that helps narrow down your list!

Cheers for the extra info Jen!
We tend to be missing out on a fair bit here in Australia hey?!
Hey Rockin, I'm lifting my makeup purchase ban for Bright Future, Maneuvre & Soft Force e/s when they come out here. Just don't tell Alex (hubby).
But I'm completely skipping Rose Romance...

I'm getting the Blush of youth BP from RR and will probably skip SW. I really wanna get more regular line stuff... I missed out on violet and melon pigment from ACW, i hope they restock.
Though I received my last package, yay.... normally shipping never takes that long. I got brush 239 227 and 168 =)

I sent a brief email to MAC asking when the Melbourne store was launched and here is the long response. Just in case if anyone is interested in reading about MAC in Australia (have a toilet break first.. go and get a cuppa, it blahs a bit)

It looks like it comes out more magenta than purple? If I can pick it up pro in the pan I'd probably go with that and your right it does look gorgeous!

I plan to press the Solar Bits I have (scatterays) but it seems like allot of work for one colour, so I'll wait til I have a few to press.Thanks for the info on Night Manuevers, I'll be sure to go back and check it out!
