The Eagle Isis

[Dooners]

hi, I am stuck on my Eagle clue. But your post that has really peed me off, I brought it on the ospices of entering a new prize zone, and yet if most of them have been won (I didn't spot tht before), that really isn't fair - gonna recheck the advert now, to see if I missed it before. Now you come to mention it, when I chose which clue to go for, i did notice that there were a lot of people in there (but not talking about it here) - now I know why. I feel a bit conned

You should just be able to log into the main ISIS site with the same password etc as the eagle (just can't be done the other way around).

sorry I peed you off, that wasn't my intention at all!
The only reason that I noticed it was that when I registered I selected that I lived in the UK and yet when I checked "Your Details" it said US... that's what got me thinking.

Anywho, thanks for the info about the other login. I hadn't thought of just using the same detail... duh! lol

The Eagle ISIS will only be available for another week, so order soon if you want to get one

Eagle ISIS

EAGLE ISIS
Genuine price reduction to make room in our warehouse for Isis 2. This offer will only be available until 13th July. When they are gone, they are gone. Order now to avoid disappointment.

Typical. I saw the Eagle ISIS offer in June. Decided that this, combined with the bonus I was due to receive at the end of June would mean I could finally treat myself to an ISIS.

Bonus delayed until the end of July. Eagle ISIS offer ends. Gutted.

I should be posting in the Good News - Bad News thread.

Hi Bluesign, well it you personally that peed me off - just the info you discovered.

I don't recommend clue 13 - it is a mare!!

[adamwest]

14 is a ball buster too. at least for me!!!

So I decided to get an eagle isis because of the great price and if I am ever to solve a pyramid then I would need another Isis and this would probably be the best price I could get one at.

Well, I ordered one but was a little disappointed when I didn't get the color I asked for, which was a possiblility forwarned on the website. BUT since they don't have any more of that color then why does the website still advertise both colors? Shouldn't they mention on the website that only one color is left?

I brought it on the ospices of entering a new prize zone, and yet if most of them have been won (I didn't spot tht before), that really isn't fair - gonna recheck the advert now, to see if I missed it before.

I was also under the impression that there was a new prize and new riddle exclusive to the eagle isis.

(You must own an Eagle Isis to be eligable for any prize)

It is very misleading to state this and then connect the eagle Isis riddles to the sharper image riddles because if someone solves the riddle who has a sharper image Isis (not an eagle isis), they are eligable for the prize (contraray to the quote above).

Another reason I wanted the Eagle Isis was for a new riddle with few challengers.

I guess the only good thing I got from this is an Isis I at a good price

it may be worth giving SW a call, they may be sympathetic, especially if they still have some left cluttering up their warehouse you never know, they may even offer it to you at a good price!

I got an Eagle Isis aswell and also got riddle #14. Does anyone have any idea of where to begin? I only have one idea and I don't know if I should say what it is, but it hasn't really helped me, so I don't think there would be any big deal in doing so.

as much as i love SW, it does appear that the eagle prize zone may have been misleading

Hmm, maybe, I think it's possibly more that it was just a little unclear

Anyway... on the plus side though, since no prize has been claimed since the Eagle ISIS award zone/competition started and the fact that the front page of the Eagle ISIS award zone says there is a Wii and 360 up for grabs for Eagle ISIS owners, they must still be available to win within the remaining 5 prizes So there's at least two great prizes yet to be claimed!

Time to cross my fingers, choose a riddle and get cracking on it methinks!!

I did the same, bought an Eagle isis just before the price raise.

The Eagle Isis website is exactly the TSI website indeed, explicitly confirmed by the downloadable clue booklet which has no single reference to SonicWarp, but in stead has the TSI logo and starts out like this:

Dear Sharper Image Customer, thank you for your purchase of a Sharper Image product...

If you look very, very closely at your engraved eagle, can you also distinguish the letters "harp" in there? or is that just my wishful reading?

I still see no false promises in the Eagle Isis advertisements though . . .
It does not say there is a NEW or EASY reward zone, does it?
seeing there are hundreds of challengers already is not encouraging though.
Could SW make/save some friends by providing 5 new riddles and allowing everyone to swap once

I don't regret buying the Eagle Isis, since I did it to get a new key that allows me to hunt for gold again, and I don't expect to get a key from my Isis2 soon.
I did not even select an Eagle Isis riddle (yet) since I don't want to guess it correctly and loose my chance to hunt for gold again.

The eagle is located exactly where the the sharp image Isis says "The Sharper Image"

Maybe the Eagle Isis was just a way to promote the selling of the sharper image Isis since Sharper Image seems to be doing poorly.

Comparing my two Isis, I cannot see the sharper image logo on my eagle Isis, but it does look like the engraving of the eagle is deeper than the "The Sharper Image" logo which would be a good way to get rid of the sharper image logo. But that is only speculation and I have no evidence to back it up.

I don't think there's any question that Eagle ISIS' are TSI ISIS' that have been re-engraved

The first batch of ISIS did quite well in the US, infact if I remember correctly they were in very short supply at one point, maybe even sold out.
So I suspect the Eagle ISIS were originally a 2nd (maybe 3rd) batch ready to send to TSI... then as we all know, TSI have some serious money problems and all of a sudden tell SW that they don't want (or can't afford) this new batch
SW are then left with a whole bunch of ISIS' engraved with TSI stuff that they need to shift to recoup money and storage space... If you remember, the SW shop used to say something along the lines that the deal was a genuine price reduction in order to make room for ISIS II stock. If this is true (and there's little reason to suggest it isn't), then this further supports the fact that they were originally bound for the US... after all SW knew a long time ago that they would need storage space for ISIS II and I doubt they'd have accidently made too many non-US ISIS Is of any type
