According to the line sheets, resort collection is only the eggshell/brown croc trim and noir/black croc trim combos being released in November. The CRUISE collection colors this year are the sunshine, peacock, rose, and malibu tie dye colors being released mid-November through December. Also looking at the line sheets it is the new hardware, it looks like the new/old mixed hardware isn't available until SPRING collection (expect for the cobalt and kelly colors).
What everyone else has said is correct about the idea behind resort or cruise collections. They are an inbetween collection with the idea of vacationing in a tropical climate during the winter.
Resort 2007 did have pyramid studs and the colors were lavender, new black (the one with yellow on the edges), night blue, evergreen, and yellow. RM did not do a Cruise collection last year.
