Japan gets a pearl version of the Scandal too, the "Amazing Scandal". Would be nice to see that over here as well

they also appear to have gotten some better color combos on the bw spare...
For the record, Japan has had at least 10 different releases of the BW Spare.. But they sell over there, so they'll keep releasing them!
Speaking of overseas releases, at least we don't have to go on the hunt for the Warrior Monster pieces that were released in Japan. From my digging, it looks like they didn't get the Warrior released over there, but in its place received the Warrior Monster Pearl and Warrior Monster Solid.
They looks similar in specs to the Warrior and Warrior Supreme, only with a different finish on the surface (2000 grit (polished on the Pearl) ) versus 500/3000 on the Supreme and 500/2000 polished on the Warrior. Both sides of the pond got the Warrior Elite.
So we definitely have seen the completion of the Warrior line, at least as far as coverstocks go. No idea if they'd even think of putting together a spare ball; it isn't in Ebonite's bag (yet) to do that, as they've totally focused on the pancaked Maxims for the past 30something years.
BL.
