Any word on upcoming new releases?
« on: June 04, 2018, 08:59:01 AM »
Any one have any ideas\picked up on info of what the new releases are going to be??
Bowl expo is still 13 days away. I figured by now Schlem would be dropping hints.

What are you hoping to see? Or take a guess on what we may see?

I’ll guess and say an Idol pearl.

I'm expecting pearls across the board, POW is the only pearl left in the line.  Idol is stronger than anything they've had in the HP4 line anyway, so HP4 missing a solid isn't a big hole, they have their hybrids covered with the Fused, Danger, and HYB, solids are Idol, Show Off, and Ink, so HP2, 3 and 4 lines get pearls I think, and with the Exist and AOSO getting discontinued so recently, I think they fill those holes at the end of the year. 

Crush It seems to be the HP4 release like has been said, pearl Idol is a no brainer, and we haven't had a pearl Show Off yet, so I'm expecting that too.  No inside information, but knowing Schlemer, this sounds like what he'd do.

That pearl Idol will almost have to be a replacement for my Marvel Pearl whenever it gets retired. I don't see them putting some crazy fast response pearl on it. I think your hopes of a nano pearl make the most sense on it.

I just hope they're smart with the color of the pearl Idol. Just make it a darker color of the original and call it good

Yeah, super loaded Nano pearl is what they SHOULD do.

It's a gamble with them because Schlem can throw some stupid colors together. I would love to see the Dark Phaze color combo of Charcoal/Silver/Emerald or a dark Silver/Purple

Just a Dark Purple/Black pearl would be sweet.

Idol Platinum Pearl has a nice ring to it.

I think so. I keep updating Roto and Schelms Facebook to see if they drop the info there at the same time.

Definitely disappointing. Didn't expect to see another HP4 solid

Winner could do better with a different name. Kinda..well lame but might have some good performance. Wonder Woman looking logo with Son!Q coloring.

The Halo is just a dumb release. The IDOL and Code X have solids covered right now for Storm and RG.

I guess now my only hopes is that Storm drops a Master or Thunder line release today.

Personally happy with the Halo, have held off on the Idol as I’m favouring asyms for strong cover balls right now, so I’m pleased to see this.

That said it’s very lacklustre overall from RG. There’s a stack of gaps left in the lineup after all the discontinued stuff.
