A pearl Epic would be absolutely wonderful.  I would be all over that.

Looks like a lot of people are going to be happy campers then.

This is slightly OT, but back in August of last year I went in to my ball driller looking for a solid reactive.  He is a FastTrack member, and does a TON of MoRich business, but he immediately pointed me to the Epic.  Almost a year later he still says that it's one of the best balls he's ever seen.  Last time I talked to him he told me that he really hoped that R/G would make a pearl version that went a little longer and had a bit more on the backend.  Coming from a guy that isn't even an R/G staffer says a lot about how good the equipment is.  And he was certainly right about the Epic.  Thanks for all the info guys.

Following Roto's Release patterns for the past 4 years I would assume the high end release would be an upgrade to the Apocalyse.  If it can get any nastier than the backend on the Apoc it should turn some heads.

The low end release might bridge the gap between the Mercury and Saturn.  Just a bit more angular than both.  I'm thinking an "upgrade" on the Ultra Sonic reaction(as that was the ball that fit between the Super Sonic and Sonic Boom).

Good observation DP3, from what i was told, The Epic Saga will feature the battle core, with the SSSE coverstock (same as Apoc), therefore the backend will be plentiful.  For the other release, The Neptune will be same as the saturn, with a 1% particle load.  If any staff guys say different, I would listen to them, but this is what I was told.

Trauma, the Saga will be TRI colored so the cover will not be the same as the SSSE since it was BI colored.

Cool. I don't think you guys have made anything Tri-Color yet *besides the battle.  Please add yellow!

Dave's probably right.  Purple seems to be very common.

Also, I'd probably expect purple/red/deep blue or something to that effect.

As far as the Neptune...gotta be a light blue-ish color, maybe white/blue swirled.
