That rumor has been going on for some time now. It was also supposed to be for pennies on the dollar.

If it's pennies on the dollar that would mean one of three things: (1) Global was facing bankruptcy; (2) they owed Storm money and couldn't make good; or (3) the owners wanted to cash out while they still had a product with some value.

Well I have heard Storm has come to a deal with 900 Global to purchase. Specifics I'm not sure. But as far as plant in SA, it's still going to operate like normal.

That's cool that it will operate as normal atleast...so covers will retain the likenesses of each manufacturer? ....like everything won't become an off shoot of the reactor...

To be honest, i don't think storm has any interest in the global/amf/3g line. They needed another plant to manufacter all of there balls cause the utah plant is overwhelmed as of late. When you still have iq tour solids on back order its time for another plant.

But Seismic is not part of the 900 Global holdings. Storm would not get the rights to use the cores of the other companies being poured in th SA plant.
