Roto had a new Cell shirt that was a HOT seller.  It is Black and Orange instead of Blue and Red.  Same design just better colors.  I got the last XL they had on hand at the time.  Much better color combo IMO.

I actually was disappointed with the deals going in the booths this year.  Usually you can find some nice items marked down pretty good but I didn't see many this year.

Roto Grip Cell shirts were like $54.95.  Hammer Booth --  didn't see a Vibe shirt.  Mostly Black Widow and Black Widow Bite plus logo hammers.  Ebonite Booth did have some nice shirts down to around $28 to $30.  Lane #1 had their Buzzsaw logo flame shirts for $29.95.  Lanemasters had black polos for around $25 I think.

From what I saw, the low-end stuff and bags and stuff were reasonably cheap, but high-end stuff was a little over-priced.

I was also pretty disappointed with the selection of items at the booths this year.  I will agree with Moose that the Black/Orange Cell shirts were very nice!  The Widow / Bite shirts were also nice...but when I was there a few weeks ago they didn't have much left for sizes.  I think that's my one big gripe about the shirts...the ones that I always want are out of the major 3 size by the time I get there and the tournament is only half over!!!!

The only other thing there that really caught my eye was in the storm booth...they had just received in a shipment of overseas shifts (MegaShifts).  Oh that and the NIB Yellow Sun Storm that they want $500 for...

The Hammer booth had the No Mercy and No Mercy Beat'n for $139.95 drilled and for $15 extra, you also got inserts and thumb slug.  I think they only had 14# and 15#.  The Doom and Toxic were $119.95 drilled, $15 extra for inserts and thumb slug.  Visionary had any Ogre for $129.95, including inserts and thumb slug and $360 for all 3 Ogres, drilled with inserts and thumb slug.

Ebonite had the NVS for $125 drilled.  That is a pretty good deal.

Columbia had the High Flush pretty cheap too.  Can't remember the exact price but it was in the same range as the NVS.

Most booths out here are not company owned. They are privately owned and they pay a license fee to the company they represent. That is why you have the pricing flux. It is supply and demand at it's best.

I also talked to Beans at the Lane 1 booth.  Sixcranker is right on, Beans is a very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful guy to talk bowling with.  I had questions on the Secret Sauce, Lane 1 equipment and general questions, and he was very thorough in his responses.  I must have talked with him for about 20 minutes.

I wonder where they got the Yellow Sun Storm from????
I actually dug into the vault for that one. Mark Anderson helped me out a bunch so I sold it to him...
