« on: August 07, 2007, 03:39:49 AM »
The topic about another Immortal got me thinging: What is next in line for VBP? Not that I am being greedy but it is always nice to thing of what's next.

Since, Visionary doesn't belong to the ball a month club and they just replaced the Gargoyle line with the Ogre's....the only thing I've heard is a possible replacement for the Blue Slate but that was a big maybe and down the road.  

To add to that I love the Ogre's....I'l be getting an SS soon for the fall season.  The Solid and Pearl are keepers.  Those three are as much as I am going to need for awhile.  May update my FMG which has a lot of games on it and I'd like to see a spare ball but Jason has said there are quality issues with any clear plastic coming from Korea.

My understanding is the next release will be a particle Ogre and possible a new spare ball.

My understanding was that VBP had tested some particle covers on the Ogre core, but that we would have to wait and see what might happen with them...they would have to decide, 1) if there is demand, and 2) which particle cover they would go with (i.e., would it be a heavier or a lighter load, a certain surface, hardness, etc.)

I don't understand.  It looks like English, but then I noticed this was the Visionary forum.

If they do decide on a particle cover, I sure hope it is a lighter load.  I think that the AMB Particle was a little much.

Yeah, never saw a ball spinning in the box, reports had a DHL truck carrying one to NY ran off the highway and overturned, the ball was last seen going south on the NJ Turnpike.
