How can we ley folk get our hands on these first run stamped discs.

stpitner

hey cool I have more warning to save up money to place an order on the 6th for those first runs.

I'm also trying to get 50 of these puppies to be stamped for the Bloomington/Normal stamp.  How cool would that be?  I don't think I'll know for sure until Monday though.  They wouldn't be CFR plastic, so reward dollars could be used as well.

ok, the name is gay...but how does it throw??? i bet when you get used to it it will get alot of distance but then you will be over anhiesering everything else.

The disc is ridiculously fast, and very straight out of the box.  I've been giving it a bunch of throws and it is breaking in nicely.  Like a faster beat in destroyer without having to throw it a couple hundred times. O0

I just got these bad boys in TODAY and they are certainly the latest buzz everywhere.

Let me know if you're interested in getting one, or two, or a few for you and your buddies.  I will certainly work out a good price and get them shipped or delivered asap.  I'm only in Milwaukee so not more than 2 days shipping at most.

Do you have a mixture of the "types" that were said to be released? Scott R. had one that the flight plate was nearly inverted and was fairly understable.

All max weight? Stamp?

I don't know why I'm asking these questions, unfortunately I can't afford to buy any new plastic right now  ;D

I picked up a few a couple of days ago. All of mine looked perfect with good flight plates and no bubbles. The stability still varied though. The max weight 175g that I threw flew like a really fast max weight Wraith while the 173g I threw yesterday flew a lot more like a new max weight star Destroyer. It's hard to tell what you're going to get.

Variability in stability is unavoidable in these new wider rimmed discs.  It is not an Innova thing.  People I talk to at Discraft say its a wide rim thing. 

I'll have 25 at Fairfield.

Hey there Serg,

I guess I was fortunate in that I received a handful of different colors.  I received some bright orange, bright yellow, light blue, pinkish purple, and geenish yellow.  I received one or two that are almost completely clear as well.

I haven't seen any bubbles so to speak that others are talking about.  However, I haven't inspected my entire collection just yet.  Along those lines I haven't noticed if any are incredibly dented in on the top.  Most of them look to be pretty standard in terms of how the flight plate 'should' look.  

They are inconsistent in that I've seen the weight range as 172 to 175 or also 173 to 175.  I know that of all the discs I received, they all looked to be either 173, 174, or 175.  

I'm shipping out more than a dozen to people today so if anyone needs them let me know and I can get it out right away.  PM me if interested.

Thanks!

PS - I haven't even thrown one myself.  Maybe I'll get around to that today, maybe not though.

I have 50 arriving today.  10 are already spoken for.  No idea what I'm picking up for weights and colors.  Limit two per person please.  All should have the Innova star symbol stamp.

Should anyone not like their max weight Boss's I'm looking to trade for some (read... I'm broke)

I have a couple nice supercolor Buzzz's; Sparkle Z-Force, Am Nats red Z-Force, Midnight Buzzz, Elite Z J-bird dye'd Buzz w/ Leviathon Stamp... Photon UV Soft Challengers (white that turn purple in sunlight)

All those are new except the J-bird dyed buzzz, I used that one for a couple rounds after ponding my goto Buzzz.  Also have a couple boxes of other new/used stuff. 

Thanks,
Jesse

I've got a 173 gram, pink champion Boss that goes really far with little effort.  No way it is near the stability that my orange, echo excauliburs are.  Havent given it field testing, but the few throws on the course had me liking it.  I've got big hands so the rim doesn't bother me.  This is almost like a lighter, faster destroyer (I think).  Once I get to a field this week I'll post more...
Vibram Disc Golf, Ledgestone Insurance, Paragon and Whirld Sports are all cool. Real cool.

I got out and threw a very dark blue 175g Boss this morning. I was throwing it on a football field from goal post to goal post. There was a steady 10 mph blowing north. I was able to throw it into a head wind and with a tail wind. It flew very similar to my Star Destroyers but is definitley fast. I want to give a try on the course.
