Wow. I love a bunch of those colors.

But I guess if they're not making money they're getting in the way of something that can.

 

[robelinda2]

Interesting! I guess they just didnt sell, obviously. Pretty hot colours though. Maybe the public just never saw enough of them in stores.

I remember when I first got into EBMM, the amount of colours available was impressive, but I only ever saw black, white, red and sunburst ones on the internet and in shops or forumite collections.

 

[5Stringer]

That's the point ... you can offer the coolest colors and yet mainly sell the ones that have been around for 1,000 years.

I never really cared for any these colors (except Egyptian Smoke and Electric Blue). Out with the old in with the new

+1 on the egyptian smoke... cool color

 

[DaPatrooch]

Surprised about Graphite Pearl and Egyptian Smoke. I was just watching the Dream Theater Score DVD and staring at that Egyptian Smoke JP and drooling haha. Well I have a Graphite Pearl one so I'm happy, mine's more rare now

All my local shop carries is black/natural/vintagesunburst/other normal colours. I prefer the crazier colours, so hopefully they can change things so they still cover everything just not have 6 different shades of blue. Regardless, I just ordered an Sterling HH with Orange Firemist so I should be set for a while.

If you order it on Wednesday you know for sure there won't be any issues!

(yes, you can order it on Thursday before EB closes)

Like me, I have 4 to order.

I'm not surprised that most of the new colors are going bye-bye. They were too "in your face."

1) Orange Swirl
2) Gold Swirl

Has anyone got any pictures of Blue Swirl & Gold Swirl please? - Can't find them anywhere, think I'll regaurd my AL's -

 

[Smellybum]

Hang on - I'm an idiot there's a whole website for colours....

Sorry - stress getting to me....

 

[jamminjim]

musta been a brainsmelly.....

 

[DaPatrooch]

Kinda bummed about Blue Swirl, I really want a Sterling Silver Silo with that pickguard, but oh well. Black should look wicked cool on it, and I probably wouldn't be able to get one for a few years.

 

[5Stringer]

You will still be able to get it ... not to worry ... at least for a while. Not sure about a few years though.

I am sad about true gold. I have been wanting to get a gold eb for a while, I know I am guilty of not ordering one but I bought a RW ASS and now I bought the 25th. I think most would say I made the right choices. Bring on the new. BP is right the money dictates what stays. We are a passionate bunch but not everyone is like us as is clear by the colors we say we love that no one else bought.

Well sometimes you just have to put your money where your mouth is and get in an order for one of these soon-to-be-gone color/pickguard combos under the wire.

Details in about 4 months, but I've dropped a lot of clues as to what my favorite EBMM model and configuration is; however, the color will be revealed once I get it.

By the way - Thanks in advance, Pete!!

...and I am so glad I did! Pics available mid to late December.

 

[Smellybum]

Well it's hardly going to triple revenue, but I mailed S&T just now to order a blue swirl,

Nothing like cutting it fine!

Same applies for me....I ordered my fully loaded Silo in Desert Gold with a Black Ice pickguard, just before both got discontinued later last year. And I'm glad, I did

I've owned/ordered 2 RADIANCE RED balls. I find it hard to wonder why that color got DCed. My AL w/RR and white ice is a true rare bird now.
