There are some lighter taffy-style-candy (softer and grippier stuff) Leopards around that fly understable. I have some of the first runs that are hard and fly nothing like the SE Leopards I use to like. My wife and daughter each have one of the lighter tackier ones and they work well for them. Low 160s in weight, I think.

I am really liking the Viking I think it's because it's just like a "NEW" 11X KC Teebird.. Go figure.. I can tell no real differences. I am sure there are slight ones, I just havn't found them yet. But anything that is that close to my TB's I am def. in on.... It looks like this will be a quick addition to my game!!

Daniel, Kid, Scott, Schmack, I would definitely run more SE if I could get hold of the plastic. We have been using it for Millennium and are running very low. It would also make a good Archangel.

The Proto run of Wizards used plastic from ground up overruns and mistamps that Gateway had lying around. It had a nice chalky texture that people seemed to like. The durability on it wasn't significantly different in my opinion.

recycled plastic can be used if it's a minor constituent of the batch, and is otherwise clean and unexposed to UV. Every time plastic is recycled, it loses some of its integrity. Old plastic that has been out in the sun for a while exposed to UV is not very good to use.

Dave

Big demand for CE Gremlins here in the midwest! I would also like to put my vote in for another run or five of SE TL's!!! The first runs of white ones were very good however the yellow and red ones rule! The yellow and red SE TL's seem to be more durable and stiffer, maybe a mix of SE and CE plastic? They may not last as long as the CE's but are oh so suweeeet! I don't know about everyone else but I am willing to buy them a little more often due to not being as durable. any chance?

A suggestion to Innova
Why dont you add mold and run numbering system fo all discs such as with Millenium. Since no runs seems to be like the next such a system might benifit everyone.

Despite the variances within a run of discs, I would still love to see run numbers and/or dates (or event month-dates, like "August 03" somewhere in the stamp, since it's understandable that precise dates would be a pain).

For people who like to collect, or just wonder about things, I think it would be absolutely great.

Back to topics that haven't been beaten into the ground, Pro Gremlins please. I have had 3 aces with mine now, and I want to retire it, but can't find an exact replacement. Dave, please make more for us.

That's the disc I'm talking about - that plastic. The item says "pre-ce", but it was not the standard pre-ce proline plastic. Chances to get a firebird or starfire run made with that plastic?

CE COBRA

Is the disc like the flat Cobra or more domey like the Classic Cobra?

How can we get them? (if we don't want to spend big bucks on e-bay)
