Just seeing if anyone else has one of the "purple" special blends? I have seen one of the "Purple" ones, and they are far from purple. They are orangey-brown. They look sweet, and I was wondering if anyone knew if any one of the three made were for sale?
Someone asked about that a while back on the 2005 CE Roc thread. Everybodys been quiet. I would like to see one myself. I ordered one but of course I didn't get it. Where did you see one?
Yeah I was one of the ones asking about them but no responses. I tried to order one, but only added a half hour trying to check out since it sold out immediately, doh. Where did you see the one your talking about, and can you post a pic of it?
I will try to post a pic of it tomorrow. It's the oddest, yet sweetest color I think i have ever seen. Although far, far from purple. I'll see if I can get the pic.
I look forward to seeing it. Where did the person who has it get it, and were any of the three made actually for sale? Anyone have one to get rid of?

They were available thru ZoneDriven, if you were one of the lucky few to get your order processed b4 the crash.
I think that all the really rare ones would have been snatched up by the zonedriven employees.......most of the greens and all of the purples
I had my cart set and ready to go and the crash happened immediately. I dont think anyone was able to avoid the failure. I was oreder 27, but figuers everything I ordered was available for a few days afterward, complete waste of time IMO. But still wanted to make sure I got what I wanted, which was the special blends. I think these will be the real collectors in the long run due to their difference in flight characteristics and desirability.

I think that is flat out wrong. A lie, but with a "I think" thrown in to cover the poster.
I got 4 purples total.
SB purples or purple flagstick like the one you traded me?
methinks he was talking about flagsticks, otherwise a 4th special blend was created that not even innova knew about. and even though dan's statement was slanderous, it's still his opinion, which everyone on here is entitled to and shares with the rest on a daily basis. personally, i would have thought that the tourney partners would have ordered all the desirables on the monday before the rocs were available to the general public, but that did not prove to be the case either.

Purple SBs were available thru ZoneDriven, if you were one of the lucky few to get your order processed b4 the crash. I hit "Submit" on my order for one just as all hell broke loose . . .
so you have one??? :confused:
How is that a lie/slanderous? It was just an idea.

Nope, hell broke loose b4 my order was parsed. But they definitely were available (exactly 3 @180 grams per Neal at ZoneDriven).
How is that a lie/slanderous? It was just an idea.
actually, if it had just been an idea, it would not have made it from your mind to the keyboard and onto the message board. at that point, it became a statement in written form, or libel (a written or oral defamatory statement or representation that conveys an unjustly unfavorable impression), since you were implying that the zonedriven employees might have ignored the rules and taken the "valuable" discs before they were available to others. it wasn't slander, which is spoken word, but i guess if you said it to a friend or spouse while you were typing it, then it was slander also. guess i should beef up on my law terms /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif. if you re-read my previous post, you might notice that i was actually backing you up, but i guess you wouldn't care about that at this point.

At 12:05 pm when I couldn't get through to the Zone Driven server I pickedup the phone and called in my order. This was before the crash. I asked the guy who I was placing my order with if any of the purple SB"s were availiable.
He told me those were gone. Appropriated by Zone DRiven employees. That is verbatum.
I have no problem with that so untill now I didn't think it was an issue untill you guys brought up the subject.
Mystery solved.
well in that case, my apologies to mr. dan. your unfounded theory has just been supported. i think it sucks that they were able to bypass the process that everyone else had to deal with.
Yeah I want one. But guess Ill have to be happy with red and blue ones. So wheres the pic, so I can have some real disc envy going.

Not sure if it's a website snafu or if it's for real, but I just ordered 4 special blends off of the Zone Driven site. I thought they were long gone, but they had both red and blue 180s listed as available for purchase. Perhaps they kept some back for sale after the initial fenzy??? I guess I'll know for sure if in a couple/few days.
looks like you're right. that's neat. :)
you're definately right. just picked up 4 more Special blends :)
NOw i can sell my Complete Set of '03's and '05's and still have a bunch of Special Blends left!! Sweet
Taking offers on my '03 and '05 set BTW.

I already got notification from ZD that my order shipped (I ordered them yesterday), so that's a good sign. Be interesting in seeing how fast these sell out. I played around with quanitities in the shopping cart last night and there was about 100 reds and 175 blues before I got "out of stock". Hopefully, the big vendors won't snatch them up before the rest of us take advantage of this second chance. Wonder if ZD is also holding back some Tribals and Flagsticks to put back up for sale?
well if they held back specials i don't see why not.. UNLESS:
They made another run.. OR
They actually had so many Discs to start with that when they finally got done doing a PHYSICAL Audit of their stock they had leftover discs...
I"m guessing it's one of the 2. and if that's the case there probably arne't any other types laying around.

wow, i just ordered some more too. :cool:nice.
I'm a vendor but I only bought 6 more. I originally ordered 8 and now I'm down to 2 and the season isn't really rolling yet.I'm not out to make a quick buck on ebay, I just want to have them available to my customers at a fair price. If they don't all sell over the summer then I'll put them on ebay in the winter to pay my store rent. That is if I'm still in business, this is the year that will make or break me.
