[Innova] All Things FIREBIRD

[ranger]

Sorry, I wasn't picking on the disc itself.
I've thrown them and do think they're nice.
Just not going to stand in line for one.

Nobody really has to. All you have to do is wait a bit and they will be available. I'm guessing everyone will be able to grab one by the start of summer or before.

Avialable, but never cheap - however, Nate is an Ace of a human being, so I am down on helping him tour.

The price is fair. It just gets rough if you don't qualify for free shipping.

Would be interesting to know how much Nate actually gets. . the signature Series cost $10 more than a normal Firebird, how much of that $10 goes to Nate and how much to Innova

Nate definitely hit the jackpot getting the sig Firebird.

I have never wanted one but all the craze (especially watching Nate use them, but also all the online hype) had me convinced I should buy one. Then I remembered I still don't need one. I may look for one at a local shop later this year if there's one around.

The Sexton color glow Champion Firebirds cost $19.99 at the Innova Pro Shop this year, I believe. Non-Sexton colored glow Champion discs go for $15.99 perhaps, depending on the retailer? Anyways, they cost more than normal Champion discs, so probably around a $4 difference.

Whatever amount he gets is none of my business.

Nice prices, here in Sweden a Sexton Firebird is $35 and a normal Champion Firebird $18

i agree with you in whatever amount he gets is none of my business . .BUT, innova and Discmania market these discs with the slogan "A substantial portion of each sale will benefit Nate Sexton and his touring efforts."

So therefore it´s rather interesting what Innova and Discmania counting as "substantial"

I have over 50 Signature Discs, and i really hope tha players gets a substantial part of the sale

Whoa! Discs cost more over your way.

 

[wims]

Yeah those are the prices here as well ... they are actually a bit steeper over here. $36 for a sexton, $21 for a stock champion

 

[Jolt]

Prices in Sweden are allways including VAT. . but still things cost alot i Sweden,...and even more in Norway

 

[dysmike]

Prices in the US do not include taxes and other duties that are going to exist in most places outside the US. VAT being, probably, the biggest impacting one.

 

[Um...]

I have it on good authority (whose source shall remain nameless) that Nate definitely receives a substantial portion of earnings from his Tour Series releases.

Happy to support Nate and kudos to Innova. :clap:

 

[Um...]

That said, crazy to think of the profit margin that a disc that was just produced 3 years ago has grown to in the collectors market. Hopefully Nate is sitting on a fat stack of 2015's that he can double down on in the future.

A little birdie (see what I did there?) told me that the players get $5 per disc for each Tour Series disc sold. So I think the above is close if not outright correct.

Any difference in flight between 2017 and 2018 sexton?

2017 more OS than 2018? From what I've seen and heard.

 

[Heartedale]

Pretty similar, I actually like thay fact that its straighter. It just lets me add another fb to my bag lol

 

[mk.ultra]

Anyone got pics of their 2018 sexy birds? Mine didn't come today and I won't be back home for over a week

According to him, from a Sexton Shootout, he is sitting on a fat stack of them and they aren't for sale.

i recently purchased a new DX Firebird 175.

i was quite disappointed.

it did throw long, but it essentially flew like a Thunderbird.

i like the Thunderbird, but i really want my firebird to have a heavier fade at the end of the flight.

i use cheap DX firebirds for long shots along the water's edge that i want to be sure fades back onto land and that dont break me if by chance it stays in the water.

aside from buying an expensive version are there any good, inexpensive options out there anymore?
