For the most part, this plastic is long gone. Many people have noticed that fan favorite red plastic, and sometimes dark blues, that have the champy star (hybrid) composition. Unfortunately plastics come and go and the nature of the beast is that each huge batch that comes in can be a slight bit different than the last. Though a few blends are tried and true, there are others that will arrive a tiny bit different and that's what makes the changes that everyone notices.
A very solid point. We had plans for them but elected to pursue a couple other projects first. There is a small chance that these will be available this winter season but I would lean more towards a late winter/early spring release if any.
Excellent points. These are things we have suggested to the production team in the past and we will see how that pans out. We feel the same way in the fact that less is more. In the midst of producing so many discs, it would seem as if the most effective way to produce these swirls is to use every color imaginable. Though people want certain color combos and everybody's taste is different, the most logical way is to use every color to avoid spending too much time on certain ones alone. Granted, some discs come out in a more earth-tone color occasionally but that is the nature of the swirl game.

I'd like to talk "Swirly S-Line" and if these are a bit of a test/experiment. Got my shipment of Swirly P2 and P1x and they range from a little champy to straight opaque champy. I think I got some regular S Lines that are actually more swirly... it seems most are just mushy (and is becoming a trend) and I think in the Swirly world - less is more. A bright color with some other bits built in. The Doom Birds were better IMHO with mostly more true "SLine" although those got champy too.
This seems a new type of process and wondering if that's why the plastic is different. Doesn't seem to just be bits of other color plastic melted in, these swirls are more broad and subtle, like a dye is added or something. I know secrets can't fully be revealed, but boy I'd like to go to the shop and show them what a little sprinkle of color into bright SLine plastic will do
