I’m thinking along the lines of the TDx, which didn’t really have a lot of turn. P3 wasn’t a ton more OS than the P2 (although shaped way different). PDx, PD3, and PD2 have similar numbers, things like that.
Some of those were similar enough to existing models that I think they may have cannibalized each other. Having control of the design provides an opportunity to spread models out a bit. Totally get putting the priority on high demand models, but some of those lesser known models could be resurrected into something pretty sweet.

These New Originals will be essentially a reintroduction of the line into the world. Everyone will certainly have their favorite model that isn't in direct spotlight that they'd like to see made first but we'll need to start with the staples of our line first and then add the next ones over time. 2023 should bring a pretty healthy assortment of molds but 2022 will be comprised of much larger inventory with a smaller selection of Originals discs.

I was wondering if the MD3 release is also coming with the D-line plastic or is the first release only C-line release?

C-Line!

There are chances of that for sure but nothing has been planned at the moment. Geo Line is essentially reserved for box sets at the moment for the most part.

Does Discmania or anyone here know approximately when the new PDs will be coming out? All they have said about all the new Originals is: sometime in Q3/4. Which could mean in a few weeks or Christmas. Just wondering if they will be more likely next few weeks or months or not till end of year?
|
PD should arrive Q4 this year. FD, too. (not FD2 :) )

I really want to throw the Splice. It feels good in the hand. But I don't want to throw my Primal edition and ruin its value. When will we be seeing the stock runs?

Splice is similar to Mutant with production challenges. Both have been added back to the list as we've fixed both molds and can resume. Early 2022 for both is now more likely than this year.

It looks EXACTLY like Chameleon. I didn’t think that the “EYETALIAN” plastic was in use beyond the MD3 and DD3, currently.
A few pages back, though, there was a comment about the Italian plastic pellets (why that’s actually a selling point is odd - Italy isn’t known for petrochemicals) finding their way to the Latitude facility.
Just making sure. Thanks all!

It looks like people just didn't dig in the right olive garden to find this plastic. Itsa gooda, we promise!

Hey Discmania - Any plans to make the Essence in weights < 165 grams? 150s would be even better, from my perspective.
Thanks!

This is probably the most challenging thing at the moment. It will remain a goal to do so but producing discs in lighter weights than 165 is difficult with these machines. Lots of waste |
