I like the one I got and would love another. It's not FAF OS, but it is about the same as those almost flat pearly ones from 2014ish. Which is my second favorite run.
So while not perfect, yes they are very good.

I picked up a 158gm Star Firebird
almost concave
the nose (to my eye) looked sharper/faster
thought it would be a fun disc to throw
it doesn't like to fly
damn stable (not really a surprise given the shape but still...)
I'm going to have to introduce it to some hard objects

Since I don't throw a FH 450', this may be the perfect Firebird for me. Very flat with grippy, pearly champion plastic. Played in 15-20 mph winds yesterday and it earned its keep for sure. I actually prefer to throw something less OS than a FB when I can but I'm always happy to have one in my bag in the Okie springtime.
Dude at my shop says this plastic should be the norm for the foreseeable future for champion, which is awesome. I have a couple TL3s that are the same.

Good to hear! The plastic seems to organically change every few years and it suits some discs better than others. The super clear plastic of 2015-18 was very well suited to things like Shrykes and Terns but the Firebirds and Rocs suffered IMO.
The new pearly Champ is my favorite in years.

Don't get me wrong, there are a ton of beauties still coming up for sale. I'm only saying that I've noticed the Champ Firebirds they receive go from 100% pearly to 50%.
The next run is another great one. They're flat, OS, molded with transparent & tacky plastic. I'm sure some will favor them over the recent pearlies.

Now THAT is a beautiful disc.
All of them were pretty much the same, flat too. Hopefully Discmania will get the same plastic for some of our faves.

God bless that is pretty. I never buy a disc only because of how it looks, but I would certainly buy that over just about any other Champ Firebird. I will have to post my pearlies later.

Wow, I need to stock up on another on another two or three of these while they are still around. I am loving my flat pearly pink FB that I picked up a couple months back. Flat, grippy, firm but not too firm, monster overstablility.
Dammit, been loving my champ glow, dont show me pretty things like that
Stock up on firebirds. The latest cfr run that has come through our door was a mix of regular champ and champ with a little bit of luster in them. They look like the old pearly champ plastic from years ago and it feels great.

FWIW, there's a run of Arby's Firebirds available on their website.
Looks like they also have Raptors and some H1V2's.
