[Prodigy] Prodigy Color Change

[ViolaBouquet]

I bought a Prodogy M3 a few days ago. It was sitting in the back seat of my car in a pile of other discs. When I picked it up at the end of the day the part that was not covered up by other discs, and exposed to the sunlight turned white! I live in Michigan, and the temperature was in the 60s, so it wasn't hot at all. I thought this might be some color change technology, but 24 hours later with the disc inside it is still like that. Has anyone else had this issue? What would cause this?

 

[Arocep]

Yes, this is an issue prodigy is having.

Another one whites the dust!

I used to work for a plastic molding company. Titanium alloy is a great UV stabilizer to prevent sun discoloration......PRODIGY!!! HIT ME UP!!!! HAHAHA

 

[curveball4]

They had a run of the pinks that didn't get the uv stuff added

 

[tbird888]

This has been discussed ad nauseum on here. There were some runs of pinks that didn't have the UV stabilizer in the plastic so they fade in the sun.

Throw your (now) white disc or dip it in dye.

Hey, at least Shawn has a life, with his music and all.

I don't blame him for not reading the ten billion Prodigy threads that are floating around here.

Here is one that I dyed last month. The pink fade makes for a great canvas.... I would say that they will be worth something in a couple of years.

 

[LeBryson James]

I don't either because they're full of crap.

Yeah. Prodigy had a batch of pink blend plastic that lacked the UV protection. M4s and M3s are the ones that had the problem. And this problem will not continue. People who make this issue into a big deal really grind my gears.

Let the rest fade and call it an albino disc. Someone will buy it

 

[Disc Fiend]

Don't leave prodigy discs in the heat too long.

Just throw it so it can finish changing, its not coming back. Mine was basically white after a few hours its inevitable and the only way to avoid it is to not throw it and keep it in a closet or something.

Even though it's already been talked about a lot, just throwing it out there, it was worth seeing that awesome disc :-D That blend of pink and white is very sweet.

Shelf that one. Get a new one. And cash in when the time comes.

I got two more non faded ones sitting in the closet as "backups"
