why get rid of your equipment? just because Big B is out, doesn't mean you should get rid of them. If they match up and roll good, why 86 them?

I would replace your stuff when they need replacing.....

As long as they remain USBC approved for use and are registered with the PBA (if you do that) I see no issue.

I plan on keeping all my Big B stuff, DV8 and Radical. I will use them, and buy them until I cannot. 
 
I have never been a one brand only type person, but that is just me.

In a few weeks/months everybody should know more.

The 3 original Quantums came out early 1994 (Forest Green, Midnight Blue, and Burgundy urethane). I still have 4 of them (2 Forest Greens) and would purchase more if they became available. No reason to 86 your DV8 stuff as I am sometimes still rolling stuff that has zillions of miles on them and are 20 years old.

See the post from "newguy" in the Radical thread.  "newguy" is Phil C from Radical.  He explains everything in good detail.  Radical and I imagine DV8 not going away.
