Title: Motiv Revolt Uprising LE 6/15/2022 WWRD
Post by: 3835 on April 12, 2022, 11:36:52 AM
One of my Distributors just added a new Motiv release, the Revolt Uprising LE, with a Release date of 6/15/22.

Don't have any other information on it yet.

That has my attention if they're bringing back the vanquish core.

The motion from the detonator core in the Forge series is close but still different

Agreed. I have been trying to find some Revolts for myself, even the 2020 and Royal from overseas. Absolutely no dice. They are as tough to find as a NIB Tank Blitz.

One of the few balls I have left after selling is a Revolt Vengeance, 15# and NIB.

I intended to sell it, but I ran into the Pay Pal/ Ebay limit for tax reporting.

If interested, what do you have to offer in trade? Only NIB 15# stuff of course.

Unfortunately because of multiple injuries, I am in 14# right now.

Man, I’m on staff and want to know your source, we haven’t heard any details other than an LE ball this summer, and that’s it. If that leak is right then good lord sign me up for a case, the OG Revolt is my favorite ball of all time, and the other revolts were all really good, I just matched up with that core shape super well.

Ant specs on the ball?  Loved the UNited Revolt and this looks interesting.

Would rather see a return of the Rogue line and Sigma core, though.

Premium pricing for a symmetrical ball at $219…most high end asyms from other manufacturers are under $190

Agreed. I brought the pricing issue up in a different thread.

However with todays inflation I think this is the future for all ball companies. I wouldn’t be surprised.

Plus this is an LE. That might raise the price as well.

Sorta a small update....

My understanding is this is a SUPER LIMITED EDITION....this was verbal and not anything I saw in writing. If you are thinking about getting one you may want to jump on board early or you may miss out.

Can confirm what you’ve heard is accurate.

Another update....

One of my distributors was allotted what I would consider a small amount of Uprising LEs. The distributor is already sold out with pre-orders and that was a few days ago. So 6+ weeks before release and they are already toast.

If you want 1 or 2, you better pre-order them while you can, or you are going to be paying the $350 ebay special to get one.

On a similar topic but a bit expanded. As this ball is orange, do the resin companies offer discounts or special pricing on resin color or additives at times? Or are the ball companies just a bunch of lemmings and when one comes out with a color, the rest feel they need to do so as well? We see this often with coloring. Orange seems to be the hot color at the moment, but it's been red, blue, yellow, pink etc at various times.

I don’t know what resin suppliers each company uses but my thought is this is a copycat business. Look at the Gold IQ Tour Pearl. That ball was on fire. Suddenly everyone has a gold ball. Kingpin Special Edition The Golden One Special Edition Desert Tank and so on.
