RIP Elite Z Glow MRV @ White River - Lost and Found

olydiscgolf · #1 January 15th, 2013, 06:51 PM

Lost at White River on Sunday, one of my beloved Elite Z Glow MRV's. I'm pretty sure it went in the river, but on the chance that it's in a tree or under a leaf, Ill spread the word here.

That is a terrible loss, hopefully you get it back.

I bet some tears were shed. I'm jealous that you had one to lose. I still want one.

tossing one of those into the river hurts

General Scales · #5 January 16th, 2013, 10:50 AM

Tossing a mold that was a very limited production into the river really hurts.

Yeah, no fun at all. I tried to hold it together for my group, but there were definetely a few tears shed. Good thing I have 6 reserves...

PS. Im always looking for more.

You have 6 more Glo's in reserve? Who do I have to kill to get 1? Name it.

The good news.... I know where there are more. The bad news... I'm not talking. I'm trying to work out a fair trade to pick up a couple more.

I am curious what you know about them, as its really rare to find anybody that has even heard of them.

From what I've been told, they are exceptionally rare. Most of them seem to have been made between 2003-2004. I've heard there were as little 200 made and as many as 1000. I can't confirm how many were actually produced but I know the numbers are quite low.

They were originally made as a fundraiser (I believe) and are in that super tasty old school glow Z which seems to last forever. I also know that they are more overstable then the Z MRV's I currently huck. Really, I want to pick some of the older Discraft Pro's brains (Scott Papa where are you) to see if they have any more information on them that can be confirmed. I guess I could write Discraft and see if they will give me any credible information.

So once again, who do I have to kill to get one?

I think you are in the ballpark there.... From what I understand, there were about 1000 of them made, but, because of the low flashpoint of the glow plastic, only 1 out of 3 didn't get "burned" by the mold. So that leaves 366 of them stamped and sold. 266 of them have the "howliewood" stamp on them (these are the ones that I have) the other 100 have the Doctor Disc Bandaid stamp on them.

I attached a pic, its kind of hard to see, but one of these is really dark compared to the others.

If you do get a chance, these are THE best glow disc's ever made.

How far off the bank is it? Any chance of retrieval?

Yeah I just had an Office Space 'Oh Face' moment looking at that picture. Everyone I know that has ever had one won't come off them. Even though they don't throw them and never will. I throw a lot of MRV's (just got two brand new max weight Z's in the mail) and I've been looking for these forever!

easy enough, about 25 feet out, water is moving fast and 34 deg.

Go to blue 14 t-pad, follow trail down to the river, at the waters edege travel right about 30 feet and stop. About 25 feet out you can see your disc plain as day, also 2 orange discs and 1 blue disc can bee seen, farther out into the river.

I did go into the river 1x couple of years back. I alomst got hypothermia. I had a 5 min drive to home, gf had towels in the dryer for me, I was mostly purple in the lower body parts.

OK. First let me say that YOU SUCK!!

The fact that you have 4 Howliewood 3D Glo Z MRVs to even TAKE that pic is disgusting.

And second let me say YOU SUCK!!!!

WTF are you doing on here telling the world about this disc?!?! Are you TRYING to make the price of these discs rise through the roof? If I had any I would part with, this little thread would add $100 to the price of each disc if I were selling them to you.

And third let me say YOU SUCK!!!!!!

YOU THREW ONE IN THE RIVER!?!?! ARE YOU MAD?!?!?

I approve this message. Although I did throw a Z Ringer in the water at Corbin Park once. Never got that one back. I think there was fewer of those made then even the MRV's

Quite the mouthful there Jordan! Let me just start at the top...

2b) So you still have some? What about the other 6 deadly sins? $?$?$?$?$?
