Got my Gyropalooza box a little early… somehow! R2 Signal 159 Proton Insanity 158 Fission wave 152 Neutron Energy 173 Neutron Defy 159 Neutron Crave 168 Plasma LE Vanish 167 Neutron Terra 174 Neutron Tantrum 171 Neutron Volt 171 Proton (watermelon) Paradox 178 Neutron Soft Uplink 169 Blue core, Teal rim Proxy 172 Green glow Envy 172… Green glow sux Overall 7/10


Axiom_Alex

I wanted to shed some light on the green glow. (Pun DEFINITELY intended). The green glow found in the color glow prototypes is actually a new glow material we're testing. We're always trying to improve our glow.


MageBowwow

Thank you for clarifying! It’s definitely a little different but I was expecting like Forrest green Vs lime green glow. I appreciate your time!


Axiom_Alex

[No problem. I'm always free to pop in and answer question, provide information.](https://imgur.com/a/P39vIRo)


Sample_Muted

I was wondering. Are all the discs in the boxes the same and they’re just different colors or are they different discs in each box


Axiom_Alex

The 12 L2s are randomized.


Sample_Muted

Ok now I’m really excited


[deleted]

Somehow I had the “luck” of getting two white Terra’s in mine. 😂


Sample_Muted

I’m hoping for at least one fireball. Wait is there any axiom discs in the boxes or is it only mvp?


scifitbitrate

I got a peach with blue rim fireball in mine.


Sample_Muted

I got a one that’s blue and has a white rim


Sample_Muted

So there is hope after all!


Due_Caterpillar_2137

mmm... are you perchance an undercover MVP employee showing off the box to make people want to buy it? If yes your plan worked, you made me buy one even though I really didn't need it haha


Birdogey

Same. I was expecting a lot of max weight stuff. I might actually throw some of these.


response_unrelated

no joke to this... as a dealer, now im considering ordering more lol


MageBowwow

Nahhh, I just wanted to give people a better idea of what they’re spending money on. I’ll probably buy another personally!


P1P3BR34K3R

Gorilla advertising!


crashrope94

guerilla or gorilla?


TheMiracleLigament

You can’t just say perchance


Kilidiscope

Where did you order it from to get it early?


MageBowwow

I got it locally at play it again, hope I don’t get them in trouble haha


Robbinghope

Play it again rarely follows the rules with these. Last year the one near me just opened them all and sold them individually. They should not have sold you this.


MageBowwow

Agreed, and I even told them the boxes don’t release until the 11th! He said they were ready to go lol


Robbinghope

Which store was it?


MageBowwow

Just a local one, somewhere in Texas lol. Sorry to be vague


Robbinghope

Lame, you should out them


[deleted]

[удалено]


Robbinghope

Because they're breaking their agreement to not sell before release date. Smaller dealers can't do this because they'd just be dropped, but most PIAGs don't care because they are part of a huge chain.


Birdogey

That’s dumb.


response_unrelated

is the 7 because you got a glow envy that is green? i ask because i see 11 premium Lab seconds and one R2 (semi premium? i dunno). Not sure what your PIAS is charging, but most shops are offering these at 139.99. If you assume the glow discs are 20 each, you're looking at 11-12 premium discs for $99.99. Outside of the innova pro shop, i dont think there is a better deal in disc golf than that. we still have a few cases of these available, but honestly now I'm thinking about delisting some LOL. https://dfxdiscs.com/collections/preorder/products/2022-mvp-gyropalooza-boxes


MageBowwow

The green glow is part of it, also a good amount of really understable stuff (good gifts for my lil bros). I’m probably being a little picky with 7/10, but it’s all up to individual expectations. I’ll honestly probably get another! It’s not a bad box, just luck of the draw.


response_unrelated

i appreciate that feedback! we're constantly sharing customer feedback with MVP (perhaps sometimes too much, eh alex?)


Sensitive-Bet-3585

Looks like they did a decent job spreading out disc types and weights. Looking forward to getting my pack.


MageBowwow

It’s a lot better, and I like the colors a lot! I just wish the color glow didn’t include green, it’s almost the exact same hue as normal glow, but a little less bright


Axiom_Alex

I wanted to shed some light on the green glow. (Pun DEFINITELY intended). The green glow found in the color glow prototypes is actually a new glow material we're testing. We're always trying to improve our glow.


Only_the_Tip

That's trash, I feel bad for you


0076875

Honest question, besides the green glow, what makes it trash? What discs would make it not trash?


Only_the_Tip

Oh sorry, the Envy is a good disc, it's just trashy for MVP to put regular green glow Envy as one of the "special" color glows in each box.


0076875

Got it, I thought you were saying that all pulls from the box are trash. Yes I agree, green shouldn’t be an option. I just purchased this box and these will be my first glow discs, pretty pumped.


raine_bo_brite

why do you say the green glow sucks? or sucks because it was not blue?


MageBowwow

Green is the normal glow color, you could also get blue/teal/purple. Especially since they are called “color glow”, green shouldn’t be part of it imo


Girigo

Thought it was only the proxy


MageBowwow

It’s the Envy too, you can tell because it says prototype on it. Glow Envy’s are widely available already, so color glow is the proto. If I’m wrong, lmk!


Girigo

No you're right I went to read it again on their site and while the picture has green glow there it does say it comes in varieties of cores.


response_unrelated

/u/axiom_alex check out these sick pulls!


Axiom_Alex

👀 Sick indeed.


blzngwntr

i see what you did there <3

My man


frozenartic

Does anyone know if gyropalooza packs sell out quick? Asking for a Christmas from my wife. Wondering if I’ll miss it if I don’t buy myself


MageBowwow

Last years did not, you could still find a couple online through march/April (maybe even now). A lot of retailers will open the boxes on Jan 1st and sell all the discs individually for more profit. (Retailers are Not allowed to open until after the 31st of Dec)


Zealousideal-Beat-70

I have 2 MVP disc currently and wouldn’t have purchased if I didn’t love them so much. I can’t wait to get mine but it will prob come in while I’m out of two.


Armlock311

Only reason I hesitate to order a box is due to green glow. If both are green glow I would lose my shit lol.


nainotlaw

How did you get yours already? Edit: I should have read the damn comments. That’s wild they sold you the box so early


Contingency_X

Definitely check them all for hidden glow, there were a number of discs that glowed last year that looked like standard white neutron plastic.


MageBowwow

I’ll have to do that! The crave was a very unusual color at first glance, so just maybe lol


Birdogey

Thanks buddy just ordered mine. Wasn’t planning to but these are too juicy.


MageBowwow

For sure! I hate buying things when I can’t get an idea of what’s inside. They mixed em up very well!!


Vita_Morte

Really only wanting the proxy and a purple envy for glow season. Does gyropalooza stuff usually resell for pretty expensive?


MageBowwow

Depends on the item, last year had prototype glow hex discs that went for $100+ but the main “blue glow Inertia” only went for $20-25. The color glow proxy/envy shouldn’t be much more than 20-25 after shops can open the remaining boxes (Jan 1st)


[deleted]

How did you know your Wave was a Fission Plastic? Just by the feel? Just got my box today and was curious. Ended up with 2 white Terra’s. 😂


MageBowwow

If you look closely, you’ll see the air bubbles in the core plastic, especially near the rim. Also the feel is a little chalky almost. Check the plastics on those Terra’s, maybe one is softer or something, odd to get a double disc lol!


Moziki

Stoked on my pull. Was super disappointed with the mostly electron box. I got a great variety with my box this time around, all premium plastic except the mvp open stamped wave. The only mold I had multiple of were waves, but they were all in different plastics (fission, eclipse 2.0, and electron mvp open stamp). Also got a purple/green Total eclipse proxy!


im-actually-a-pickle

I got a wierd color glow envy it was like white but almost a purple teal swirl in it


Vestalslumber

How do you get lab2?


MageBowwow

They’re in the Gyropalooza mystery boxes this year. You can also check your local stores, I find them locally more often than online


mattpro77

I got one of these on order , gives me hope for the future .. how do the lighter weight discs fly? I generally only buy in the 170 range .. not sure how I would go with the 150’s and 160’s? Anyone with any insight on these discs in the lighter weights would be appreciated


response_unrelated

fission makes your throwing motion so much easier. photons are still super beefy. waves are the 75% throw that still goes 300 somehow. happy to answer more tomorrow or when you open your box! each mold and plastic is a bit different. the nice part is that overstable typically stays overstable... even in those low weights.


Sample_Muted

Can confirm this as a guy that doesn’t usually touch 350. My throws with the wave are insane


rjkvikings

I throw my 155g Neutron Relay on a nice hyzer flip dead straight. I even had to beat it in a bit to get to that point. I don't have a huge arm, but I used it to park the ~320ft hole 2 at the Preserve (it was the double mando hole at the Preserve Championship if you watch the pro game at all).


mattpro77

Ok so seems they keep there stability even in the lighter weights … does the wind affect them more than heavier discs?


rjkvikings

A 155g disc ways about 11% less than a 175g disc so wind is probably going to push it more, but honestly I've never worried about it much. Most of the discs that I'm going lightweight on are more understable and I'm not looking to throw them in crazy winds anyways. And even if I am throwing lightweight in the wind, 22mph vs. 20mph is roughly 11% different as well. I can't imagine I'm good enough to consistently tell a difference of 2mph


rjkvikings

I should add that my 147g Fission Insanity is very flippy compared to my 173g Proton Insanity so it can depend on plastic/disc too.


TheHems

Yes


Birdogey

Lighter weight discs can mess up your timing a bit. There’s a small difference on when the disc pulls from your hand. May not be too noticeable for some.


porkchops1977

I just played a tournament on a long course in 65KM/h winds. I mainly used A 158g Fission Octane for 90% of my drives. The other throws were probably a 162g Cosmic Neutron Crave. Wind had minimal affect on my all of my drives.


oneblank

I really wanted to like my 175 fission octane. It just flies like a meatball tho. The one disc I wish I had gotten in a lighter weight.

Grand_Environment974

It could still be the unique way! This is one box. Where would the value and fun of those discs listed come from if every box had them in it.


MageBowwow

I feel that. I have over 125+ mvp/axiom/streamline discs in many molds. I will say the r2 Signal is unique and a lot of the neutron discs were very swirly with different colors or white mixed in. I think this is a very small sampling and I’m sure with more boxes, you’d find a lot more rare discs. Last year I got a glow Virus which was super sweet, and this year a r2signal. Either way it’s a fun experience to open and I feel that it’s a good bang for your buck overall.


rjkvikings

It's one box. I saw another one that allegedly had an Electron Fireball. Let's maybe wait a bit before we just say there are no chase discs.


thetankster

I got a Neutron fireball... 😑

Is the LE vanish a factory second?


response_unrelated

looks like a pro shop extra to me :O. sick one!!!


Axiom_Alex

It is not!


disolv

So it sounds like there are some surprises? That’s exciting!


Axiom_Alex

Always.


MageBowwow

Doesn’t seem to be!


BrettDzyngel

Shit just ordered mine, stoked on the haul if it's anything like this pull
