Now there is only 1 available so if anyone wants it they had better hurry!

Good luck with the Pro!

I don't see any times better than my 5:31 I posted way back when. I know it's kinda lame but it was the best I've done. At least it's a more reasonable target than 60 seconds. :D

I simply refuse to believe that I'm the best at this. Go ahead and prove that I'm as slow as molasses. I double down dog dare you guys.

The website says someone is in the 3 minute range. Does anyone know who this is? If his last name is Pitt, then he's not in the competition for the Purple Extreme SE.

Let's see if anyone can even break 5 minutes. :twisted:

Looking back on the other Blue Pro threads I only count 5 other members that seem to own one. Can that be correct? I would hope they sold more than that.

i timed myself once on the Blue Ex, without properly trying, and, if i remember correctly, i done it in 27 secs. so by that reasoning I'd be around the 2:42 mark (plus the time it takes to reset the pro and start again) ;)

i bet most of the other owners aren't on the forum, or don't post at least.

EDIT: just tried it, after not playing with the blue for a long while, and im nearer 40 secs now :( best get practising again then ;)

All of em are out of stock. Does that mean the collectors set can no longer be done as the lvl 3 is discontinued?

That's a job for RevoGuy!

I'm betting that if there's a demand for them they would make more of them. How hard can it be to make a blue core and a little doohicky. I'm not sure why he discontinued them in the first place. It's been my opinion that the Pro was the best version of the blue puzzle in the obsession format.

My only suggestion would be to keep the end of the core that you hold full size like the original obsessions were and the other end smaller like the later obsessions are so the core is removable. Yes they would be asymmetrical but they would be SO much more comfortable to use.

My guess for the reason they're discontinued is that they're making new versions. the collectors set will probably continue as they'll have some set aside or already bundled up, until all those sell out as well. so that'll probably be the only way to get a pro now (unless there is some still elsewhere on the web).

.... but this is all speculation, best speak to Revoguy if you're interested/curious ;)
