Yeah, those oblong light purple replacements are total shit. Very disappointing as the footballs were excellent. I wrote Maria and asked if / when they would have the f-balls back in stock but as par for course, no response. She answers 1 in 10 of the emails I send and I always send them in Spanish. I guess maybe I could try emailing David, but his name was the receiver name back when the WU scam hit (that still may not have been them proper... but they never came out and denied it, so likely was I guess). Anyhow, not so sure I would trust his answer anyhow. Blue 10's, .5 Alp, 2mg Atti's and Zolp (for a friend) are about all I will order from them anymore. Those products have always been consistently good (but been a while since I ordered the .5 Alp). Going to order a small test of those in a couple weeks when I place next order for the blues.... here's hoping.
