I get 22" cymbals that weigh 3 kilos in a huge box for like $50 from the States.

$102 was a standard shipping rate. I added two more pairs of CPs to the cart and it was still $102. But I only really wanna get the Bball, ain't gonna pay so much for shipping. ****. I would kill to live in the States.

I've to live with it too, Singapore doesn't have variety. Besides, I'm on crutches now so I can only purchase online now. Way too troublesome (and hot here) to be moving from mall to mall in crutches.

i think the store would be doing you a favor if they told you guys your orders were out of stock. i think all those CP's look horrid (with the exception of the black achilles lows)

+1 not a fan of any of them. the perforated ones with the velcro are the worst.

The tourney mids with the single strap actually look good. I saw somebody on sufu wearing them earlier this year and I have always wanted them because they look like a cleaner PHardy. Unfortunately these aren't in black (which look the best), fortunately if they don't work out I can sell them for what I paid. I think the double strapped ones are hideous, though.

Might be able to hook someone up with black patent Bballs 44 at some point.

Shouldn't have slept on those, gutted

The website pics do not flatter any of those. If/when mine arrive, I will post pics in natural light and everyone can praise or **** on them. I figure it is almost a no-lose situation. They were almost free and I can flip them on ebay for profit or purchase price if I don't want them. I have actually been thinking about buying both of those for a while, so I can satisfy my curiosity.

Holy $hit the prices at the tannery are low. Just ordered the silver bball highs in 42. Now I really gotta get rid of my 41s...at a really low price

JD, I think bball highs are tts cuz their ridiculously narrow. I'm a true US 9/Eu 42 and my 41s are ok lengthwise but the width is really constricting.
