No seriously, where's the Platinum?

[patrickmurphy]

A couple, three weeks ago or so I posted a thread asking about my beloved "Platinum" colored batteries which have disappeared from the ranks. The thread turned into a very fun advisory on the colors that should appear in the future (turquoise, hot pink, oiled bronze... all metallic, of course). But I never got a definitive answer about if the Platinum is coming back. Not gun metal platinum, which is nice, but it's not the same.

So is Platinum just out of stock at this time, or really.... gone, gone?

But i think you need to"PM " a v4L employee to get the definitive answer we as customers would not know if something "is coming back " just my suggestion

Patrickmurphy sir as I said in that thread, the platinum is discontinued. It was available on the bargin bins, but I believe most of the batts are out of that color option....

 

[waylonjessi4ever]

oh i missed that M ! well there ya go ,went to bargain bin !

 

[Morandir835]

Sadly Ms. Nancy that may not help him, most of the bargin bin batt are out on that color...

I did get a platinum extra long from the bargain bin, but the shorty was my all time favorite.

This is sad news, indeed.

There's a platinum shorty manual in the bargain bin right now. What is the difference between the two? I just got a gun metal platinum and I love it.

NEVER MIND, I have one in platinum. Had to look back thru my order history. I like that one too!

Thank you, chimchim, I may finally have to take the plunge into manual territory.

IMO, the gunmetal is pretty, and I have two of them and I like them. The difference is that they're shiny. Not Chrome shiny, but shiny. The platinum was a muted, silvery beautiful thing, that went with everything.

I like the manuals. Not as much as autos but I do like them. GET SEVERAL!!!

i'm a metallic fan. looking forward to the oiled bronze...<(really?)
i feel your pain though....i liked the platinum color, too. all my friends use colored batteries and mine are gold/platinum/bronze/copper so i know they are mine!

I did get a platinum extra long from the bargain bin, but the shorty was my all time favorite.

I have a platinum shorty auto with green led which has had hardly any use, and a platinum shorty manual with blue led that only arrived yesterday. Both are bargain bin buys.
I can't see myself using either, so if you are interested, pm me. Only catch is that I'm in Australia... but am happy to send to you.

I feel your pain, Patrick. To some of us (myself included), the aesthetics of an item are as important as the functionality. And SHADES DO MATTER!! (As do finshes!)

Patrick..Good for you! Katz..hugs!

if they dont bring back the platinum, I'm outta here!
