Does anyone at all have an idea when these might be available? Pics maybe? Having sampled a standard, I'm quite interested in perching one atop my deadlywinded RTP...

A supplier here mentioned it about a month ago, when I enquired about a standard VLocity. I surmised the month timeframe he mentioned was probably optimistic, as all I've seen or read is the incoherent ramblings of some (presumably) players with (clearly) no schooling on PBNation. A picture of the product box was all there is to see...

Egg3 : We haven't fixed a damn thing.

Fix the battery door/the lid/the neck and they might have a quality product on their hands ^^

Many thanks ST6212, that will make it easier to refer to until I can get my mitts on a real one. Are any of you guys using a regular VLocity? If so, how do you find them with your Mags balance?

umm only thing i believe they chnged on the VLocity is the mouth is angled back intsead of a 90* angle...they might be smaller and i think faster...not sure though except the mouth.

This is what I've read about the two.

Egg 3: Just the same as 2, but stock with z board, stronger shells, and the same price.

Vlocity Jr: Going to be ~$30 cheaper, hold 180 balls and only one speed (upgradeable).
The mouth has been angled and is ~1cm shorter than the Halo/Reloader.

I messed around with a Vlocity Jr last weekend, and from someone who really dosent like the origional vlocitys at all, i have to say, the JR is actually pretty nice. I plan on picking one up sometime.

....no...theyre not.
It is a whole new body which is quite different from the previous model. I honestly havent seen you make a decent post yet, just get out. Or at least learn what the hell your talking about before you post it like you know something.

too bad the lid is more angled as already stated and I believe they are already big-mouthed, at least all the new VLocity's in my local shop are, I didn;t get to check out the Jr. yet, didn;t have time when I was there today
