Apparently they were selling well in the UK, I am not too sure about the US though. However I am glad they have stopped it now as considering the Granda's if they made them now then they would probably be a nightmare to sort out.

About Lava Lite - basically from what I have heard there has been a new owner / CEO of lava Lite and the new management didn't really like lava lamps or had any passion for them so decided to cut costs. They moved production to china and also cut the decent ranges that they made in the 80's - 90's (i.e. the ceramic series, phycodelic swirl, electric series etc). When the move first happened it was kinda ok as the formula and the quality didn't differ too much. However as time has gone on…

When the move first happened it was kinda ok as the formula and the quality didn't differ too much. However as time has gone on they have made further cuts - messed up the formula trying to save a fue bucks, low quality of the globes, reduced the coil size..... the list goes on.<br/><br/>During this time they also decided to stop production of the colossus (even though they were selling like hot cakes) and put money into pointless advertising and marketing - which just doesn't make sense.<br/><br/>The thing is that this is all kinda back-fired as peace lamps have a better flow then Lava Lite lamps and customers and shops are getting the message that they shouldn't waste there money on there lamps. <br/><br/>As for the collector series, I think there attempt at that was the designer series which did create a lot of interest on hear but when a review was made we realised that it was the same old rubbish just trying to look cool.<br/><br/>The thing is now is that lava lamps weren't what they were - in the 80'-90's LL and Mathmos weren't afraid to try new and cool things (especially LL) and they were doing well from it. It seams that no one wants to mass produce big lamps or funky designs, I say bring back the 90's when there was plenty of funky stuff.<br/><br/>However saying that I think that lava lamps are going through a lot of change - Mathmos may or may not be interested in making bigger or more funky designs but they seam to be modernising lava lamps. - From a space and furteristic idea of the 80's to sleek and stylish grown up items of the modern home. - But is that really what we want or the collectors / enthusiasts want?

Sad part is, I remember going in there for something back in the 90's and seeing the HUGE wall of lava lamps. It was a build your own setup. Tons of options - literally. Now the lava lamps they do have are about 5, the same colors for the last few years and have been remanded to the highest shelf in the store. Pretty sad.<br />
<br />
The store itself seems to cater to sex stuff now mostly. Adult oriented gag junk. Very little is what it used to be years back sadly.
