Spoke to lava lamp today aka Schylling

[kero48]

So I called lava lamp today to inquire about stock on the glitter grande bottles and black bases. Stock is low so I will most likely buy one.

From what I gather from my brief conversation, they don't know what will and what will not be continued however, grandes in particular are up in the air and there is a chance they might not continue them. If they do, the selection will be ultra limited from what I was told.

This also goes for the entire line.

it seems they have their hands full trying to get their act together in terms of how to run an fullfill the orders.

I was informed though the the lavalamp site will most likely be folded in their own site and will not be standalone anymore.

It could be a matter of months from what I was told.

Again, who knows how accurate this info is but I advise anyone who needs anything grande wise get it from where ever you can like walmart as I doubt the grande future is bright.

With regards to the glitter grande, I am jumping on one while they because I feel they will never be made again.

Also, I asked to speak to Susan and was not allowed to talk with her.

Hmm i habe 4 grandes now.. One in coming in the mail... 1 of my first 3 were clear.. the other 2 i redid to orange liquid and green liquid..  My 4th coming ima change to a cyan color.

But i have no glitter lamp... tbh i dont like glitter lamps all that much.

And i havent seen a grande glitter before..  Does anyone have an actualy picture of thwir glitter grande ?  The pictures lava light take are always fake and computer enhanced.

Id like to see a real picture before i consider spending 100$.

Personally i think this company that bought lava light is going to run them into the ground..

Well if lava lite goes under.  Then one can hope Mathmos can sell to the United States.

one would think but maybe they have no interest in selling in the u.s.

Personally id rather have a 20$ spencers option then be forced to pay 100$ for a 32oz globe..  But thats just me..  Besides my grandes i havent had issues with the 10 lamps i got from spencers chinese or not.  

Mathnos cant sell here.. It isnt that they dont want it.. but they cant.. Its illegal.. They sold the patent in 65 i believe to lava light.. and if mathmos tries to sell here they would be committing a crime..  Im dead serious  Even if the lava lamp company goes out if business the patent and rights to the name is still owned by someone..  Mathmos may be the original by a a year or two but after that they had nothing to do with lamps in the united states..  And they screwed themselves by selling the rights.

i believe you are right about the patent thing even if schylling scraps lava lamp. they will still own all their intellectual property

Some other company was selling lava lamp tubes in spencers i forgot thr name but it was chinese stuff.. lava light went after them and they havent been sold since because it was illegal.

Just like the person who made that magnetic fluid for lava lamps.. they went after him for his use of the name lava lamp..  The people on ebay selling those tall tubes called lava lamps.. Im suorused they havent had a lawsuit yet.

To this day, most of the Spencer's stores you walk into have a small disclaimer card in front of the LL display explaining that Lifespan Brands is the sole patent holder to the LL shape/configuration and are not liable for the performance of any other tubular "motion" lamps sold in Spencer's

I have several photos posted for glitter grandes untouched - several are two grades I recently purchased with color globes. The globes sucked in terms of the spray job applied to them so I scraped the paint off and  now have two awesome  silver glitter clear liquid lamps.  I also have two custom grande glitter lamps in gold rainbow glitter using original lava lite liquids and glitter and they are by far my favorite lamps in my living room that get used daily.  I think the glitter lamps are just as awesome if not more popular right now than lava lamps.  Every time I have a guest or client come over they ask about my glitter lamps and how to buy. When I tell them they are not available they get so bummed out.  Glad I have mine.  I also purchased a blue glitter grande from a member here.  It reminds me of starry nights in the desert.  So AWESOME!
