lol how freaking sad is it that people in the UK can still get the colossus and they are crystal clear!!!?? I live within 1 hour of LavaLite offices and their warehouse and I'd still have a better chance getting one in the UK........

What makes you say that - the lamps coming out of LL are rubbish across the board (and we all know that so lets not go there) I thought untill they stoped making the collouss they were ok.

Are there still collossus's in the LL warehouse in the US.

I know they are, but whenever I see a LL lamps from the UK they usually look way better then the ones here in the US. And you cant buy colossus here anymore. And jim and I have tried to get them from LL directly but they wont sell them to us,

I am not too sure about that - lots of LL lamps in the uk are bad as well - they may look clear but from my experance they dont flow at all or if they do then there isent much at all.

I'd just like to get a Colossus globe to replace a broken one...but LL wont sell.  Any ideas??

glass blower? $$$$$

[Jethro]

I'd just like to pry one away from the stock that LL is sitting on...I only need the globe, so they wouldn't have to worry about electrics, bulbs or goo.  

Yes, i've thought about a glass blower, but borosilicate is though to work with.

[Astralav]

Do you think they've got some of them in stock?

I doubt it, I heard the last lamps were sold on clearance.

[Tim Gill]

I doubt it too - if they have any I would really question getting one which has been sitting around a warehouse for some time as it may be dammaged, cloudy, not flowing etc.

I just want an empty globe to replace a broken one.  I'd be surprised if they dont have parts as good customer service would dictate.
