So £320 for there top of the range bat. Seems about average pricing in today's standards.

this brand really does bring the kid out in me, but is it just me or do the softs look pretty cheap and nasty, especially for those prices. just think what you can get for near £100 pad wise. a lot better than that I would say. And chances are the bats will be pretty poor on the whole, might get a few decent ones. conjecture, but conjecture backed by experience of big companies looking to make money and not providing the quality assurance you'd hope for.

On the romida site it's the same bat in the MP LE, 1000, 3000 & 5000 pictures with different grips and probably photoshopped stickers.
Naughty?

They are probably stock photo's given to them by Spartan. Once they mention they have stock in, I will take a visit to the Leatherhead store and see what they are like.

Prices seem pretty good for the retail market - good pricepoints being hit.

And signing Prior, could be a masterstroke.

Yes probably are stock photos, but if you are selling a 5000 with a grain sheet on it, should you really have a picture of an obviously higher grade bat with the 5000 stickers on it?
I know stock photos are only a guide but if this was on ebay you'd have all reported them by now!

Love the bat branding.

It's bonkers!

I guess they are going to get sales, even at the top end of the price point.
A good stable of players.

Noticed that too, however, re-looking at the site think it mentioned that those bats will be coming in April

love the chris gayle stuff, my wife is carribean so hoping she gets me one on the basis of the rasta colours

reminds me of the old centurion bats

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Centurion-Pro-Cricket-Gloves-/151014338200?pt=UK_Protective_Equipment&var=&hash=item232927ee98

if i owned a bat company this would be my colour scheme.

Anyone know anything about the Romida exclusivity? Was surprised to read that and don't actually believe they could have an exclusive deal...
