Title: 26 glen blue availability
Post by: FatBottomGrills on January 29, 2021, 06:20:01 PM
Is the glen blue 26 run over? I hope not, I've been saving my ducats and was ready to purchase it but can't find it for sale. There were plenty on Webers site last month. If anyone has inside info, let me know. Thanks guys

Been watching the Weber website and saw that they took the grill off the site completely.  I'd bet they're bringing another color before long.  Hoping for a yellow 18" or 22".

Weber is finished with the 26" Glen Blue run.  A few months ago, there were plans for the introduction of an 18.5" Spring Green Weber Smokey Mountains.  I don't know if the plans have changed.

That would help ease the pain. Thanks for the report fellas. A little sick I didn't get in earlier but good things always around the corner. @BamaKettles, I hope you're right about a potential yellow release

I went back/forth on picking up a glen blue 26 and finally pulled the trigger in mid December.  Still haven't unboxed it and probably should just to make sure it's not damaged in any way.  A yellow 18 or 22 would be pretty cool.  I like what Weber did with the glen blue 26 - felt like a throwback, but it was actually a grill that hadn't existed in the wild previously.  If they started re-making collectible grills (Aristocrat, yellows, etc) it would certainly make some folks happy, but might frustrate part of their collector-base by reducing market prices on collectible grills - why spend $1k plus on a vintage/mint Aristocrat/Westerner if I can pick one up fresh off the line for under $500.  I know there are differences between vintage build quality vs. current materials/build-quality - but a lot of folks could probably look past that to get their "grail".  Just my $.02 - I like their current approach - offering color/size combinations that are unique - creating new "grails" for the future.

Is there a picture of that? That sounds cool.

Spring green WSM would be cool but I also wouldn't be shocked to see the European Glen Blue MT released stateside as well.

I sent Weber an email the other day asking about glen blue: "when are you going to release a Master Touch kettle in glen blue?"

Their reply was: "Thank you for reaching out to us.

While we do not have plans in the near future to offer a Glen Blue Master-Touch, I will be happy to forward your interest to the appropriate team.

Weber is constantly working on ways to improve our products and our customer experience and many of our product updates are a direct result of consumer feedback."

Maybe if they get enough interest, they will offer them here in the US.

Released in OZ and already have scalpers wanting $1500 for one as it was limited. I don't think we hold the cards on colours that's for sure

The scalping on everything this year has been ridiculous.  There really needs to be a law against marking up merchandise over the manufacturer recommended price for anything released in the last (at least) 12 months.  Some countries have started looking into it, but unfortunately I am sure that businesses like eBay and Facebook will heavily lobby against it.  I mean first we had people hoarding medical supplies and hand sanitizer to sell, then it was toilet paper, and now it is starting to affect a lot of other items as manufacturers are still trying to catch up from the shut down and other coronavirus related issues. 

If you have been following what is going on with the PS5 it has gotten BAD.  Like people breaking into moving delivery trucks to steal PS5s bad.  Everyone thought it was going to get better soon, but now their are shortages on electronic supplies making it worst.  There was a graphics card released about the same time as the gaming consoles that had people breaking into manufacturing facilities to steal and then scalp.  Even delivery drivers for USPS, Fedex, and UPS have been caught stealing delivery packages.   

What has made it particularly bad is technology and irresponsible retailers that don't care as long as they sell their stock.  It used to be that to buy something like a gaming console or whatever you had to stand in line or register to get just one (maybe two if you go to multiple retailers), but now they are using bots and software to seek out any inventory on the web and instabuying it all making the average consumer has no chance.  When a retailer lets go of stock it allows one person to get say 5-10 orders in while the average buyer might be lucky to get one.  Inventory of thousands of items are literally sold in less than two minutes and you have to spam click in hopes that your order gets through.  Websites were crashing and glitching from all of the bots and people trying to buy.  I got lucky by continuously inputing an order over and over on a glitchy Best Buy website and had one order go through.  Preorders we getting cancelled so much that I got lucky later and got a second preorder elsewhere just in case.  I fortunately had both show up at my doorstep and sold the second PS5 to a friend at cost. 

Lets just hope they don't start doing this with Weber too.  >:(

Looks like a deal - betting it sold quickly.

Man, part of me kind of hopes not because bright colored 26'rs would be an instant buy for me.  :D
