Still nothing on 2016?
« on: October 07, 2015, 01:57:25 PM »
I can't believe it is now October and we still have not heard anything slip out about what is to come in 2016.  Makes me think we are going to have black, green, copper, and crimson and the MT in black only.  I need a 26 and would love a color!

2015 was a complete overhaul of the entire line:

New names for almost every product
New ash catchers
New Lid bales
New tables
New wheels

I dont expect many changes for 2016, i would assume that they keep the 2015 lineup mostly unchanged this year.

No changes for 2016 guys.  I work at ACE Hardware corporate, and can confirm that.

@polishmartin - If you don't have anything nice to say....   LOL

Bummer, I was hoping to see some new colors.  I guess they did make a lot of changes in 2015.  I do love my 2015 ash catcher on my old performer so I guess I can't complain.

At least get the top vent positioning right. Colors look nice but the functionality of the 2015 lid is dog crap. And I don't like the pinch ash catcher bucket, pre-2015 is a superior system.

I don't love the pinch system either. Maybe it grows on me but as of now it's a PIA and I think I have decent grip strength.

Like Austin said if your not going to introduce anything new at least fix the ideas that clearly are not working. The vent and the ash catcher should be addressed and give me back my old style handle as well.

Don't know if the 2016 catalog was posted anywhere else but here's a link to it I found:

Looks like they got rid of the Crimson. No crying here. It means mine is now limited edition. The first $200 takes it. 😎
But seriously, they just can't get the red color right. First brick red, then the flat crimson. What's next?

This may be the standard big box retailer catalog for 2016. Crimson is only offered at "premium" retailers like Ace. It appeared in the 2015 "premium dealer" catalog but not the regular one.  Looks like the handle positions isn't changing back but I'm not surprised either.
