I'm so excited my buddy was in Canada this week and he agreed to pick me up a sweet spring green mastertouch he sent me this picture of it going in the trunk.
Picked it up at Johnstone's in Vancouver Canada

That is awesome !!
However .... since it is not technically "in your hands", you may want to hold off on celebrating .... Never know what people might do ... ??
Seen many deals go south when there has been pre-mature celebration .... Of course, all of the above is pure conjecture .... :D :D ;) 8) 8) 8)

I just don't understand Weber's marketing. Do they not think that people in the US would not be interested in colors other than black for this grill or not offer some of the accessories here that they have in other countries?

Everyone who sees my colored kettles for the first time always asks if I painted them. Many think that kettles only come in black. Nice spring green BTW!

I talked to the guy at Johnstone's and he told me they contacted weber and said they wanted some different colors than the big box stores in the states and weber said if you agree to buy x amount of units (don't remember the number he said) they would produce them so apparently they agreed and now they get all the cool colors. At least that's what I was told

Just speculation but do you think kettle heads are in the minority? They look at their sales and overall grill sales in the USA and they see much more gas than charcoal? Maybe they are too focused on lowering manufacturing costs and bringing a cost effective product to the consumer. I'll say this. If I went shopping for a new kettle and had to pay a little more for a special color I'd do it without question. That's why I cruise CL a lot, that and I prefer the welded non taco handle kettles. I think they would have a supply issue if the stores started stocking the nice new ivory and spring green.

I have contacted Weber about the same color question. But it falls on deaf ears.. I guess they think
The American market is satuated and the introductions of a new color
Is not going to make us buy it and is not worth the productions cost.. Let's face it
Who is going to spend money on a product that almost the same as what you
Already have.?? I guess never heard of an IPHONE!!!

In BC, he would have paid 12% tax on it. So, add an extra $36 to $299.99 CAD.
Using the following link to get an approximation:
http://www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/exchange/daily-converter/
And, it's $260 USD (rounded up).

That is awesome! The lid on the first pic looks like a lime color. :) Amazing trio! Congrats!
All 4 MT colors are nice, but IMO, Green has so much more color than other 3. It is a chameleon under diff. lighting.
Not that anyone cares, but if I were to go after another MT, it won't be Ivory anymore. I'd go after discontinued Euro spec. One-Touch Premium in Blue Wave or Lemongrass GBS Master Touch.
