Replying to 08 armada AND volkl VS 09/10 versions

asked this about the pipe cleaners but decided a new thread would be best since ive changed the criteria.

i found 08 walls in my size for way cheap but i remember hearing pullout issues with them (i had this problem with my 09 ar6s)

so i was wondering if i was correct with that statement or not and if anything has changed in the newer models.

ALSO

i found the 08 pipe cleaners in my size for way cheap. so has anything changed since 08 in the pipe cleaner category??

thanks!
