i think this has been on line's site for a while but i just spotted it and thought all the hardcore pow riders out there might like to see it.

from http://www.lineskis.com/communicate/news.php

THE PROPHET IS COMING!!

Our newest, baddest, fat ski is in production and will be hitting the shelves at a store near you soon. The Prophet is the culmination of Eric Pollard's vision of the future combined with two years of on snow testing, aimed at bringing you the fat ski of the future. The Prophet is huge, at 130mm under foot, but is surprisingly light and agile for its size. This is the ultimate floatation tool that won't leave you stranded on groomed snow.

We're only making 100 pairs of these bad boys, so go to your dealer now and put your name on the list now before they're all gone.

Go to http://www.lineskis.com/dealers/index.php to find the dealer nearest you.

Im sure they have made over 100 if there is such a 'demand' then why would they produce such a small supply? They could make money off this if they made them like 650$ becasue more people are willing to drop that than 800-900 on skis.

Theres no reason for them to produce so few at such a high cost other than simple marketing tactics. I'd never buy em but it'd be fun to play with them on a waist deep day

Nope, each one will look like the prophet posted on the Lineskis web site.

That's what I was wondering so I e-mailed Line, and that is what Mr. Levinthal told me.

also they need to judge how much of a demand there will be for a SUPER fat ski producing only 100 pairs not only lets them see how popular they are it also makes people want them more since there are so little thus making is to if they do have huge sucsess this season they could just blow the market apart, but who knows only reason i would get a pair would be for a AK trip or something.

marketing 101: Make sure the hype is high enough to completely sell out of a product at the absolute price cieling. This means that if they sell out @ 900 they don't have to worry about producing more because the profit curve couldn't get any steeper even if they made 1000. Armada practices this to some degree, but you can still find left over pairs in the summer, not with the new line. Leventhal aint no dummy dummy

every single thread, no matter what it's about, turns into a bitch fest. i mean alot of the time it makes sense, cuz people have conflicting opinions, but this? this was just me letting the people that didn't know know about Line releasing the prophets to the public, but noooo. someone has to bitch. haha. and now i am.
