AT PRESENT WE HAVE NO PLANS TO PRODUCE THIS BALL. THE COST OF PRODUCTION AND SHIPPING HAVE GONE UP 600% SINCE WE LAST MADE THIS BALL. WE DON'T WANT TO BE THE ONE TO BRING BACK $15 PIMPLEBALLS! SINCE WE OWN THE MOLD IT'S UNLIKELY ANYBODY ELSE WILL EITHER.

Some backstory: we bought the original mold from eagle rubber in 2002 and spent the next 9 years trying to get the pimpleball sourced in the USA. No companies were interested. An agent got us into a factory in China and in late 2011 they produced a pimpleball for us and a company affiliated with 5 Below. This ball was produced a few times and by 2014 that was it. The ball was too hard and didn't have a good bounce. We had a test ball produced in early 2020 by a company in India that we were very pleased with but unfortunately due to the pandemic in Inia the company is no longer in business. And they disappeared with our money and our mold!
We tried to source a new ball in Hong Kong and recently in Vietnam. The costs of remaking the mold, producing and shipping the ball to the United States is still ridiculous. RetroPhilly/RetroSportco are the sole producers and rights holders of the pimpleball. Others have claimed to have a mold and/or the ball in production somewhere but that is untrue. We are the one and only. Companies that have been selling the ball online either bought from us or 5 Below in bulk years ago and resold it at wildly inflated prices. At present we have no interest in bringing this ball back. A minimum order of 10,000 units would cost $45,000 plus shipping and tarfiffs. Would you put up that kind of money for a ball that was popular 60 years ago and ony sold in Philly and Boston markets?!? If so, please contact us and you can be our financial partner! We will continue to update our sites if new details become available. IF YOU SEE ONE FOR SALE ONLINE, PLEASE KNOW IT WAS MADE 14 YEARS AGO AND PROBABLY HAS LITTLE BOUNCE LEFT THESE DAYS.
