    Yeah it couldn't have been a patent thing, those expire after 15 years. I'd bet people didn't see the profit in copying something like a pod as likely only players like you guys would appreciate the differences. The Facebook crowd would be buying whatever garbage HK army produced by the container load and leaving them on the field because they couldn't be bothered to wash out last games broken paint

      Do such players really exist? I've worked with pros that treated SPONSORED gear like this, which was understandable since they had negative incentive to take care of it since it wasn't theirs to begin with.

    People wanted the rights to the name, because cool people knew fatboy pods were the good shit for ages. Its something to build a brand around. I went in on half of a full box of them back when they were not a big deal to get. It doesn't seem like long ago but I guess 15 years ago is a long time.

    The dye alpha pods like above are better than the fatboy pods in every dimension. The tube itself is of higher quality material that is less crack prone, the lid is of higher quality material that is less crack prone. The lid tab is protected, just like the fatboy pods were. Just like fatboy pods, there is no separate collar, which is another one of their distinguishing features.

    I love fatboy pods. I love the brand. But they don't do anything that a currently available pod doesn't do.

    FYI the dye alpha pod used to be called the proto alpha pod.

      I just wish the alpha pods had a bit more of a pronounced tab
