I think they were absorbed by Hell's Angels ... or was that Satan's Choice? ... or maybe it was Taster's Choice? ...

Does this mean we will soon be seeing them on display at Target, Walmart or Kmart?

khogan, what these "poop" heads are trying to tell you, in their usual subtle ways, is to forget about getting a set of pipes from there. Right, guys? Cheap and easy just doesn't work in this realm. Order a set from a reputable maker, or keep your eyes on this forum for pipes up for sale, and on ebay.

the closest thing to "cheap and easy" that I can recommend is Tim Britton's rebuilt sets...they'll set you back about $2600 with a three to six month wait (last time I checked) for a full set...not as wonderful as a handmade set from scratch, but if the $$$ is the difference between piping and not piping then go for it...I own a set and recommend it...
