Ok... so I know LA has some stuff that they have to try to sell, but I am SO wondering about the picasso's they're selling now..So, 1st look at the stripes, not that impressive.. 2nd, notice the "female" that has the under-bite? I might just be totally un-impressed.. but these don't look anywhere near the $180 price tag theyr'e asking.

I like the markings, but the bulldog look isn't attractive at all.

You're right, I wouldn't dish out $180 for these either.

I hate to be the nay-sayer here... seems like that's all I've done in the CF/Anem forums lately, and LA's just putting out what they get, apparently they're getting it too... but why? theres gotta be some quality control somewhere along the line. I guess if ORA's going to try and sell every picasso pair they raise, they're gonna get some bad ones. The last few, though, have seemed less than par IMO. I was already over the line as far as going w/ Rod's Onyx goes (will buy a pair when I can), but they're not helping their cause, in any way, releasing sub par stuff like this for high dollar amts.

Is it known for sure that LA is dealing ORA picassos, I have to agree those aren't the best looking ones I've seen. My LFS is an ORA dealer and usually what comes in is awesome and for lack of a better term, the way you'd want your piccassos to look?

Idk, $180 is alot but i think they look alright, but maybe it's just me cuz im kinda new to the hobby...just thought i'd throw my opinion out there...and don't they get more black as they grow? or do they stay this orange...if they do i think i must agree with you guys
