A Prestige Classic 600 reissue would be awesome! I would definitely pick up two of these sticks!

Agreed.

I would pick a couple of PT280's up if they were made available.

Chris, TW
Pro Tour 630 with C.A.P grommets and you got a deal!

Holy crap is this really happening? I still have my own stock of PC600 from the last re-issue but this is exciting!

I'm not sure if this will happen or not, but it's always nice when someone that works for TW chimes in on a thread like this. It gives us hope that a deal might actually take place. If it does, then I can see plenty of interest in both the Prestige Classic and the PT280.

I wouldn't be shocked if they moved lots of units of the PT630 as long as they got it very nearly correct.

And if they provided a 16x19 variant, they wouldn't keep up with stock

PC600 or PT280 reissue would be wonderful. Country of manufacture is a non-issue. The China PS85 reissue confirms that the quality can live up to a very high standard.

Echo this comment. In addition, if the can reissue the 280 capped same or close to 630 capped, even better.

Come on Chris, don't hold out on us. We know Head™ regards you as a son. Work your magic and get some old Prestige Classic frames produced for us, your loyal minions. We will be forever in your debt - even more than we are already living through you vicariously.

Chris, TW
I personally think the PT630 with C.A.P would sell much better then the "radical" grommet-PT280. Just the numbers "630" on the side makes those frames like a bible for Headīs loyal followers.

A batch of PT630īs is in my world much better then PC600 for the customers of TW. The PT630 is a much easier frame to use then PC600.

And ofcourse,, the design must be this..



Dependning on the price, i know i would atleast buy 5 PT630īs (if the price is like a normal 2012 Head-frame in the 150-190 $ range)

HOOAH! Between the possibility of more pro stocks later in the year, and now this possibility, Chris is in full GOAT mode.

Indeed.

Not sure which ones, but in the TW Questions/Comments there was a thread recently asking for more pro stocks and I saw that Chris mentioned that they're working on possibly getting some more pro stocks later in the year. Nothing confirmed, though, and didn't specify which company. But still, pretty cool that at least they're trying to make something happen.
