I understand Giant Dragon has gone bust. I loved the meteorite long pimple (red .5 pips) but cannot find any now. Does anyone know of any comparable rubber.

Yes really annoying as it is a nice long pip for attacking with and quite easy for an SP or MP player to use -probably due to the fairly stiff grippy pips and the sponge not being a deadening type.

One forum member likened it to Desperado though probably in OX as Dr N LP sponges are usually slow. Monster classic might be another option which I have briefly tried in OX and it had a similar firm pip feel as Meteorite and easy to attack with.

I’ve only heard rumors but it’s quite clear that their products have either disappeared or gone down in stock in a lot of web shops that normally carry Giant Dragon.

It would not surprise me if they've gone bust. They were impossible to to deal with as a shop, so I think most shops just dropped them, which made it even harder for them. It's a shame, as they had some really good products.
