Where to find these bean bags?

[t***@googlemail.com]

Hi everybody,

some years ago I bought some bean bags at a convention. They look like this:

Now I'd like to buy some more, but I simply can't find them, neither on- nor offline. They don't have any brand or product name on them.

Does anybody know where I can find these (preferrably in Germany, but any information is appreciated) or who produces them?

Thanks for any pointers!


Regards,
Florian

These look kinda soft, while mine are rather hard. Do you happen to have experience with these?

Although they look slightly different they do look as hard as mine. Thanks for the hints!

They look like tossaballs to me, although tossaballs are american, so the chances
of them showing up on a stall at a weekend convention in germany might be fairly
small.

Of course, I'm assuming that's where you got them, you don't actually say where
you got them.

There is a chap who manufactures balls which I think are probably similar, and
he's based either in germany, netherlands or sweden (my memory is really flailing
at this one) but I can't put a finger on it.

I'll put some feelers out and see if I can come up with any names.

Torben Wigger is the chap I was thinking of, http://madeye.org/~fan/happyaction/
although the balls you've got don't look like his balls.

I got them at an EJC, so there might have been some American vendors present. Torben Wigger's balls look nice, but not really like mine. Thanks anyways!

Looks like a Striker to me (only some have logos on them):

Higgins Brothers used to sell them, but not anymore. Googling brings up
these guys:

I think I've also seen it spelt with "Stryker", but am not positive.
