How do they compare to Prestige? WHat colors do they have. and what is there price like? I too am really discouraged with Q balloons. A BIG THANKS TO YOU!!! Mike's RESPONSE: You can call 1-800-338-0973 and a very helpful person will be able to point you in the right direction. I don't know where you live, but you should buy within your area to save on postage. I haven't used too many Prestige balloons as I am happy with BSA right now. The prices are about 20% or more, lower than Qualatex. For instance: BSA 11" is about $9.25 for standard colors, Qualatex is $11.65. Standard BSA 5" is about $3.80, where Qualatex is $4.85. You make the call. Colors: they have about 50 colors and I just heard from someone that attended Eastern States Balloon Symposium that they introduced a neat sounding fish print that goes inside a clear fish print. They are sending me a sample as we do a lot of tropical parties. Sounds neat. AND the animal prints are great too. Just used them for a zoo party and they were a HIT. Also, heard that BSA was the first to distribute them, not Pioneer. Does that mean we will be discussing another law suit here?
