    Probably a GL800/900. They're thicker but shorter.

        It's pretty simple actually:

        There are pretty much two groups:

        The long ones are the 200, 500, 700, and 1200. Each one gets longer and thicker than the previous one, except the 1200 which is about the same length as the 700, but much thicker.

        The thick ones are the 800 and 900. They're much shorter than the others, but thicker - the GL900 is about an inch thicker than the 1200, but less than half the length.

          I still have my 1200 and 700s, I really like the length.

            The GL1200s are my favorite. They're great for riding, especially with a partner

              Today I bought my first GL1200 balloons at Loonerworld. I can't wait when the balloons arrived.

                Still didn't get the GL's . It looks like the parcel is missing by DHL . And if I looking on the internet I am not the only one who's parcel is missed by DHL... There are cases where the signment is faked by the deliveryman... I don't buy anything anymore at webshops who is doing business with DHL.

                  Maybe the deliveryman is a looner. Spots the contents are balloons on the customs label, fakes the signature & has fun.

                    It might still show up. I noticed that the shipping often takes a while when I've ordered from Germany, even though it shouldn't. I've had to wait two weeks sometimes, while when I order from Denmark it usually only take three or four days and that's not that much closer.

                      Loonerworld ships discreetly so that's not really likely.

                        Finally I got the package. It was very well hidden at the service point of DHL... Now I have to find some time to inflate the balloons .

                          Especially for GL1200s, make sure to squeeze the air towards the far end as it inflates so that the far end inflates first - otherwise the neck end will be a lot more stretched and it will look like a giant carrot (and pop more easily)

                          Here's a YouTube video showing what I mean

                            I've always wanted to play with a GL balloon.
