I saw them advertised somewhere, just trying to find the ad.

Sportsman's Warehouse have something similar, but I think the quality is poor in comparison.
 
I've also been looking for a set of adjustable dumbbells. Did you end up picking up a pair of Powerblocks?

I've had a look on Amazon.com, at the Powerblocks, BowFlex and IronMaster's different products, but I only seem to be able to find the Powerblocks here.

And I've also seen a set of adjustable dumbbells at Sportsman's. Don't think they go up to as high a weight as the Powerblocks do though. And the Powerblocks can be 'upgraded', which is neat.
 
I think its only the pro ones that can be upgraded... haven't yet, but will get some in about 3-months.

The ones at Sportsmans Warehouse are crappy, try switching the weights, lift the dumbbell and put it down, do it a few times, you'll see it eventually doesn't work, because of the stand design, not worth it for R4000.
 
@xrapidx,

You buying the set locally or going to import? It's a pity they can't be bought second-hand anywhere, I'd like to try get one of these:

The set I remember seeing at Sportsman's looked very similar to these:

I definitely agree with you, not worth it at all to get the Sportsmans Warehouse ones.

Good luck on getting the dumbbells, they look really awesome :D .
 
Probably get them locally, I don't think importing them will be a viable option because of the weight, you'll end up paying the same as they cost here with shipping.

Yeh - those look like the Sportsmans Warehouse ones.
 
Hey xrapidx,

Try http://www.fitnessdirect.co.za/ , give them a call. I got the Powerblock + add-on kit from them over a year ago. You'll get a much better price from them, than what you'd get from WantitAll, and you'll have the full warranty (10-years) + support.

I did try them - they said they'd get back to me shortly, never did, I contacted them again for an update, and they ignored me.

According to their website:
Stand -= 3,174
The Elite Set 5-- 50 LBS = 6,159
50-90 LBS add on = 4,278
TOTAL = 13,611

Quite a bit more than wantitall.
 
Speak to Mikael at the CPT branch and ask them for the best price on exactly what you want. Their website's prices aren't up to date. I paid less than that for the whole kit + add-ons. They'll be able to help you and at least you'll be dealing with a distributor that knows the product.
