Okay so some of our personal feedback on the BBs and those gleaned from the weekend.
Obviously we've been testing them out in our basements for a few months, etc. with no issues but seeing as we use only about a handful of types/makes/models of magazines/hop units/guns we can't really anticipate all the scenarios.

Based solely on the feedback that we got on Sunday they seem to be pretty good, we did get some comments. In no particular order:

Unbeatable price for the quantity that you get (this seemed to be the overall theme)
Elite Force Bio BBs fly straighter - less deviation (.28 EF vs .28 Bioshot) - based on one user's recollection of EF's performance. Didn't have EF's on-hand to do a head-to-head
A few random fliers from the Bioshot .32s
.28g seem to be pretty darn consistent in coloration and texture and flight
No jams, but there was a report of a feeding issue with Beta Project PMags (but then again, who doesn't have problems with those?)
Verified to work in the following stock guns: Echo1 M4, ICS L85, CYMA MP5K, LCT AKM
Verified to feed from the following magazines: PTS PMags, PTS EMags, Lonex Flashmag, Socom Gear Lancer mags (or were they Troy mags?.. same thing) MAG brand AK mags and the stock mags of the guns above.
Verified to feed through the following barrels: Prometheus 6.03, Madbull 6.03, Lonex 6.03, stock brass barrels of various makes/models
Verified to work with the following hop systems: PDI WHold, Rhop, Prometheus flathop, Prometheus bridge hop, Xhightech flat hop, standard hop
The zippers on the bags suck, but the bags themselves seemed to be OK and they don't fall over. (notified Bioshot, but then again, is that really a dealbreaker or are good bags selling-points? Maybe. I kind of dig Madbull bags actually)
The Bioshots smell funky (also seems to be a recurring theme)
Some issues with a Gemtech Oasis NBB pistol, curiously worked like a charm through a KWA Kriss and other GBBs.

In any case, going to run them again this Sunday.
Keep the reviews coming - good or bad. If they really do suck shit, we'll stop carrying them.
