I don't understand....
Bim at 0.03% was not already approved by FDA ???
Was approved a long time ago for Allergan. A generic formula was just approved to be sold by another company. It is probably going to be cheaper.

I thought I remember their CEO saying they were going to test a concentration over 10x as strong.

They already have. Hopefully they are running a phase 3 right now and planning on a release.

How far do you think a realese will be?

Yes, I'm aware they have. It concluded this January, but they have stated results will not be posted until 2016.

Next year. They finished the phase 2b trial in Nov with 10x the concentration they had been previously using, and haven't posted the results of that study. If you check on clinicaltrials.gov it says that the study is ongoing but not recruiting participants. This hopefully means they are engaged in a phase 3 and a pending release.
It's looking good for bimatoprost. Keep your eyes open!

Cool, barring wack side effects a combo of BIM and setipiprant could be really nice.

It comes from Dr. Ken Washenik, who is big in the hair world (medical director at Bosley Medical). He states that "Using these drugs in combination is like taking your foot off-break and stepping on gas at the same time."

These two drugs would be setipiprant and bim.
Actually, that quote refers to fin and minox.

Wrong. Please actually read the material, before spreading misinformation. The article is about new treatments in the pipeline, and was published in March of 2014. He is clearly speaking about bim and a pgd2 blocker. Here's what it says:
Combination Therapy: The true Holy Grail may come from combining a drug like Latisse with a certain type of medication commonly used to treat allergies and asthma. The medication blocks a hormone-like substance that prevents hair from growing. A treatment like this might help with hair growth.
“Using these drugs in combination is like taking your foot off-break and stepping on gas at the same time,” Washenik says
