Anyone know the cost?

Literally about to ask this. Also Itâs actually just aluminum with a stripe painted on it, no?

Yes just paint.
My guess is around 150. They sell their OD metals for 127 normally so with the hand painted i figure a bit higher.

If it ends up being the same price as their Grail Iâll get it, Iâll have to think about it if itâs more.
So many great looking throws being released close together, what a time to be a yoer!

Where do you live? Every package Iâve ever gotten from them has been 1 week or less. Last package I got from them cost them almost $19 Canadian to ship to me. Theyâre charging what it costs them, shipping is what it is, there is no such thing as âFree Shippingâ someone always pays 
Itâs more. Grailâs have been $125ish, this is most likely (from reliable sources) $150+

I live here in the continental US. I know they come from Canada. I donât mind the delay, Jensen and Charles always post their trials and tribulations of getting the drops out and I find that entertaining. That red butcherâs paper isnât free. Thatâs part of the A-rt experience and I appreciate it for what it is. I donât buy all of their yoyos because they are the best, though their design are my preference, I buy their brand because of who they are and I like to support them for bringing their style of yoyo to the community and being themselves. I identify with their carefree artistic style more than I do with any other brand or the pure competition speed players. This is what makes them special and this is why their runs sell out quick.

Looks great as with all their stuff, yet doubt Iâll ever get chance to even try any of their products because Iâm not rich.

Well said BeeebonâŚthese guys are about the only sellers not to embrace cheaper throws like other boutique yo-yo makersâŚ? Why?
Especially when they seem to really support the outcast throwerâŚ
Got news for yâaâŚwe is poor!

I donât really see their throws as over priced for a couple reasons.
- They are made by OD. While ODs are cheaper than a-rts both companies must profit off the sale.
- They hold their value. They intentionally donât flood the market so the consumer can sell it if they decide to and have little to no loss.
- The quality is there in production and design. I would much rather have one a-rt than three $50 metals.
I feel they want to remain as a higher end brand rather than sell to the masses. I respect that and in return you get a throw that is at the best it has the possibility to be. Granted I come from a time where $120 for a monometal wasnât a shock. They also sell out instantly at their high prices so it would be foolish to sell them for less. Supply and demand at work.

I also simply posted my opinion. I wasnât offended and idk about a-rt but I doubt they will ever read this. You did ask âwhy?â In your post and while that was surely rhetorical i decided to post my opinion and why they are worth the high entry fee for me personally.
