That green and black is incredible! I love the name, “sodas and skateboards” as well. Super nostalgic 😄 Do you have a price estimate for these bad beetles? ---

the platerodrilus is an inner ring bimetal but id LIKE to hit around the 120-130 ish mark depending on the cost of having the run done. as it stands currently the prototypes are still being made and because of the super low number the price ended up being higher. so i suspect with the actual run they will be easily within my aimed zone oh just a small edit btw that green two tone is actually paired with a softer toned dark blue called “Crown Blue” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/c/9/bc9680b76577d8a58af4f3c5bff5a5cbdd179239.png) ---
