@MarkD @anon5341354, if a Macro-RBC as mentioned above 👆is intriguing to you, I’m sure that @Exmime and I would be happy to help provide prototype feedback. 😊

It’s the largest metal one I’ve seen with the same dimensions of the original wooden Spinworthy Harbinger. It feels really powerful, yet not a bully due to its light weight. Specs are: 58.5mm x 32.5mm x 48g. Its made of 7068 AL. It uses the MR85 bearing like the RBC and the same pads. The inside of the cup has a …

Just to clarify, this was the prototype. Mark confirmed that it is currently in production and that they made some changes including a new cup design that has yet to be revealed. Hoping for a pre-Christmas release.

That would be cool for the next run to have colorways for blood types and matching engraving.

@anon5341354 @MarkD , the poll didn’t have an answer for me so I’ll just say that I’ve got two RBCs and I don’t need more personally. But I agree with everyone here who said they should be available. I _would_ buy a bigger one, I _might_ buy a smaller one. Ti or SS would be hard to resist, but I don’t want to ask for something I don’t really need - the AL ones are great.

OTOH, all of this goes with the caveat that if the re-run comes instead of something new, I’d enjoy seeing more new designs. Maybe a collab with @edhaponik @DocPop KN or other masters if it’s responsive. It was nice to hear that the metal harbinger is in production (assuming I understood that post).

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, but they are all becoming a little overwhelming.

Mark and I will cook up something great if there is any new version of the RBC. We want there to be something because there is more potential we can squeeze out of the design.

We’ll figure it out, and you will be happy with what we come up with. 😃

(re: Harbinger)  
It will be pre-2024-Christmas! I accidentally spent 3 months designing packaging for it and finally ordered the packaging this week. It’s at least 45 days out from having everything I need for a release, though I’ll have the Harbingers before then.

As Glen said, we’re cooking up some new ideas… but I think the RBC shape still has some life to it!

The RBC is likely to remain my favourite. Above everything else, I enjoy how it feels in my hand and on the catch. Edit: So I’m glad to hear that you still think the design has more potential.

I have 2 RBC’s but if a red one were made available I’d be quite tempted to get another. I have been quite ready to pull the trigger on that Metal Harbinger since seeing the prototype. I feel like that would also be very well received by all.

I have way more Yoyos than I need at this point. I have become very selective. I have one Ti throw. The RBC is probably the only additional Ti throw that I would purchase.

Oh my gosh! You boys might’ve outdone yourselves on this one. You outdo yourselves all the time but definitely on this one. I would definitely need another rbc and would definitely buy another if these came out. I’d buy another if I could find a red aluminum too.

Were going the other way. Instead of going smaller with the poy rbc, we’re going bigger.

I need 2 more RBC’s. 1 set up for fixed play and one set up with the wider bearing.

I would also commit to a PolycaRBC.
