So apparently what I thought was the delivery notification was the shipping notification! We probably won’t have them until tomorrow at some point - so i’ll update with an actual release date!

Called Sean about this - he anticipated a higher bgrades on certain colors. So this specific color only a handful, unfortunately.

Just my POV:

Freebird OG: The most Duncan feel, and surpassing the Freehand AL spintimes (surprisingly)

Freebird II: more modern, more control: preferred for 1A/5A, closest to Freehand Specs (if you are comfortable to that size)

Freebird III: more modern, more control: preferred for 1A/3A, this is wider as well.
