How does the Valkyrie compare to the Draupnir? If I remember correctly, the description on the Valkyrie page says they were trying to top Draupnir with this design.
I’ve never played a Draupnir before, so here is a quote from Jordan Blofeld, of Smashing Yoyos, comparing the two.
"The Draupnir is very fast, very light, very stable, very forgiving… it’s just very good at everything. Usually, for a yoyo to be this good at everything, it needs to be much heavier but the way the Draupnir is designed. it does it at 63g which is wicked light so going fast is effortless.
The Valkyrie is an entirely different beast. It’s not as fast, it’s quite a lot heavier but for that, it’s MORE stable, MORE forgiving and spins with more power."
These yoyos are posted to Facebook, Reddit, and here. Someone I am close with on FB has been interested in the Steamboat since I got it. I offered the same price to him and he asked that I hold it for him for a couple of days to see if he could get the cash together.
