Just to be clear, I’m not saying the Harbinger is bad or even not good. This thing is solid. I only suggest the latter because I love the way the RBC feels in my hand. I can definitely respect that they are two different things. I’m just saying, quite frankly, I wish all throws had the RBC feel to them ---

Just want to throw this out into the either. What would be super cool is some type of hardened shield type paint so I can have a carry everywhere beater harbinger. Because this thing is freakin amazing I want to carry it around without a care in the world. ---

I honestly don’t think you guys would have any problems selling another run of these. Not at all!! What a fabulous throw. I share the sentiment that the Harbinger filled the void that I felt like I needed an Alleycat 650b to fill. I feel like I got more than what my imagination was telling me the Alleycat would be…and I got more than what I imagined the Harbinger would be. It has high walls and it will stall like nobody’s business…I can’t stall worth poo but I can stall this super easy. But I can also do Matrix on it with ease despite the high walls. I am not that great at throwing and I don’t know too many tricks yet…but I do know what’s nice…and the Harbinger is super nice. The ring of the high quality metal is sooooo soothing…so satisfying. And you just want to keep throwing it. This is such a capable and comfortable throw with many satisfying qualities… I would buy even more in the future. Major Major Applause you guys!! ---

I don’t really like the Harbinger being compared to the AlleyCat. I had one once and didn’t like it at all. Lol The Harbinger is much different. BUT… I can see some shape smilarities but the comparison stops there. ---

I get that. I think for me it was more the idea of what I thought it was. It was the unattainable thing and it was the shape of it that conjured the images of what it might be like to hold and throw. I don’t always get my thoughts fully out there and the parts that I do get out…I can see sometimes coming across in a way that’s not what I intended. I can’t say much for anybody else, but for me I can say that what the Harbinger turned out to be…was far beyond what my imagination was able to conjure up. It filled a longing that I’ve had since picking yo-yos up again a year ago and it has in 2 days become something I will go to extremes to make sure I always have with me from this day forward. I can’t really and wasn’t really making a comparison as I’ve never thrown a 650 before…what I’m saying is that the Harbinger literally took away my desire to have a 650. Which was a pretty strong desire. Take that for what it is…a compliment. That is all I mean it to be. ---

I thought the stock string color didn’t look right so I didn’t use it. (I’m a designer, I can’t help it! Lol) Been using Kitty Fat FC, but it’s acting semi-responsive on me. I got some silicone grease for the bearing, but do I have to de-shield that tiny thing?? 😆 ---
