Wait. I’ve heard they play smoother, have better spacers, and a better surface finish. But it will be more expensive. ---

Nope, it’ll be more expensive. Not sure how much though. ---

> [@MYNAMEISZen](#): > > So it’s more expensive to buy a Yeti for $40 rather than $60-$100? I’m saying if he waited for the colored ones, they’ll be slightly more. Edit: just noticed he only wanted black, not colored. So yeah, black will most likely be $40. And have the better features I already mentioned. ---

He’s asking if he should wait for the next run of black Yetis or buy one off of the BST. They’ll be virtually the same based on what I hear, except the next run will come with improved spacers. I’d just wait, Mordo. The Yeti is a great throw, but not worth the high prices some people are charging on the BST. The black ones will be the same $40 that the preproduction run was. But, if you can manage to find a used one for a reasonable price, get it. ---

You can’t lowball retail stores so I’d say get one off the BST. ---

I would wait. The original one had problems with the bearing spacer. The newer ones have that problems fixed.
