Wow, just finished my checkout. With shipping these puppies came in at $710.52 USD. Ouch. But I have one on the way.
Thanks MLYYM!

Dazzler made it up on the other webstore’s inventory page and is listed as sold out. I just made it. Worth staying up late for for sure.
OMFG, over $700? It must be nice to have more money than you know what to do with. Man, I suck.
Yes. 68 total auroras. I had the last one
Update, YYE may be able to special order me one. Great news!! T.A. may be in on this one after all. ;D But, if not, it just was not meant to be.
I have to make choices how to spend my money. I can’t buy everything I want… yet. ;D
We’ll see what happens if my business takes off. Then you’ll see some obscene yoyo buying.
That would be nice! Should be 2 left.
I forgot a bit of detail. YoyoExpert said the Dazzler was offered to him and is only an exclusive at that other place, for the first run. So, there may be a few left of the first run, but apparently there will be another run. I will likely be getting one from another run.
That’s great news. Just spent all my loot. Time to sell and save!
Well that still cool. Hopefully its true for your sake. One thing I’ve learned in my short 2 months into this hobby is, many things you hear and read can be taken like a grain of salt. You just never know what to believe. It may be that this is more of a hobby geared towards younger people and words get flipped around more so than other hobbies that tend to have more adults participating in them. But I heard and read both from sales/company it was exclusive while also only being “a” limited run.
I personally would have waited like I did with the Hyperion but oh well. I buy electronics from many different countries but would rather buy from YYE for sure. Shipping alone would have saved me a cheap throw.
Do you know how they normally do second runs? Like will it be different in any way if had to guess?
Well, this is not definite. But, apparently a few inquiries were made with YYE on this throw, not just mine. Based on those inquiries, and the fact that the Dazzler was offered to YYE to begin with, he thinks he can special order it. Due to the price conversion though, there will not be a “drop,” where they appear in the store. So, I’m waiting for the follow up in that regard, but I am prepared to buy it, if YYE can get them.
I bought throws from other stores, not that one, but another in Japan. But, this will be the most expensive throw I have ever bought. When the spending gets “up there,” I get more and more choosey about where the money goes and to whom. The fact that I will never be able to collect all titaniums, releases me from any pressure to get every single one. Especially, this 63g throw. But, if YYE can get them, this was meant to be for me.
I will keep you updated.
I too would rather spend my money here, but like the Hyperion, I’d rather have one than not, so I bought at my first opportunity. I would have preferred to pay the $650 as well, but, well, sometimes you gotta get them where they are if you want 'em bad enough.
Any smart company would make another run if enough inquiries were made. I say that from looking in from the outside as I know its not really that simple but there has to be a large profit margin at $650ea even with the obvious technological uses of the Ti in this one. I mean like you keep saying 63g at its size shows that they pushed the envelop with this one for sure. It’s not undersized by any means.
I can only imagine how light its going to feel as the Hyperion feels like a feather compared to most of my other throws.
I couldn’t help but wonder myself, what the profit must be on a throw like that. That is one of the main reasons I wanted to buy from a specific store. As I have gotten older, I’m more okay with waiting than I used to be. I’m also okay with just not getting what I want, when it doesn’t make the most sense. I just hope that everything falls in place for me that this one makes sense for me.
In the meantime, for this first run, I plan to live vicariously through you and RobK, and I will be paying very close attention to your reviews of it. I am sure Stickman might have one as well. I am happy to have a little network of Ti hunters to keep me in the know.
Thanks for keeping me updated.
Yeah, I have gotten better at this, but my line for what makes sense is still a little out of whack. :-\
I should add that sometimes my choices still don’t make the best “sense” but timing is perfect. There are times when I want something, and it does not make the most sense to bother with it, but I happen to have some money to spend at that time, so the choice to buy seems much easier.
One feature I love about this store that I don’t see in many others, is the ability to see the number of available stock. It allows you to plan your purchases accordingly, and I’m a huge fan of that. There are a few things I have been watching, and it’s nice to know there is no rush to grab it, before it disappears.
Oops, didn’t mean to thank you, but you’re welcome anyway
Just letting you know, I think you have the BSP and the BTH mixed up. The BTH is the 220 31minute sleeping yoyo, while the BSP is a yoyo made by anti-yo, the BTH is made by c3.
The bth is already pretty heavy, and if it was made of ti, I’m pretty sure it would be quite a lot heavier… (Correct me if I’m wrong)
I agree with that feature being great. I am monitoring a few items myself…
Every store should have this.
Titanium is more dense than aluminum, so you’re right. Steel would have been heavier still…
If it was steel they probably wouldn’t be able to throw it xD
Their hand would just fall off.
I swear mine nearly does when I throw it so even being ti probably wouldn’t feel good to throw xD…
