Or sound sweet I should say. 
Had to get a 28 stories. I wasnāt really planning on picking up the AC, but when you just happen to check and thereās a 28 stories CLYW left, you pretty much have to buy it. At least thatās my rule.
Iād probably attribute it to the cost. This run is mostly special edition colorways and that comes with some pretty major sticker shock. Especially when people already know a lighter run is coming on the 28th, and will probably include more base priced colorways.
I was going to buy that!!! My fiancĆ©e surprised me with an arctic circle. Iām very lucky to have her!!! I got the 28s by the way
The 28th of next month? For the 3rd run?
I donāt know if thatās relevant info anymore actually.
I need this thing, I also need $165. haha
What info?
HAHAHA my first CLYW!
I actually noticed Chris/CLYW mention that the 2nd run AC will be shipped to 3 stores. I friendād them all on FB and actually hit up a diff store the nanosecond they hit the shelves (about 24 hours before yye).
I took this extra step because to me, the 28s colorway is the most beautiful art Iāve ever seen on a throw. To me it looks like a bright blue cloudy sky with a splash of blood across the sky. It really takes my mind on a trip. I cant wait to play with it. Iām actually a total newbie (I only know the basics like cold fusion, matrix and plastic whip) so I have a LOT of catching up to do with this throw. I really got it from an art-collectors perspective more so than a serious yo-enthusiast.
This is also my first CLYW purchase. Iāve only thrown one CLYW, my friends Canvas which I find really unique and comfortableā¦cant wait to compare this one out.
The lighter run release. I know people are waiting for it, but I donāt know if my date is relevant information anymore considering that weāve already seen a second run on the 28th of this month.
Congrats and welcome. Youll enjoy your new throw! Good luck!
Congrats sir! 28 stories is a most amazing finish. all three colors really fit together well.
its been around 5 hours and Pekkaās are still in stockā¦Either this or a Berzerker. I cant make up my mind!
Pekka, it looks even better on the AC than it did on the Chief
So not to start a CLYW-hating threadā¦ I love my chief and 1st run ACā¦ but Iāve noticed that there are still ACās up for grabsā¦ have we finally found a tipping point in the price barrier? Is the extra $20 keeping people from it? Is this the answer to the question - how much is too much for a CLYW? Or is everyone holding out for something elseā¦ Glacier Express? Or maybe itās just that this release kinda snuck in under the radar?
Probably a little bit of all that. Iād say price is the main factor. Thatās just a lot for a yoyo. Period. CLYW or anyone. And it always adds a little extra sting when thereās an extra cost on top of the base price, regardless of what the final price is.
They also already removed a good chunk of their early adopters who might have paid such a high price now by having had a 1st release just a couple weeks ago. People also know that thereās going to be a lighter version release coming, so that will be even more definite buyers who might have just opted out this time.
Total number probably has something to do with it too. These throws were released on sites other than YYE, and there are a lot of colorways. You might have been talking, whatā¦more than 100 ACās released in total? Maybe closer to 150? Thatās a heck of a lot more total throws than usual. Hard to compare with something like the Skywalker where there werenāt even 20.
Ultimately, for a release thatās not the first run of a new model and is also very expensive, this stuff is flying off the shelves relatively speaking. I wouldnāt consider it āslowā by any means.
Wowā¦ Thereās still TEN and yes I repeat, TEN Pekka ACās left. Wasnāt expecting that.
Yeah Iām surprised the Pekka didnt sell out faster. To me its like the stone-cold-serious version of 28s. Its just straight up Dexter-Blood-Splash without the playful innocent cloudy sky.
I went with playful because I like the contrast of the perfect sky meets blood splatter. At first I was attracted to the Pekka primarily but then I decided it was too serious. Blood splatter meets ice cold metalā¦that makes me think of a hospital after surgeryā¦sterilized or something.
And yeah like the one dude mentionedā¦Chris sold the AC to other sites besides YYE and at least one of those sites (yysr) actually put them on the shelf about 24 hours before YYE did so that could have taken some of the āsniperā buyers who couldnt risk missing out on their favorite color waiting on YYE.
Not to complain or be disloyal about YYE. I love YYEās store, forum and irc channelā¦The only reason I bought elsewhere is because of the timing.
I think the colors hurt this run.
The CRYO sold out fast because it was a cool colorway.
I got a cryo. There were 7 available and they were gone by the time I finished checkin out, 1:18.
Got a gnarwhal. Sold it for a wedgieā¦
