New Japanese Bi-Metal

Nope

More than that, it means there will not be more than 50 each color ever. First run has 50 black, it means black will not be made again even if is requested.

I was talking to NathanC.

Please send me an invoice right away! Meanwhile, Iā€™ll send an email to YYE.

Reserve if possible T_T

Also, where will we buy it once its released?

Will YYE be getting some?

Only 20 of them is available for presale. Iā€™m hoping Iā€™ll get an invoice soon. There are less than 20 right now because I guess itā€™s already available.

YYE will get it.
Presales are available for limited quantity now, check the facebook page and send a PM if you want one

No more available for prerelease
The release date will be delayed to May 15th
Nobunaga will be available in YoyoExpert, in order to have enough supply weĀ“ll have to delay a little bit the release date.

Note: People that bought pre release will still have it before May 8th

Canā€™t wait to try these!

Got mine today. Really enjoying it. Incredibly fast. Definitely the longest spinning, most powerful yoyo in that mid-size that iā€™ve ever played. Had to replace the DS bearing right away because it was loud and causing lots of vibe, but i never thought much of the DS bearing anyway so not a huge deal. Also itā€™s heavier than i was expecting. ~65g. Was hoping it would be 62g-63g, but for most people the weight will be perfect. I just personally think 59g-63g is the ideal yoyo weight. Overall definitely happy with it and i encourage people to grab one as thereā€™s nothing quite like it in that size and design. Also it should be noted that the purple is absolutely gorgeous, even more vibrant in person than the pictures.

so another yoyo weighed without a bearing on?
derp

nope, this is witrh the bearing, nopads, it is impossible to go to 65g, unless you weight it with the string on

That red is insane!!!

Canā€™t wait to get my purple one in for review. Looks like fun. One thing I canā€™t make out from the photos, does it have an IGR?

Here with bearing, pads and even long string.

I received my Nobunaga today and couldnā€™t be happier!

It is popularly compared to the extremely praised Draupnir, and for a good reason too! Although it is smaller, it still equals or exceeds the spin time and stability of all the bimetals I have played (Draupnir, Palpitation, Isotope 2, Space Cowboy, and more). The feel it has in the hand is welcoming, mostly because of the midsize specs. Some yo-yos have a very light feel on the string, moving very fast and zippy, yet usually lack stability and spin. On the other hand, some feel like they will never tip over or run out of spin, yet are typically very slow and heavy. The utilization of the stainless steel ring on the Nobunaga really creates are perfect throw, fast and light while keeping insane spin. Something that surprised me was how well the flat hub proved to be for fingerspins. This stood out to me because it is something most performance yo-yos are not able to achieve. The one minor issue that I encountered with it straight out of the box is the IR pads. They are quite grippy, causing minor problems when multiple string layers were introduced. I have no doubt this problem will pass with time as the pads begin to break in. The binds are quite snappy and responsive, which is pleasant though.

The most amazing aspect is that it can compete with any of the top end throws, yet costs considerably less (~$170 USD).

Overall, the Nobunaga is one of my favorite throws to date. Do not pass on an opportunity to pick one up. I have high hopes for Sengoku and canā€™t wait to see what they produce down the line!

So I just got my Nobunaga. So far its amazing. Itā€™s my smallest throw so getting used to that will take a minute but itā€™s great. Dead smooth and amazing spin power. The purple is beautiful. Already beating my expectations. Also wanted to confirm the weight. My scale says 63.5 grams with everything but a string.

Also wanted to thank NeoHamster for all of his work on this. Great communication, fast shipping and a great yoyo!

IĀ“m glad you liked it! Thank you (and everyone that is supporting this company buying one).
Playing with fraction of a gram is quite tricky, but the important thing about weight variation is, 1-is light (under 64) 2- Is smooth.

IĀ“m very pleased to get only positive reviews, thank you all, and lets wait until the official release so more people will have access to the mighty Nobunaga! :slight_smile:
