Aww stop it you’re making me blush. 
I’m loving it, the size and feel is perfect with all the things I like in a slightly undersized organic throw. Definitely a must have for me. Good enough, I’m going to buy 2-3. Going to be hard to send the raw off to get anodized.

Project Y: Significant Update & Release Info
Specs 53 x 42 mm 63.5g 4.36mm gap
My Tracking shows Project Y arriving to me on this Thursday. That said, I will no longer be taking reservations beyond Wednesday until I can get the current reservations out the door… which is A LOT… so, thank you all for that man 
I’ll be hitting you all up who reserved individually first for addresses and payment, that way I can get these out the door organized and accurately… I’ll do a formal ‘drop’ after the first wave during that following week.
Anyone who is still reserving, we still have available the:
- “Secret Squirrel” Solid Black,
- “What’s Wrong With Purple” Solid Purple,
- “CatSnacks” Blue/Purple Acid Wash,
- and we’ll put together “Lio’d Half-swaps” of the Solid Black & Purple as an homage to ILYY… and a nod to @d4nnyb0yy the master of half-swaps
Note: We apologize, at this time all Engraved versions have been reserved.
I know some of these pictures are repeats, updated pics when I get them…
THANK YOU ALL!!! HMU WITH QUESTIONS!!!

Alright y’all - I appreciate you cats’ patience on the Project Y release. I’ll try to get some fancy style pics set up, but I’m doing the best I can for now…
Anyone that’s has set reservations (and that will also be testing the PV44 prototype), I’ll be hitting you up in the next 24 hours (see: tomorrow morning-ish or so). We had about 70 (69 teeheehee, nerds) reservations, and I want to get them all out tomorrow so I can figure out how to do a drop for anyone interested. I’m testing and inspecting before I pack each one up, and I’m halfway through the reservations… (engraved ones I haven’t got to yet)
Ask some questions for answers… thank you to everyone that has helped on this, apologies if the updates are obnoxious,

So… so end of day updates:
-
approximately 80 pieces have been re-rested & re-inspected These 80 pieces have bee wrapped and boxed (with the custom box, MFD vines string, custom tile, spec sheet & foam cube
-
approximately 50 yoyos have been shipped, or about 32 orders fullfilled. this includes multi-orders, PV44 proto testers, etc.
-
approximately 30 yoyo orders remain to be filled
-
approximately 40 yoyos remain to be reinspected and retested.
NOTE: there’s a bit of crossover, as all CatSnacks, are inspected, but not sold out (yet). So I just have to get caught up on some solids… BUT, CatSnacks is now selling faster than black… anywho… THANK YOU ALL here’s some pics
of today’s disaster

Got mine in the mail today. My first impression is that it’s super stable for a 53mm high walled organic. It has a solid feeling on the string. The wall is nice it regens and stalls pretty well.
