IMO i would just do a few tester laserings and sell the others more uniformly
as a new company you want as many people to test your product as possible. adding on bells and whistles for the initial run raises the cost, and in todays yoyo market, EVERY dollar less than another product brings your consumer that much closer to selecting yours
save your SEs and other stuff for your fans once youve wow’d them with a solid product
in the end its up to you. im only saying what i did with the Sky Walkers and VsNYYC. the proof is in the pudding. 🙂

Update time.
So all of the prototypes have returned from anodization. Expect pictures in the next 2 days.
The first run has been manufactured and is currently being shipped to Gruntbull for anodization.
I originally planned on having them be released at Nationals, but i have recently found myself doubting that I can sell them all there at the price that i need to so im not in debt. I cant sell them at webstores like this one yet because they have wholesale prices and all, which cause me to lose most of my profit. So if you are really interested in buying one, PM me and I will sell you one.
I don’t feel like announcing the colorways until I have them. So expect that next week.
What I do have for you is the new and improved logo. Thanks Carson Fritz for designing it, It looks great!
Thats all for today,
Ryan

Is is probably too late, but I thought it would be cool if you did red with black speckle and call it Ladybug, or have a red with black speckle and an orange splash so you could call it Barfing Ladybug or something. Just thought it would be cool.

Hello everyone,
sorry for keeping you waiting if you cared, although i doubt that anyone does care.
These are the first run colorways. They are exclusive. Each color from this run is only 1 of 9, and comes with a limited edition box. The things are beautiful.
Sorry for the lack of quality in the pictures. Cameras arent my priority right now.
Check out [rayoyos.com](http://rayoyos.com)! Its pretty great. These will be for sale on there very soon.
-Ryan
P.S. IF YOU WANT TO BUY ONE AND YOU ARE GOING TO NATIONALS, PM ME THE COLOR YOU WANT AND I WILL BRING IT. THEY WILL BE $100 AT NATS, WHICH IS CHEAPER THAN THE REGULAR PRICE.
