If this ends up selling at its original price, I would definitely cop that! ---

I don’t plan on dropping $150+ on one, but this is really cool for those who have been chasing a Sleipnir. ---

If it is not made of 7075; it is not a Sleipnir. I wish they would do another run of the OG Draupnir too. There are so many people looking for them that I would think it would be an insta-sellout. ---

…But still no YYR on Rewind? If they have patched things up, why is Kengo not selling on Shinya’s store? It seems like Rewind is still the only retailer that does not get YYR. ---

Well, if they did patch things up, then it’s probably just a simple matter of the format financial ramifications Shinya’s Site gets most of their yo-yos wholesale and sells them retail. Their primary market is probably in Japan, even though they ship all over the place so they are making the markup from wholesale to retail. Kengo knows His brother store has a great variety of yo-yos. By the same token, he knows that Shinya is not gonna suffer if he doesn’t have any of his brother’s yo-yos to sell. Kengo Sells direct from the manufacturer at retail. He has established a market overtime somewhat like Jake at G2. G2 has a certain following that’s fairly constant. Kengo Has established a direct purchase following, which is probably also primarily Japan based. If Kengo is comfortable with the number of yo-yos he sells directly at retail, he would only be losing money by marking down the yo-yos before he sent them to his brother. I certainly don’t think it has anything to do with their relationship. I think it has more to do with just logical business sense. I like you you like me… We’re brothers you sell your stuff I’ll sell my stuff… Let’s go to lunch. ---
