OMG Hnnnggg… Might have to grab some YYFs, this just looks ridiculously amazing! An American Draupnir?! Ah so curious what the price is going to be. Haven’t been this excited about a yoyo in a long time! Post all Space Cowboy info as it’s found in this thread.

It’s either bimetal (highly doubt it since YYJ patents) so it’s probably polished or whatever to make it have silver rims ---

It’s clearly bi metal Stainless steel rims to be exact. Apparently they found a loophole around YYJs patent. ---

> [@Rixtify](#): > > It’s either bimetal (highly doubt it since YYJ patents) so it’s probably polished or whatever to make it have silver rims It’s aluminium with steel rims. It’s probably the best bi metal made by an American company to date (at least in my opinion). Personally I prefer the draupnir, but the Space Cowboy is very impressive and I highly recommend it. Given YYF’s history the price will be very reasonable, considering bi metals are much more expensive to produce. ---

> [@andy569](#): > > Draupnir, $220. Laser, $220. Anglam, $290, Anglam CC, $210. Japanese, Japanese, Japanese, Japanese. Japanese yoyos are very pricy bi-metal or not. SuperFly REMIX, $175. Leviathan, $190. Prominence, $180. Double Joker, $180. Uroborus, $180. You get the idea. That being said, it will probably sell for around the same price the 2014 Genesis did. ---

Bi-metals are cool and all, and can even make the material stronger around the rims, but it makes things MUCH more expensive when you could just distribute the weight throughout the material. The added assembly time of inserting weight rims or weight rings really adds to the price. ---
