The yo-yo is heavily competition focused following recent trend of wider shapes making it easy to catch on the string, while being fast and maneuverable with a good amount of rim weight. This yo-yo will make you ready for a big battle. First run is limited to 99 pieces with 33 of each color Blood Red, Sky Blue and Sand. # Releasing Saturday 10/26 @ 8PM EDT. > **[YoYoExpert - Yo-Yo Store - Buy & Shop Modern Yo-Yos!](https://yoyoexpert.com/)** > > At YoYoExpert we deliver the best yoyo shopping experience and an amazing selection you can't find anywhere else.

I’m still picking my jaw off the floor from the price…in a good way. $68 for 7075 seems like a legit good price (I remember when 7075 had a premium price tag). I’ve not met Palli, but, he seems a good guy, I wish his company the very best. ---

Anyone grab one of these? Despite my less than positive comments earlier in the thread I definitely like the specs and shape and it’d be cool for someone on here to give feedback when they get theirs. ---

I’m tempted to snag one. I think I prefer 7075 to 7068, and the stats and shape are attractive. But I’ve also got my sights on the Meerkat, Diffraction, Ouroboros, and possibly the Dominator so idk when/if I’ll snag one. ---

Actually, for yoyos the current price of 7068 and 7075 are about the same. When I designed the Ragnarok I actually hadn’t been too impressed by the supposedly stronger 7068 with every single one of my 7068 throws having vibe after small hits/dings. This made me want to go with 7075 since to me it felt like a safer choice and it’s a bit easier to work with… But after trying some prototyping with 7068 I think it’s a really good material and honestly think people are just making their 7068 yoyo walls 0.1-0.2mm too thin, it isn’t going to make a difference worth their yoyos being fragile. I might change the Ragnarok to a 7068 for later runs if demand is high enough. About costs, I do have higher costs overall from being based in Iceland(shipping and higher import taxes) and as a tiny company can’t afford to produce as many yoyos at once as the bigger companies(the bigger run you make the cheaper it gets). I’m also using a slightly more expensive machine shop than some of the makers of the yoyo’s you mentioned. $68 was literally the lowest I could go on those without losing money and I think it’s super reasonable for such a good high quality throw. Hope that clears some things -Palli ---

My response was just replying to someone who said they hadn’t seen any 70s of any kind at that price point. I’m definitely a Palli fan: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/b/5/6b5de07cfb4b016c7ff7425f699bf8357b5890dc.jpeg) One of the few older yo-yos I’ve kept. ---

No problem! Just felt like I had to put some input about the prices. That yoyo is a treasure! One of the most unique and rarest CLYW throws, I only have one now and it’s super beat from daily abuse! Also my first ever signature edition! ---

Well yeah, I did end up making 3 Puffin yoyos with Clyw plus that super limited puffin edition gnarwhal. It’s a part of my identity.
