Was finally able to put 200 wing wangs down for one. Ben and the gang really go all out with the extras when they do these things. ---

Yeah I’m super excited. Really want that Skyline bonus. Sad I missed the Ti Wangle before payday. ---

B-grades added! Cheaper than a Wanker! Barely more expensive than a Ti-Vayder! Might even see a few more Titanium Wide Angles pop up here soon! Go see the Facebook group for Ben’s update! Yelling is fun! ---

Ti-Vayder b-grades were $70. Just sayin’ 😏 (hubstacks ain’t cheap though, hubstacks alone probably add $30 to the price of a yo-yo, so easily $10 in manufacturing, maybe more!) ---

150 for a b grade is kinda disapointing. You could get a nice bi metal or an A grade ti vayder for LESS. 150 to drop on a b grade that isnt just a cosmetic defect but actual vibe is a real sad offer imo Idk i just think the idea of charging over 100 bucks for something that ur openly admitting isnt ur companies best work is kinda just a bad deal ---

Agreed. There mono metal b-grades are usually massively discounted, I was expecting the same for this to be honest. ---

YYF, from my experience usually discounts 50% on B grades for new yoyos. MSRP on the ti888 is $300, so $150 on it is par. The reason companies even sell B grades is to recoup their costs for manufacturing. The profit made on all the A grades starts to get eaten up once you figure in B grades, so the sale of B grades evens it out. It’s a business after all profits have to be made. The TiVayder thing can not be compared here, but I’m going to keep my mouth shut on everything I want to say about that… ---

> [@Dino\_Trucks](#): > > You could get a nice bi metal or an A grade ti vayder for LESS. Using the TiWalker as any kind of benchmark for yoyo pricing isn’t realistic. Unless a yo-yo company decides to tie up their own money and sell yoyos at cost that is… ---

Why pay more than $20 for any yoyo? Its not a great deal when the full price is already a great deal… but isnt it a great world we live in where people have the option! ---

Thanks to an order from @AndreBoulay the goal for a new Skyline was reached! All eligible backers will get a new model Skyline. @yyfben2.deactivated has hinted that it’ll have some 888 themed graphics or branding. I’m really excited about this! ---
