Odds are I’m gonna give my mom the money, then she’ll buy it for me. I’ll try and get her to move as fast as possible. 
Logistically then, I would work out some way to have payment info saved and ready to go lol, time is of the essence!

They’re apparently painting some.

Now this begs the question, do they have a solution for the chipping this time around?

Probably not, any form of coating that goes over the yoyo like paint, cerakote, or powder coating will chip when damaged. Anodizing is a process where the color is in the surface of the material instead of coating over it.

I believe it is “do not hit it against anything hard”

Has anyone actually tried the new P3AK? is it similar in any way to the new Campfire?
I don’t think it’s a thing yet.

Yeah, I just heard the design isn’t even finished yet.

Yeah, I feel a little bad for them, I’ll make it up to them by buying a P3AK though. lol
I did get a bit of word from Steve, so here ya go: (I’m paraphrasing my questions, but not the answers)
“Will the P3AK be available in classic colorways?”
“Oh, the P3ak will absolutely be available in all the classic colorways. And I’ll probably make the BBB edition a Discord exclusive drop. 
”
“Is there a release date in mind?”
“Chris hasn’t even finished the design. If it’s done in time for Xmas 2025 I’ll be very happy. If it’s done any sooner than that I’ll be over the moon.”
“How much will it cost?”
“Sort of impossible to guess that far out, especially with new tariffs on Chinese-made goods about to roll out. I have no idea how that’s going to affect our pricing. My hope is always to keep our pricing steady and as low as we can comfortably get away with. As we add more non-yoyo items to the product line this year I’m hoping that we can find our growth there and it will allow us a greater buffer to keep yoyo prices from increasing.”
Thanks for your time, Steve!

I was thinking about the tariffs affecting this, everything’s gonna go up by around 25% I’m assuming, so this one won’t be cheap. I’m really hoping I’m in a position to set aside some cash for it, but I need to make sure my priority needs are met first and I am just hoping this thing is under $200 by the time it comes out… it’s hard to keep up let alone predict anything anymore.
Still got my reserve note hidden in my YoYo bag tho so, it’s a start.
Also, yes. I’m hyp3

Yeah, I think Caribou Lodge’s stuff averages around $90 (just guessing here) so I’m hoping the P3AK won’t be much more than $112.50, but we’ll see.
Either way, I am HYP3D! (We’re coining HYP3 right now)

Already re-edited the title for you lol.
My BBBB listed out at like $125, so I’m assuming an unfortunately large percentage higher than that for a sick colorway.
