Yes, it was a perk. You get to have a video chat with Ben or something and decide what you want for $100 or more guaranteed that you will get something worth more than that.
I’m not quite sure if I’m allowed to post pictures or do a review for the throw… It is unreleased. I will talk to Ben about it. I’ll see.
Wait, did he already ship them out to you?
I believe the $100 was the minimum spending amount. I can imagine his haul cost him a fair bit more, but no doubt he still got some great deals.
Galaxy Edition of the new YYF x TP sounds amazing though. Looking forward to that one hitting the shelves. ;D
Can’t talk about it. SHHHHHH. Until later… ;D ;D ;D
I got the email requesting my color preference for the first 50. I just submitted all my color preferences at the same time, so they don’t have to wait for future emails from me.
- Blue, with red AL Dream.
- Raw Brushed, with gold AL Dream.
- Raw Brushed, with gold AL Dream.
What are you guys choosing?
I picked raw brushed Ti and red aluminum. Can’t wait!
raw brushed titanium, gold aluminium.
June is too far away!
Blue and Red. If you don’t like the color when you recieve I bet there will be some trade options.
Well guys, I know the full tally isn’t in yet. But, so far, it looks like that raw brushed is going to be in higher demand than the blue. What do you think? I’m anxious to see what color ends up being the most in demand. I surprised myself wanting the raw brushed even more. The blue is beautiful, but the raw brushed has that traditional “ti look.”
Don’t care and don’t care.
Will take either!
I wish I could be that care free about color. It’s like a really special feature for me. I bet there will be a few other people who reply to YYF with “surprise me.” I’m definitely not one of them. ;D
Actually, I did that one time with a yo-yo purchase. It was nice to do it that time though. A surprise can be fun, with the right throw.
I am beyond confident that the raw brushed will be the one in demand. I predict a great many of the second batch of 50 people will ask if they can eschew getting a number in favour of getting the raw brushed. Not sure if that’s an option for them, but they’ll ask.
Blue Ti and red Al for me. I’m assuming the blue ones will spark also.
Just like GregP, I picked raw brushed and gold for me. The polished blue is pretty, but when I think Ti, I think raw. This is going to make for a great summer when these arrive.
I’m trying to match my blue Ricochet with my blue Dream. If they had the same number, that would be cool. ;D So, I had to choose blue for the first color, so it has a chance of happening. I think I was purchaser #3 (not including prototypes). So, I should be good to get blue for the first one.
I was somewhere around purchaser #63 too, so I think I still have a decent shot at a brushed silver. It’s hard to see where I am if people bought $200 or more worth of perks. All this color thinking gives me something to do until June. It can’t come soon enough.
Well I think don’t care wasn’t the right way of putting it. I’ll be equally happy with either color for both and I’ll probably just get the other color down the line possibly.
I’m like around the #70-80 purchaser. I got on board with the campaign on the 2nd chance to purchase a Dream Ti. Will I still be able to choose my own color options in both the Dream Ti & Al? Any color is fine on both, I’m just glad that I was able to Help. My preferences are a Raw Brushed Ti and either a gold or red Al Dream. The hype is strong :o
I got the email, and replied blue… but I guess I didn’t read it carefully because I didn’t realize we were supposed to indicate a color choice for the Al version too. I think I was #57, so it appears that my blue / red choices won’t be an issue : )
As of now, we have sent out an email to every single backer asking for color preferences and to verify the shipping address on file.
I got an email that said this. But I never actually received an email asking me about color or address confirmation. I was in the first 100 throws but probably somewhere in the 70’s. Can anyone else in the second 50 let me know if they got an email.
I know the 2nd batch of 50 didn’t get a color choice, just found the email odd since they said they contacted everyone.
