In need of new pads for a 2009 Sleipnir I’ll be getting soon. For the IR pad size, is it 0.4mm thin pads? ---

It’s just something they do. If you don’t want raw, just wait a few weeks. ---

Why am I punished for my brand-loyalty by having lots of the same color? This really is not a big deal to me; I wonder if it is for YYR? I mean; is it something they HAVE to do? ---

I wonder if the first batch that goes out on sale is raw just to skip the ano step and get them out there as soon as possible while the rest are being anodised. Raw throws fits in perfectly with YYR’s performance first mentality and getting a few out there earlier gives people time to rave about them before the anodised ones come out. Yuki ---

Are YYR yoyos really worth the price tag though? Most expensive yoyo I own is the Arctic Circle which is real nice but I don’t think I’d spend 150+ on a single yoyo. ---

Looks like I’m getting a YYR then. Hopefully I can get one for a bit cheaper on the BST, and I might even be getting an e=mc2. What do you guys recommend for someone’s first YYR? I really like the Stargazer and the Messiah. ---

No, they don’t HAVE to do anything, but I guess they want to and it has a sense of routine. ---

What do you guys recommend for someone’s first YYR? I really like the Stargazer and the Messiah. I would definitely recommend a Sleipner, Gleipner, or Draupnir for your first YYR.
