It seems like they did post up a event for today. It seems that they are selling new prototypes, New versions of older models, and few older models. Pretty cool, I’ll just wait until the real things come out because I’m fine with what I have at the moment. Also if anyone buys a extra space prototype then just let my know. Here is the link so you can have a quick jump after reading this post. [http://yoyorecreation.jp/yoyo-day.html](http://yoyorecreation.jp/yoyo-day.html) ---

I’m sure the deals are good if i knew what i was getting. I just can’t figure out quite what the choices are given the lack of pictures. New protos would easily be worth the money given that sometimes they don’t make it to production and are extremely rare, but yeah not gonna bite on any at the moment i don’t think. ---

I agree, without pictures you are just guessing. Without better info, it is hard to justify the risk vs. just waiting for the “real thing” when it releases. … New Sleipnir? Oh my 🙂 ---

Was thinking of pulling the trigger on the new Sleipnir prototype, but they’re all sold out. Shame. I agree with what’s been said, I really wish they had pictures… any pictures. 14,000Y on a lucky box containing 3 yyr? That’s one thing, but spending that on a prototype you know nothing about is a different matter. ---

Just exactly how much of Sleipnir protos did they have on sale? I second the sentiment here: the lack of photos makes it extremely hard to decide. ---

Are there any other yoyos made of 2017 aluminum? Never heard of anything but 6061 and 7075. I’m sure everything listed there is a great deal and both the undersized, the Sleipnir 2017 and prototype new model sound interesting but I’m not spending $80-135 on something that I know effectively nothing about. ---

From what I’ve heard, the 2017 Sleipnir is made out of a mix of Titanium, Aluminum, and Zinc. Very interesting… Also, I probably won’t be able to make it to the General-Yo meet, sorry 😕 ---

> [@YoYoJordan](#): > > From what I’ve heard, the 2017 Sleipnir is made out of a mix of Titanium, Aluminum, and Zinc. Very interesting… There’s a very tiny amount of zinc in 2017 aluminum. The main alloying component in 2017 aluminum is 3-4% copper (main alloying component in 7075 is 6% zinc). Why am i concerned? 2017 aluminum, while easier to machine with, is a whole lot more expensive than 7075. That might mean that the finished product could be 30,000JPY and above. Quite a sum to pay, unless YYR makes this Sleipnir much thinner than before. But, by all means, please post up some really good photos once you get your hands on it.
