Yeah. He told me earlier. He also said he wasn’t allowed to keep it because of some silly bet… I guess we’ll see one pop up on the BST early next week.

I grabbed one as well, and I’m hoping that the increase in the gap size justifies the cost.

I’m sure I will love it either way, but I would really like to see what the gap increase does to the play.

I’m thankful that I’ll have one of each to test the difference.

I’ll have one of each as well. That’s why I’m really hoping that there is a discernible difference between the two, or I’ll just end up with two of the same YoYo. Not that it would be all that bad having two Black Draupnirs.

He posted earlier today. He’s the reason I knew about the new release to begin with.  
I owe him a bit of Thanks for that one.

AFAIK I was the first one who bought a Bob on this forum and I still don’t have a damn tracking number. I think YYR processed them in random order or some nonsense and then decided to postpone mine until July 13.

And yeah there are six left that I can locate. If anyone can’t figure out where just PM me. I thought I made it pretty obvious earlier though.

I’m not sure I’ve read anything as far as a review goes from people who have played both the gold Attuned Draupnir and one of the regular gap Draupnirs so looking forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts on the new black blasted one with the wider gap once they start getting into your guys’ hands. Makes me a little sad to think that I may only own the almost best yoyo ever now instead of the best yoyo ever but I will take some solace in knowing that I still own the classiest yoyo ever still since the new logo obviously leaves the new one as the almost classiest yoyo ever =P

Wooo! Massive thanks for Shai and Sparkhawk for PM-ing me the location of some in-stock bobs. Managed to pick one up this morning. ;D

This is a great day. Not only do I finally have a beautiful black Draupnir, but I have one with a wider gap! My knuckles are saved!

Seriously, if anyone is thinking of pulling the trigger on a Draupnir but isn’t sure, I cant recommend it enough. I spent a few hours playing with various high end throws yesterday, but then when I picked up my Draupnir… it’s just on another level. It really is THAT good.

You can’t decide what is better because of gap size. What is better, tighter binds, more spin time and better mid-air binds with tight gap or room for more strings with wider gap? This really depend just on players style.

At Japan nationals, how many people used gold Draupnir with wider gap and how many standard version?

So just because new version of Draupnir might fit better to some players, doesnt mean it’s better version.
