If I don’t like it I can probably get back what I paid or pretty close so it’s a better risk than paying 80 + shipping on Japanese sites.

I looked at the other site, and they do have them. Really sure they’ll get a cease and desist from YYJ, but I’ll probably get one, since I can’t figure out how to order off Japanese sites.

I’d like to say something about the Draupnir: it’s absolutely incredible.

I’ve tried my fair share of yoyos, but the Draupnir is on a Whole. Nuva. Levol. It’s one of the few yoyos that far and above surpassed my expectations. I tend to be overly critical of my toys and need them to be perfect (for me) in just about every way or I’ll sell/trade it. The Draupnir hits every single thing on my checklist for a bangin’ yoyo and still has cred left over. It’s one of the lightest-feeling, strongest-spinning, amazingly-engineered pieces of equipment I’ve ever laid my hands on.

It is definitely, definitely the best yoyo I have ever played.

Too many dangling participles here. When I first read that first post I wondered whether the Links was trying to be sarcastic. If he is, then the sarcasm is lost on me.

Perhaps I am naive though. Help me out; what did he mean?

I reread his post and while I saw several grammatical mistakes, I didn’t see any dangling participles. ???

Do you actively try and seek out flaws in others? Does it make you feel better about yourself?

^ Rhetorical questions. Don’t answer.

No, I wasn’t being sarcastic. It’s hard to believe anyone that has played a Draupnir would think I would be, Geezer; you know how good it is! ;D

I do!

I also totally respect the opinion of someone who has even owned as many yo-yo’s as Links has traded. I did not want to make any assumptions or put words in his mouth. I re-read the first post and found I agreed with the points being made. Therefore I assumed no sarcasm. I was afraid that may have been a bit arrogant, however, since sarcasm is the most difficult of the literary forms. 🙂

I am amazed that it took Links so long to get one since he seems to get pretty much everything from what I can gather. I think its scarcity and performance tends to keep it where it lands.

Well thank you very much. But ‘so long’?? I got my black one back in the beginning of July and I owned a red one a few weeks before that! ;D

We were just talking about posts mysteriously disappearing. There went another one of mine, lol. You don’t have to do much to step on the toes of the mods here. I don’t anyway.

basepi I was wondering the same thing, as that yo-yo definitely violates YYJ patents (maybe “he” got permission from YYJ since they used to be tight) but if I were you I’d buy one from “him” ASAP as with the coupon code you can get the triad for under $75 shipped.

Do they have a patent on that? I don’t think it necessarily does anyhow, but there’s also a difference between marketing something as an innovation and actually having it patented.

New Diffusion or old Diffusion? If it is the old model - well, that was probably the only really bad yo-yo to come from YYR. If you are talking about the New Diffusion; I must disagree. But that is my opinion only.
