I am a little cash poor these days, and am leading an investment group in buying a non-yoyo related business, so the later the better for me right now. ---

Cool to see another finish new (as far as I’m aware) to yoyoing used. I don’t mind raw stainless steel, but not a fan of raw aluminium so would still love to see some annoed versions. Hopefully the price doesn’t get up to $240 for annoed and tempered versions. That takes it a fair bit beyond the reasonable $200 price point. Also just noticed from the pics on the YYR website that the Draupnir actually has quite a high wall for a YYR. Weird to see that change in design, especially when much of the industry has seemingly followed YYRs past example of minimising the wall as much as possible. ---

Looks like the tempered rims add about $20 or so to the price which more or less puts it in line with YYR’s usual pricing scheme for fancier-than-run-of-the-mill colourways. Yuki ---

> [@AzrinRain](#): > > For those of you who are waiting for the colored body models, apparently Kengo is running into production issues and delivery is pushed back to mid October. > ☹ I agree that YYR should do it right. But we are talking about YYR …right? This is a company that has produced large quantities of high quality throws before and should have these things worked out previously. Yes there are always hiccups in production; but the slow production should, at least, make up for fit/finish issues. That YYR is having any problems is a bit disturbing to me. I sure hope that this is not some sort of achilles-heel to this design. The Draupnir is such an awesome, insanely-fabulous throw. Lets hope that the production proceeds smoothly soon. … Dazzler? …Dazzler? …_sigh_ ---

I’ve just got some news from my “middle-woman”. It appears that only a very, very limited run of the Dazzler would be made, retailing for about $650. And apparently, only for sale in Japan. For those of you who wanted to know what the specs are: Weight - 63g Diameter - 54mm Width - 41mm @YoyoGeezer, i was referring to the Draupnir’s body. Colored versions of that aren’t available yet. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/c/e/cce738695312bac25ba5eb6fd4d4d682aed1e569.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/8/9/a894e78e26c7ac79ab6cdb2f1666535a80feea75.jpeg) ---

Colored versions of that aren’t available yet. Will the Dazzlers be for sale at the manufacturers site? Hoping to get one. Also, does anyone know if there are definitely colored Draupnirs coming?

Well $500 is not unprecedented. Oxygene have released a few Tis around that price range and they’re not as popular a brand as YYR. But $650 takes it to a whole new level. Even then, if YYR are only sticking to a very small run they’ll probably still sell out.
