I want that Acrophobia!

Dat blue draupnir!!! <3

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, Iā€™ll just wait until the real things come out because Iā€™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.

i dont think the deals are that good this year

I second that notion.
They still try their best.

Iā€™m sure the deals are good if i knew what i was getting. I just canā€™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 donā€™t make it to production and are extremely rare, but yeah not gonna bite on any at the moment i donā€™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 ā€œreal thingā€ when it releases.

ā€¦ New Sleipnir? Oh my :slight_smile:

Yup, thatā€™s what I said.

theyre mostly protos

Was thinking of pulling the trigger on the new Sleipnir prototype, but theyā€™re all sold out. Shame.

I agree with whatā€™s been said, I really wish they had picturesā€¦ any pictures.

14,000Y on a lucky box containing 3 yyr? Thatā€™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.

Iā€™m sure everything listed there is a great deal and both the undersized, the Sleipnir 2017 and prototype new model sound interesting but Iā€™m not spending $80-135 on something that I know effectively nothing about.

for more details and comparisons on these types of aluminum (itā€™s in italian)

where did you guys get the info that these yoyos are new designs?

Itā€™s on the YYR website. It gives a description of them.

it says nowhere theres are new designs

I picked up a 2017 Sleipnir!

ah i see where you guys are getting the info now. on the japanese version all it says is that there is a weight distribution change for the models, not new version. the specs are the same otherwise

Pleeeeese bring it to the gen-yo meet!

From what Iā€™ve heard, the 2017 Sleipnir is made out of a mix of Titanium, Aluminum, and Zinc. Very interestingā€¦ Also, I probably wonā€™t be able to make it to the General-Yo meet, sorry :confused:
