How will future BST purchasers know which is which? How do I tell the Black Draupnir’s apart? Get out a ruler?

OG Black Draupnir → Black Draupnir
wider Black Draupnir-> Bob

Easy :slight_smile:

I suppose we could call it the Re-Tuned Draupnir.

Yuki

Watch us be at yoyo meets and contests and asking, ā€œHey! Can I try that Bob?ā€

No matter what it’s called, at a meeting you’d still call it a Draupnir

Yea, and I doubt any of us would be able to tell a black Draupnir from a Bob from a quick look anyways

When I come to France I’m gonna tell you about my black Attuned Draupnir.

What’s that? I don’t know of any Black Attuned Draupnir, I’m afraid you got scammed my friend :confused:

You guys are really grasping at straws here…it’s a black Draupnir identical to the gold Draupnir in every respect except its coating.

And Naoki, how do you know it won’t say ā€œAttuned Draupnirā€ on it anyway? They probably didn’t update the image since it was such a limited release.

I’ll post pics when I get mine to see if it actually says Attuned, though I don’t see why it matters. May be a while though. I wonder if they shipped mine…I bought it right when it was released but then today they say they’re delaying shipments until July 13, because of AP2014, even though that only runs through July 6. Why do they need another week? Anyway, if that statement applies to purchases made before that notice was put up that’s pretty lame, and just unprofessional. You don’t sell product for $240 and then sit on it for two weeks.

I haven’t been sent a tracking number so I’m guessing they’re delaying.

They sent me an email at 3am EST telling me it’s shipped and it has the EMS tracking in it.

@Shai

That statement is super vague. It could be an attempt to say ā€œMattBlack model that released on 30/06/2014 also has wider gap as [an] Attuned Draupnir.ā€ It’s very common for Japanese to omit article adjectives, which they did here ([The] MattBlack model…) at least once, and the English on YYR is somewhat halting and stiff. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but there’s not enough evidence to conclude one way or the other whether it says ā€œAttuned Draupnirā€ or ā€œDraupnirā€ on the yo-yo. The image is clearly the same image they used before. That leads me to believe you’re probably right but they may have just recycled the image rather than taking new ones.

In any case it’s still an attuned Draupnir irrespective of whether ā€œattunedā€ is used to mean literally ā€œattunedā€ or as a backronym for ā€œAkitoshi Tokubuchi Tuned.ā€ It’s the same model in a different color.
