I offered for a Draupnir like 5 times. Didn’t work out even though I offered more each time.
Offered for Laser once. I got it, no negotiation 
I don’t have the money to buy a Draupnir, and people only want to sell theirs
Speaking of, I do have a mint with box Raw First run Draupnir for Sale or possibly trade 
Now you tell me
I love this thread.

And now I’m waiting for new run of Draupnirs 
Should I buy a yyr six ? The only yyr i own is a mr.butcher. dont really the feel of it 
Anyone wanna trade their matte black for a temper rim? ;D
Just took another look at the matte black and realized how good it looks
Edit:
I noticed how everyone is talking about the attuned/wider gap draup to be “better” than the 1st run
How much better? Is it minor like A reg anglam vs cc anglam difference?(small)
Do you like wider gaps?
There isn’t much difference in play with the wider gap.
This. I own both, and honestly in a blind test I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between them.
I could definitely tell them apart in a blind test just by doing lacerations over and over. 1st gens will bind more frequently.
Most of the time I wouldn’t be able to tell a difference but I slightly prefer 2nd gens.
Does anyone here have thrown the yyr six ? Any thoughts on it ?
I didn’t like the Six at all. Its small, extremely wide and just an odd yoyo.

Good
Now I don’t feel bad I didn’t save for a wide gap
Is this with a rgular width string or like a kitty fat
I haven’t really noticed a difference in binds either. I use pretty thick string (YYSL Ammo) so perhaps that’s why.
At any rate, binds aside, it seemed like Raigo was wondering whether there was any difference in actual feel/play between the two, which there isnt. They both play identically, one is just ever-so-slightly grabbier than the other.
I guess usin the anglams was a bad example xD
Shouldn’t using thicker string like ammo make the 1st run drauonir more prone to accidental binds?
I used regular 100%poly YYR strings, which are pretty thick, on my first run Draupnirs, I’ve never experienced an accidental bind.
Nothing to do with the gap or the thickness of the strings, just the player.
Did anyone see that Dazzler on FB BST group? He said he got a $900 value trade offer for it hahah, someone will be mad if they ever make anoed Dazzlers…
This is what he said he was offered… gen yo magnum 1 of 1 phaser draupnir Pulsefire SS pulsefire and prominence
Dude. I’d take that deal in a heartbeat.
Quite often I help guys in local yo-yo shop and it’s always good opportunity to throw with Laser, Draupnir and Palpitation(and few others), here are my opinions after some time.
For some reason, I enjoy Laser less and less each time I throw it. First time I used it(back at EYYC 2014), I found out it’s not best player for 1A(just too narrow for me), but really liked feel. Lately it started to feel boring and mediocre. Yes, it still offer great stability and spin time, but I just don’t want to play with it anymore and reach for different yo-yos instead.
Draupnir is for me still definitely one of best 1A yoyos for contest, but I just slightly prefer cheaper and easier available C3 Krown. That’s for me #1 1A yoyo.
Palpitation is probably best TP yoyo, for me better than Isotope 2. But like other TPs, it’s IMHO nothing interesting to play. I think it’s not as good as Draupnir and Krown and definitely not as exciting to play.
New Shake is based slightly on Houska design and also manufactured in China. Nothing really special, not as good as other TP yo-yos. Even for 80$ I prefer other similiary priced yo-yos.
Speaking about 80$, shop got few Triads from Kengo after WYYC. I dont realy see it as plastic Draupnir, it’s definitely good hybrid, maybe even best(still thinking I might like Rally little bit more), but it end there. I think you can get better playing metal in same price.
Take these as my own impression and as always, YMMV.
