Is the gunmetal gray a v2 Blink? I have a gold v1 and it used to play so well…until I stripped it about a week ago 
im not aware of there being more than one variation of the blink? i could certainly be mistaken though. this one plays lighter than i remember my last one playing but i imagine that is just my memory playing tricks on me.
about a week agooo
never heard of a v2 blink either
From what I know, gunmetal Blink was sold only as B-grade. It was available at EYYC and maybe at their last sale.
I confirm, sold only as a b-grade and without laser engraving at events and on the recreation’s store.

Today I heard a third person say he prefer the triad to the draupnir.
So now the score is 3 to 500,000.

THAS RAYSIST!
derpnir is in stock again
Why does YYE list the Triad at 64.9g but other places have it at 66?
For the record I have now had my red EMS capped Attack Schneider or whatever it is called for a few days. This is supposed to be the version with more vibe. My early opinions are as follows:
- It does have a small amount of vibe, but much less than some throws, and much less than one of my original Schneiders
- Despite the odd plastic bits, it is one of the best put-together throws I’ve seen. The ano is utterly flawless, and is a beautiful vibrant color. The finish is not as ‘sticky’ as the SY-002 and grinds really pretty well
- The brass inlay is perfect. Not just quite good. Immaculate.
- The plastic components actually feel fine. They’re solid, don’t wobble, and aren’t likely to fall out.
- The shape is funky, it feels in the hand the way I would imagine the Lesula does
- I think it’s superb. Actually, it is nothing like the Schneider, but it’s quirky and different and really really fun. It plays much lighter than the specs would suggest. I may even call it floaty.
Honestly it just feels much tighter as a product than the original Schneider. I don’t know whether I prefer it yet, but it’s just infinitely a more polished end result. The plastic parts don’t seem cheap or tacky. I wouldn’t say ignore your worries about them, but at least let me assure you they aren’t anywhere near as bad as you might imagine.
Finally back to the YYR. I have a ‘BOB’ question. Has anyone thrown one of these guys a lot? If so, is there anyone who can comment yet on the longevity of the finish. Is there any degradation of the color in the catch zone and/or is it really trivial to scratch?

I’ve had the original black matte Draupnir since whenever it came out and haven’t had any issues with the ano wearing down in the catch zone or in the hub from finger spins, no scratches in the ano anywhere either. It is one of my most thrown yoyos, though I’m sure I play way less than the average yoyoer. If I was good at finger spins and did them more I suspect it would wear down the ano in that area, but I imagine that any yoyo would.

When you have it for a bit longer, a full review would be appreciated.
Curious question, to those with draupnirs, have you damaged yours at all yet?
My draupnir has a scratch or two, and that makes me
Nope
Can’t believe how quickly all the Draupnirs sold out on this restock. Considering selling mine but I would really like to get my hands on a Palpitation first.
If only the Palpitation had a better name. My next throw will probably be a Laser or Phaser.
