I don’t think the horse head looks ENOUGH like a 2 for it to be intentional. Even if it IS a “Sleipnir 2” I think it would be coincidence. It’s a cool-looking piece, though!
Wonder what the Invasion is all about.
It’s so easy for a company to ruin a beautiful yoyo with a poor engraving, but I feel here that they’ve done the complete opposite… those engravings are just gorgeous. This is the most excited I’ve been about a new release in a long time. 
I’m tempted to start collecting Draupnir as well. Having one of each colour would be pretty sweet.
It all looks so good, my PayPal account is weeping. Curious to see the price on Sleipnir since Draupnir is only around $200 right now.
At the typical price of 14,800 Yen for their single metal throws that would be $125 at the current exchange rate. :o
Sputnik
lol, trying to distance themselves from Russia and a slight jab at Putin’s antics ya think? Interesting.
Wow, well played yyr.
I don’t know what Sputnik was about either, mind you.
The prices are up on 44clash
invasion looks like a 4a thing
Huzzah! I’ve done a little conversion just so you guys don’t have to.
At today’s rates those equate to:
Invasion - $40.00
Diffusion - $30.00
Sleipnir - $135.00
Draupnir - $202.00
Dazzler - $508.00
135 Bucks for a Sleipnir sounds pretty darn good to me. ;D
Guys, what kind of response pads do my Mr.Butcher use?
Some Google translate engrish there. But looks the Sputnik is still being perfected. Hopefully out soon!
could try genyo thick hat pad, but if you dont mind a gap around the groove just use any regular 19mm.
id 14.6 od 19.6 for yyr large yoyos
Thanks! Thin or regular?
EDIT: According to this other site, the Broad pad is OD 21mm, and then you have the non-broad (regular) which is OD 19.6mm
???
mmmm… Purple!
regular
Yet I don’t know exactly which throws uses Broad pads, I just know that the Stardust 2 does
as if OD matters
Oh man I hope those sleipnir come out before Christmas, it would be one heck of a present.
