Got 2 of my boxes and did an unboxing, but much to GregP’s delight i’m pretty sure i got a few raw and unengraved throws wrong, so i’ll just post a picture lol.
Imgur: The magic of the Internet
E=mc2(?), Attune, Uragment, DreadnoughtG, GleipDrnir, Clashcube.
It’s definitely a Z-ON. I got the same combination, DreadG, Clashcube, Z-ON. It’s thinner and is a little smaller in terms of diameter compared to my OG ava. OG ava specs: 55, 43

Sorry to post back to back, but I think I might have some helpful, although somewhat contradictory information on this. Recently I contacted a store that Shinya works at to ask them if they would be getting any more Sleipnirs that aren’t silver. They asked what color I wanted so I told them anything except silver or pink. After that they emailed me back saying that they will be getting 1 and only 1 more Sleipnir and it would be orange. They didn’t give an exact date on when so I told them to contact me when they did and I would buy it. In the meantime I also messaged the main place where you can buy yoyorecreation yoyos directly, asking them if they would be making any more Sleipnirs that weren’t sliver or pink. They said that they wouldn’t be making any more for at least the next several months. I bought the orange Sleipnir from the other site and to my surprise it came with a fancy plaque type thing autographed by Shinya Kido himself. Shortly after I paid for my orange Sleipnir Shinya Kido announced he had left Yoyorecreation.
So it’s sort of contradictory because one place says they aren’t expecting any more Sleipnirs at all, and the direct site says they wouldn’t be making any for AT LEAST several months.
Now here is something that I just want to throw out there… the site that I bought the Sleipnir from has a disclaimer about manufacturing marks and ano flaws on YYR yoyos, and to my delight the Sleipnir I received is completely flawless. I mean it’s beautiful. Not even the tiniest flaw anywhere on it. When they told me it would be a few days they wouldn’t give me a specific date, only that it would be soon. I didn’t realize it until a week or so after I bought it that I got the email saying they had it for me the day after Shinya took 1st place in 1A at the recent Japanese yoyo competition. Guess what color Sleipnir Shinya used to win that contest? Orange. I also asked a few people if Shinya normally signs a nice looking cardboard plaque when you buy from this site, and 1 person said they thought they had received that before, but many people said they had ordered from this place and never got Shinya’s autograph. That, coupled with the fact that I was told they had the yoyo the day after the contest, and the fact that at the time the direct site had no Sleipnirs at all for sell leads me to believe that I got the yoyo Shinya used to win that contest, or more likely one of his alternate yoyos in case he got a knot. I’ve been thinking about emailing the site back to ask if I’m right, but I have bothered them enough and even if I am right I don’t believe they would tell me since it is suppose to be a brand new Sleipnir.
Long rant, but final point here. If you like YYR yoyos and haven’t been able to try a Sleipnir, buy one now if you have the money just in case they are gone for good. They are the best yoyo I’ve ever tried performance wise.
I got that aswell when i bought my Sleipnir from that store

Too big and too light to be a Z-ON. Definitely Gleipnir.

Mine’s a Z-ON then. How does the uragment play?
Amazing. First few throws i was kind of unsure about the weight and shape, but then it just instantly clicked and i think i played it more yesterday than anything else. The shape is so cool the way it plays, and it actually feels great in the hand. Just makes me want a Fragment even more now to compare.
They’re easy to distinguish.
broad pads - Z-ON

Aww, man… What did you have to give for it, if i may ask?
Slightly damaged Clash2012 and 50$. Good deal for me because the clash just did not fit my preferences.

This thing is amazing.
They make it feel hollow.
Like if you just dropped it, it’d fall at half the speed of gravity.
