I was literally two seconds away from posting that when you did it first. Dang it!
And I really want a Dazzler, but I’m broke. Maybe Santa will come through for me.
If I had enough money on Dazzler, I would rather spend it on trip to Japan WYYC 2015 
I was shopping for a new iPad for my wife this weekend. You could get a 64GB iPad ($699) for the same price as a Dazzler. That is a sobering thought.
One represents the culmination of approximately 25,000 years of human technical innovation, the other is a solid piece of metal; spun on a lathe.
… Pass.
Oh come now, for an engineer surely this is a highly refined piece of ore, carefully crafted to include minimal amounts of minerals and contaminants; finely worked over on a digital lathe, with the skill and craftsmanship garnered from countless years spent working metal over a furnace. This is all finished with a laser engraving utilizing some of that same Ipad technology to finish the carefully wrought titanium with a lovingly constructed design to bring you countless hours of skill based enjoyment without ever costing you any more than the initial product.
Whereas the Ipad is a digital book that only works for a few hours without you having to pump it full of your hard earned money via the medium of your electricity bill or your itunes account. Occasionally it’ll stop working for no apparent reason, or lose all of your hard earned work developing your skills of throwing some stern looking cartoon birds across a screen to destroy some poorly rendered structures. Doesn’t even have flash.
But no in all honesty I’m only teasing. I wouldn’t buy a Dazzler either I don’t think. Although I might buy a tablet.
I have to agree. Despite how many thousands of dollars I’ve spent on yoyos, I just can’t spend that much on one yoyo. Especially when my $40 Rally is my most used throw.
lol pretty sad that at this point if they sold it for the original ¥49,800(~$482) it’d look like a bargain and i’d probably jump on it.
Any legit overdrives unngraved?
Yeah, I used to own one.
Cool. What color was it?
Pink/Blue. Azrin has it now!
Any guesses as to what’s up with the ano on this Sleipnir i just got? It’s got these weird rings in the cup. Were any A- Sleipnirs sold? I thought i remember a few, but couldn’t find any in my searching. Maybe just lots of finger spins or something? Could that wear the ano down? Afaik it’s legit. Weighs correctly and bought it from James Reed. Hm…
Definitely mark from finger spins and thumb grinds. That’s why anodizing 7075 are so hard. Ano doesn’t penetrate as deep into the metal so that makes it more likely to allow for ano to removed by grinds.
Sweet. Gonna be my beater anyway so that’s great news!
Sweet. I may be getting a blue unengraved in a trade but the guy isn’t sure if it’s legit. So it should have a thick silver axle with no hex, a mark near the response, and a curvy bearing seat, correct?
One will be worth $0 in 10 years, and be desired by no one. The other will still be fun to play with. Technology is not always a great investment.
It was not a comparison of investment potential. It was a comparison of value. I think that the iPad represents more utility value for than a yoyo. How many of us buy a car to drive with future value in mind? The value is in its present use(s).
Not sure what you mean by “curvy bearing seat”
I think he meant a bearing seat that’s not flat, like most of the counterfeit models.
My most recent Montage of the YoYoRecreations that I currently own.
You’ll notice that there is still a blank space ready and waiting for the time when YoYoExpert starts selling the Dazzler. I already took out a second mortgage on the house, and I’m ready to buy one when & if they should become available. (LOL) ;D
Seriously though, I would love to grab a Dazzler when Andre stocks them.
Anyone else planning on buying one? ???
