interesting. Since it will come up anyway, I might as well ask myself and now: So has the YYJ patent thing been dropped for the US? Or what’s the reason that it’s finally hitting YYE? Andreas UPDATE: the countdown ran out and … got stuck. The late revenge of YYJ? :wink: ---

Last year, I was told that the reason why there’s no Draupnir in the store is because of the YYJ situation. Apparently, something has changed now. Or it hasn’t because right now, there’s still no Draupnir available, just a counter that’s stuck at the Zero Hour 🙂 Cheers Andreas ---

The counter didn’t get stuck at zero, Andre just forgot to remove it from the page once the product was activated, sorry for any confusion there. The Draupnirs were available at 8:00 and actually sold out in under 1 minute lol. Can’t really say i’m surprised though! ---

then it’s not surprising that they were gone so fast. Any reason why they are now made available while for the longest time it didn’t seem to be possible? ---

It would appear that YoYoJam felt their energy was better spent focused on protecting the original core intention of the patent itself which was on plastic/metal construction. ---
