will the manatee release before worlds, after worlds or at worlds?
Before.
Do you guys mask the response region of your return tops before bead blasting to avoid friction and string breakage?
I'm honestly not sure how our anodizer handles it. I simply trust them to continue doing it the way they've been doing it, which works great. -Steve
which signature yoyos are currently in the pipeline?
Manatee is in production right now for Riccardo, we're on the 3rd proto of a new signature for Petr (lower end for the Czech market, not replacing the Scout), Igloo is releasing in May. -Steve

ok im new to the scene...why was an entire batch of sasquatches fools gold?
The bearing seat tolerances were off, and the entire run has minor vibe. -Steve
international shipping from your store does not have any form of tracking. What happens if a package gets lost?
Actually it does have tracking, just not once it leaves the US. That's the budget shipping rate. We do offer USPS Priority International, which is tracked and insured, but it's expensive and no one wants to pay for it.
Luckily we haven't had many packages lost. Only a couple that I can think of. -Steve

Is the Manatee being machined in Canada or elsewhere? Thanks!
The Manatee is being machined in China, and this will be our first full-sized return top at a new, lower price point. -Steve
Approximately how long until the Manatee is released?
A few months, at least. -Steve

Hey Steve. Could you give me a short description of the play of the Scout and Sasquatch?I couldnt really find any trusty reviews and equally like the specs of both the return tops. Also how much is the shipping cost to Asia?Thanks in advance!
The Sasquatch is more of a casual throw. Lots of rim weight, narrower profile, and it's got a real "great everyday carry pocket throw" kinda feel to it. It's my everyday carry and has been for a while.
The Scout is very much built towards competition play. Wider profile and catch zone, still good rim weight and stability but more evenly distributed weight to make it a faster player so you can crank through all those tricks on stage. It's got the comfort of the Chief with the super v-profile of the Bonfire, and handles horizontal and speed combos a lot better than the Sasquatch. -Steve

Sorry, not sure what you mean. They will be injection-molded plastic but different specs, different plastic, different bearing setup. -Steve

How are the Yeti 2's coming? Will we see them in stores anytime soon? You should make some clear ones, they looked cool! Any pics? (Sorry, I know this is a lot to ask.)
They're coming along. We'll announce a release date when we have one. :) -Steve
Chief Vs. Orca, compare and contrast, go! (Not just preformance)
The Chief is light and floaty and cheerful, while the Orca is heavier, more stable and longer spinning, and serious. -Steve

What is the "super secret proto" that Petr using? or is it too secret?
We're on the 2nd prototype, and a 3rd one is being machined right now. We'll give more details once we've finalized the design and scheduled production. -Steve
