There's always a logical explanation, and when I find some time, either this weekend or next week, I will tell the whole story in a separate thread! The tough question is which forum should it go in, Yo-Yos or Share? It is definitely yoyo related, so it will not go in Whatever....  db

Re: Introducing the Sovereign Can't wait DB, looks like an epic adventure with the forces of Tiki yoyo'ers and the horrible rodent hordes.

Re: Introducing the Sovereign da5id wrote: So yes, the Sovereign is made out of titanium. It's looking to have about a 50mm diameter and will weight in the 64-65 gram range. David, I understood that titanium was about $5 per gram. Unless your electroplating titanium over some other material to reduce costs maybe. I don't know ... this stuff isn't my specialty. I'm just trying to wrap my head around how a solid titanium yoyo could have anything less than a $300+ price tag. - Andrew

Re: Introducing the Sovereign Check your pricing. At RETAIL, today you can buy a 4 foot 2" diameter titanium round rod stock for $1900 or less. Assuming you use, say, 1 1/2" of titanium per yoyo, you can get 32 yoyos from that bar. Do the math...$1900/32 = $59.38 per yoyo, in raw titanium cost...At 65 grams you then have $0.91 per gram. And that's at retail material pricing. Take in to consideration a bulk purchase and real wholesale pricing, and the cost goes down from here.
Any questions?

Re: Introducing the Sovereign I have no clue how much the yo will be nor what David/Shawn are paying, but a quick search on eBay shows you can get 2.5" diameter/11" long for $150. http://cgi.ebay.com/TITANIUM-ROUND-BAR- ... 286.c0.m14Also, they don't list prices, but here is a seller that has all sorts of Ti bars for sale. http://ti4sale.com/new_page_22.htm

Re: Introducing the Sovereign oh after seeing these prices im much more excited! i know they arent the prices that the yoyos will be, 1drop still needs to make money of course. but i was thinking they would be in the high 100$ range.
