    That's my first real Black Friday deal I had and I'm hella happy.

    From KUSA:
    •#BrayMod Maple, actually sad that it's no longer bamboo one,
    •Birch Kaizen 2.0, fresh natty made of favourite wood, and also I'm pretty hyped about new Kaizen,
    •Slay Towel - man's really hot sometimes
    •finally bought the Kengarden Dama Display (actually I meant to only buy that and towel maybe)
    •bearings for some older setups and my friend.

    And from lovely kendama.cz that dropped prices on some Sweets:
    •Pride Dama, gotta help people
    •Cotton Candy, because of the great design, super low price and a chance of trying Phase 1, but haven't heard too much about it, tbh.

    Still waiting for a package from Sweets, Norx mod and Yellow Luzumaki with a fanny pack/dama holder. It was in transit from Chicago to Poland for 8 days. Wonder if I'll have the KUSA package before Christmas. Those Postal Systems man...

    So... Yea, I might lose couple pounds now. :D

    wanted to cop some sweets as i don’t have too many of them in my collection and it’s pretty hard to find the latest sweets products here but the shipping made me turn away.

    checked krom but same with sweets...shipping but i’m getting a beams thanks to a good friend who was alr gonna cop some beams from the international website so saved a couple bucks from sharing shipping.

    kusa was ok but the deal didn’t rlly get me. most companies give away a free dama if u spend a certain amount of money but they had a giveaway + the discount wasn’t that amazing so i passed

    in the end, decided to go with kendama israel. heard many good reviews and recommendations plus their discounts were ard the same with kusa but what attracted me was the free dama and $5 international shippingno matter how much u buy (like what???) so i hopped on and copped a kwc bamboo tetrah, beech tetrah both rhino clear and the bob maple shekel clear! and copped a rhino ash tetrah and marley shekel for my friend too to save on shipping and being able to get the free dama. total was abt $158 usd. seemed like a good purchase for me :) but rlly bummed abt the big brothers being out of stock :(

    I picked up a Sol flow (like everyone else apparently. So hyped!) and a Pop. My girlfriend is already rolling her eyes every time she sees my current collection so I figured I should go easy. I’m super excited about the flow. It’s my first Sol kendama as well so I’m extra stoked.

    So this is a humble brag thread in disguise. Oh yissssss (help me)
    My name is Jaxson and I have been charged guilty of wallet assault and murder.

    I bought 3 sol's.
    One Pompeii, one mahogany, one pastel.
    I bought 2 from HNL.
    One wine red Mugen ($46!!!!!!!), one redheart sweets rolling pin.
    And now grain theory body slams me from the top of the ring with the new drop, and last night I promised myself I would buy one if it's the last thing I do.
    If I don't get one I'll get crippling depression instead. :(
    At least my wallet would be somewhat safe though!

    So all in all I spent approx $196. :(

    If it gets swooped out of my cart when I'm checking out I swear I will have a mental breakdown.

    I went to the kusa house in ga for black Friday and snagged a green galaxy Oozie and a mash up teej mod ken with a wiens tama. Picked up both and some bearings and a few strings for $35. And my mash up I pulled out of a pile of kens and a pile of tamas and didn't weigh them but did when I got home and they are a gram apart. So not a bad deal all around. Now I just need the pink and I'll have the triverse? Muiltiverse.

    I told myself I wouldn't spend any money this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, but I gave in this morning and bought a yellow Luzumaki and a Beam Me Up tee/kendish from Find Your Wings :rolleyes:
