    IMO $75 is crazy for the loon. I know the presentation is nice, it’s weight matched, etc. but at the end of the day I don’t think it’s equivalent to the GT’s, Crafts, RWB’s and so on, especially if it’s not made in the U.S. (I’m assuming it’s made overseas since they don’t specify, but I’m not sure) I think $50 is more reasonable personally

    Lunatac lists the tama as Maple. Any ideas what the ken is?

    "The sticky paint has a clear coat over a maple tama. . . "

    It looks like the normal price is actually $37 but they are just doing this for hype. They just reset the timer for the deal too. It looks great and I really want one, but I don't think LunaTac should be stooping to this level. It's totally unnecessary. They are very innovative but being the first to use sketchy marketing tactics is not innovation.

    I hope some light is brought to this and I really feel for those who did pay $75 for theirs. Hopefully they can get $37.50 refunded to them after Lunatac confesses.

    o_O I really dislike this sort of marketing tactic. Feels like a sketchy late-night infomercial. Slaylunars have put out some nice content in the past, and parts of this are well produced. Just overall don't like the vibe of it at all.

    Do you think there is an option to make the purchase in just 4 easy payments of $9.38*?

    *plus additional undisclosed handling fees, of course

    I just copped the loon yesterday. First they said i get a special offer, because i couldnt use my paypal, then i had to pay 3,00€ more then before :/ (with the special they offered)
    I really hope i dont get disappointed. Because what they did in the marketing section like all the "you used the giveaway, you get a special code", "we have a secret site, you will get 50%" and all the people who bought it for the full price was not good way to release the loon.

    I’m sure the dama will be great! I didn’t mean to imply it’s not worth the price. Just that I think the ad campaign is funny

    The squabs will drop in maple, ash, bamboo, and zembrano. The tama will have their satin paint.

    Craft slims restocked in Ash and Yellow Birch! Not sure if it's a new version or not.
    Edit: Looks like it is a new shape! Hype!
    I'll wait to see if they drop hickory and maybe I'll get one. My craft shift is more than enough right now.

    Slims are definitely a new shape. I tried the shape a little while ago, and they sure are very slim. My only concern is they will snap in half! They perform similar to a sweets prime, but have a little different feel with larger cups and larger tama, so I prefer the slim over the prime by far. They are also HONED for slingers.
