    I dont know but I know I have been hitting refresh for two hours now with "No page found" on their site. They released slightly early last time and now they are lagging...lameness.

    No problem, they also said they would release them at a time more related to normal hours for North Americans. Just keep a heads up for notices.

    I want to know if the ken feels like a Prime. I would definitely sesh the tama, but I don't want the ken if it has pretty much the same dimensions as a prime. Basecup is too big for my liking

    It is likely going to feel like a prime, but for me that is a good thing. I am also working on lighthouse related tricks so that basecup will come in handy for somersaults and instas. It is rather fat though. I Love the prime shape so this should be interesting, I got the orange one, but I might get another Prime and swap out the tama, who knows.

    In @azleonhart vid the prime and pop appear to only have oversized cups in common. The paints are completely different. I would say pop paint is close to kusa silk. The spike is really thin on the pop too which is good for spiking in that big bevel!
    I've had mine a couple of days now and being that I'm a bit of a traditionalist with cup size am liking the pop so far!
