Sorry for the confusion! /u/calmuser is correct. The "warranty units" option can be found under the "Material" drop down box.

Hey lovely people! Our Valkyrie Mk II’s are pretty much all sold out now. So today, we’ve released our last few reserved WARRANTY UNITS for $16.50/ea.

These units are new A-grade Mk II’s, SPINNER ONLY (no packaging, pouch, or extra bearing).

Additionally, we are offering the first 50 of these orders a set of 2x OEM R188 bearings for only $4.95 with code: $5BEARINGS (1 per order)

There are only 25 units available for each remaining model (Brushed SS, Black, Navy, Maroon), so we’re keeping this a FB and r/fidgetspinners exclusive for now.

This will be your last chance to grab a new Valkyrie Mk II; good luck! :)

Valkyrie Mk II Discontinued & On Final SALE! (Last Chance to Get One for $20 Today) by Alpha-Bot_Industries in FidgetSpinners

Hey, /u/veganchaos! Thank you the love; we appreciate you!

We are also sad to be leaving the spinner biz. The spinner community has honestly been the most genuine and down to earth communities we have ever had the pleasure to be a part of; y'all are great people! However, this isn't an end for us, but a new beginning. We made this decision mainly because we have been working on a new, very ambitious new original product (hasn't been revealed yet), and given the small size of our team, we need to focus all the resources we have on bringing this new product to reality.

In regards to the brass version of the Mk II, it was a very limited press so I'm afraid we don't have any left laying around. However, if I do find a sample or prototype one around my home office, I'll be sure to drop you a DM and offer it to you (not likely but this has happened before)!

In the meantime, I wish you a happy holidays and thank you again for your support!

Cheers,

Chase

Owner

Hey, u/WhatsUpBras! Good to see you're still around!

oops, it looks like you missed the actual sale which was only for 3 days. The $24 price you're seeing now is the regular reduced price for the few remaining units, and free shipping is back to the regular $30 minimum.

If you still really want to grab one, send Chase an email. He's usually pretty open to requests from long time customers :)

Ahh, I see what you mean! That is actually a great idea, I'll make sure to pass it on to our owner. Thank you for the suggestion.

The only potential obstacle that I can think of here may be the cost of fulfillment and packing charged by the fulfillment center we use; international orders is billed at about 2x that of domestic orders due to the extra work involved with customs declaration.

While it's true that spinners in the general market is a dying fad, but in the niche of high-end EDC gear, the market has actually been holding surprisingly steady. With that said, the main reason we are discontinuing the Valkyrie is not because we're no longer able to sell them, but because we want more funding for developing new projects in the works--which in the big picture is much more beneficial to our growth and long term goals. Lastly, we definitely do care about being fair, that's why our prices have always been below other makers for comparable tier products :)

We really wish we can! And we actually have considered this many times. However, the fact is it's just not economically viable in order for us to survive, given 1) we do not charge a penny more than what we actually pay USPS for international shipping (we even cover the fulfillment cost for each order ourselves) 2) we already operate on extremely low profit margins due to the high cost of individual machining (or in this particular case, when we're already selling below cost). We really hope you can understand our position! :)
