Already Gone
Eleven of this week's 24 new drops sold out before the week ended. That is close to half. Against the Grain's entire BONK lineup (six models, all $84.99) is the biggest chunk of that. Add Erratic Squirrel's Latte Mod and Sound of Tapa set, Big Cup Fast Hand's RYAN, Locked Studios' Master Key, and Kendama USA's Jet Shape Timber colorway, and that covers the sold-out list.

Kendama USA touched 49 products total this week between new drops and restocks. Nobody else came close.
If you want the cheapest way into a new drop this week, Big Cup Fast Hand's RYAN at $27.00 and Locked Studios' Master Key Ken Only at $30.00 were the entry points, though both sold out. Against the Grain's six BONK models at $84.99 each were the priciest new releases.
Drop counts here track distinct models. Colorways count separately, but pack sizes, complete/ken/tama formats, and wood options of the same design collapse into one count. Numbers come from the DAMA PIG tracker, which polls every kendama shop we track.
