    Did anyone get one?
    Are they worth?
    And do they hold long?
    I think they came out 1 month ago so if you have a 1 month gt-e1 can you show me a pic so i can see how they hold ?

    got the Roku from the first drop.
    worth it 10000%. Had minor problems with the stuck sarado but it's all good now.
    Spike & Paint holds up pretty well
    I only recieved it like 2.5 weeks ago so yeah see for yourself:

    @Dariush We already had a thread on the GT-E1 so your question was merged.

    From peoples Instagrams, it looks like they are selling lots of new products at Sakura Classic. Walnut E1s are back, there are new colored E1s in maple, beech, and bamboo, Stephanie Lussier prospect mod in the GT-1.5 shap3, coming with a Raw ASH sans tama. It also looks like there are more terraplies made. I hope all of these go up on the website, because honestly, I wanna try them all!

    Beech and Bamboo are not E1s, they're called GT-BBs (basic beginner), only going to be sold at events that GT is vending for, never going to be sold on the site. Only 1 terraply was there. Steph mod is a bubblegum color way. Yeah GT came to Sakura with a lot of new stuff!

    What exactly are the GT-BBs? Are they pretty much E1s? or different shape? Smaller or larger cups? Paint?

    Steph’s prospect mod looks pretty sick! Second favorite colorway right behind the cookie monsters.

    Anyone know specifics about GT-BBs? Bigger/smaller cups, different paint, hole placement, shape, etc?

    It worked thanks! Any one else got thoughts on the wormhole? I’m still experimenting with it and want to know what some other people think

    I kinda like it but I can't really get used to it. Insane for stilts but terrible for multiple slingers.

    not that big of a fan. Atleast not just reusing the design over and over. Would have preferred them continuing the GT E1 Line with the two designs and different woods. Not just colours

    I think they're cool, definitely would have liked different woods tho.

    The ice blue (skim milk) Roku is probably my favorite, when it's more white than ice blue, it looks sick on the maple
