    It's sold out. Check out the website though. There are plenty of other options.

    (and a sk8ply, but I might be biased there :p)

    @Ryan Brewer Combined your thread with an older one that varies only in the initial budget amount. Since idea is still just asking about what someone might get for a given budget it seems that it would be fruitful for others to see the original post and responses as well.

    I think if I had a tight budget I would pick out the "best" of the top/most notable companies' lineups of damas - one of each + something JKA and classic. So basically, an Ozora, a HG, a Craft, a Slaydawg, etc.

    But in terms of quantity for quality, the top 3 lines of damas are easily Ozoras, Sweets Primes, and (strictly from what I heard and not my own experience cuz I don't have one) a PNW Slate. I think some of the new Kaizen 2.0s are somewhat on the more affordable scale as well. So if I wanted lots of damas for cheap I'd stock up on mainly Ozoras and Primes. :)

    I’d probably just cop a GT Spec. Maybe the G&T? Or the librarian? Or possibly a GT E1 walnut?
