After a 10 month run and changing the way the world looked at entry level metals, the M1 by OneDrop is being retired.
From Shawn at OneDrop:
We have new projects, and only so many machines. We are really excited by what we have coming up for the Yo-Yo Community, including some things that will excite you!
To celebrate, OneDrop is liquidating their remaining M1’s for $45. No better time to get an M1 than right now!

Maybe there will be an M2? or a plastic considering Shawn mentioned stuff about SHOCKing or that could mean cool ano jobs requiring electricity maybe…

@Sam B
Anodizing already uses electricity to dye aluminum. I agree, I think it’s going to be a M1 successor.

Err, the electricity doesn’t actually ‘dye’ the aluminum. It oxidizes the material in a way that makes it porous. I doubt there will be an ‘M2′ exactly, considering M1 stood for ‘Metal for everyone’, but I’m sure Shawn has plenty in store for us.

Aww… this stinks. But then I can’t wait to try the new OneDrop metals at Nats.
