Hi Rick there is a photo of most of the Jesters...I don't know much about the Ladybugs but from memory Ladybugs were black, green, red, yellow?...
Japanese sight that you can get some of the colored Jesters.

I'll add some Ladybugs in addition: carbon, grey, blue, pink

I'm waiting for the Jester Dance. Also, Zen needs to see what he can do with the
new Ladybugs.

Well since the handles are the same, the moves don't change, but the psychological thrill varies due to the Ladybug grind.

What, no pics? :grumpy: :grumpy:
I tried the Jester Dance, but my dancing partner was unwilling.

I usually don't advise dealers I have never used.
I have used those folks twice. It is important to remember that they are Japanese, and English isn't a first language. At least one of them speaks enough English to communicate, but you have to be patient and consider not saying anything to complicated if you can help it.
All the Jesters in the photo with the Break-away chains were obtained from this dealer.
I can't say the transaction was flawless. I used the websight's online ordering system. The first order, for some reason my credit card info did not make it through. The company contacted me via email. They advised me to send my CC info (but broken up into two emails for a tiny measure of security). It worked, with no problems.
The second time I used them (approx 6 months later), my address info didn't all make it through and I again got an email requesting the missing parts of my address. I attempted to send my address multiple times, but the email kept getting bounced.
I assumed the order would be canceled, but it wasn't but the package made it here safely.I know other folks have used them with out problems. Maybe scan the Good, Bad, and Ugly for any results...maybe I was lucky?
My order with them should have made it out of Japan by now, I hope, I'll keep you advised. PE Harpy and Ti Delica for about 1/3 off typical ebay prices, can't wait.
My credit card company rejected my attempt because they won't allow any transaction there, used PayPal instead.
