Worldwide; crazy video. The gradient flights look really nice. The crazy part is how Dartsbuddy got those flights to sell. If Dartsbuddy is dying the flights for both the Target and K-Flex versions they could be risking getting dropped from the "authorized" dealerships. I think your idea of both the Target and the K-Flex flights getting released early to the Japanese market for market testing might be the best explanation. Inquiring minds want to know. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Thanks and keep the videos rolling.

That crossed my mind as well. There is absolutely no way that such a reputable shop like Dartsbuddy is going to risk losing their ability to sell Target or Trinidad/Condor products. Tons of new products get released to the Japanese market first for testing and feedback and this is probably one of those times. I honestly hope that BOTH companies sell them as I think they're awesome. The fact that they sold out instantly shows that they could be a big hit. 👍🏻

That’s an insane setup you’ve got! Especially the tv thingy that’s unbelievable

Thanks. Yeah, the soft tip board is incredibly nice. I'm not huge into soft tip darts but it's nice having the wireless setup. The board is a Dartsbeat DBH 100. Top notch stuff

Real official or not? Who knows. 😂😂 I freaking love them though! I think I bought 9 sets of various color combos of the Axes when I did my first order of them, so I'm covered for a bit. The more I think about it, the more sense it makes that's Dartsbuddy is doing the dyes or at least getting them done. The fact that the K-Flex & Axes are nearly identical in the patterns & colors can't be a coincidence. Especially if you look at regular blues or reds of the OG Axe Gradients vs red & blue K-Flex...they definitely use different shades from one another, and these new gradients are perfect matches.

Also the bootleg boxes they come in is an indication that something isn't right. But... if they're sending out flights to get them dyed that can't be cheap could it? Why hardly any price difference between these and the normal flights? Regardless, I think they're really cool and to be honest I think custom flight dying could be a decent side business. They sold out almost instantly so that's a good indication.

If Dartsbuddy have dyed these themselves, surely they must of had permission from Target to rebrand them (gradient) and sell them under the Target brand. Maybe Target were happy for Dartsbuddy to test the water at no cost to themselves? Great video 👍

I’ve actually heard that some darts shop do in house dye on moulded flights long ago, so these might be actually one of those?

I think that they released those flights to the Japanese market, but due to today’s Internet market the shops in Japan sell to US/UK customers and those products get into our hands. They may not be released yet to those “markets”. We have a worldwide market now. I have purchased things from many other different countries with good results.

That's the problem with American dart shops like A-Z Darts. They don't realize how big of an impact the worldwide dart shops have had on business. Condor flight cost $20 and over at their shop. If I wanted 5 sets of Condor flights from A-Z it would ccst me $100+ and I'd get free shipping. Most of the Condor's at Dartsbuddy are $9-$10. I could order 5 sets for $45 plus spend another $20 for shipping and it would be $65 total. That's a HUGE difference. On top of that, they use express shipping so in all reality you'd probably get them quicker from Japan. Same thing goes for Double Top Darts in the UK. I'm going to purchase from them before I ever think about spending nearly twice as much for the same products at A-Z Darts.

Can't wait for the purple intermediate to come back in stock somewhere.

hey, gradient looks nice, setup looks nice. you got new glasses?

I have one of the 'Clear Stem to Black Flight' gradient Condor Axe's. It's not even listed on their website?. Very confusing sometimes with the regional stuff.

On dartsbuddy's website in the description of the gradient k-flex flights under attention it says the dying process is done by hand by craftsmen so I think dartsbuddy are dying normal kflex

That's new. It never mentioned this before. Thanks for pointing it out.

Okay, does anyone know anything about dying plastic? I've done it with some non darts related stuff and it totally looks like I did it at home. How easy/hard would it be to dye smooth, hard plastic flights? I'm thinking that the dye wouldn't stick to the plastic?

@@WorldwideDarts Yeah, I'm going to wing it. I read that it just needs to be hot, not boiling. I have some Alcohol inks laying around so I might try that method first. Then maybe the synthetic dye if that doesn't work. Probably give it a shot over the weekend.

Am just wondering if your attending the darts in New York??

They're companies, the market will decide. Or at least it should.

I lime them. Maybe the Condor are a little bit too invisible
