Yup. In my country Singapore, Basalt Horogium is out at the local shops. Its Sonokong though, costs around $25 USD.

So this means the eBay ones aren't really pre-orders, but rather the actual Horogiums?

Yep, the SK Beafowl I ordered was sent this past saturday (the other SK maximum serie blades had the same release date).
If it's a pre-order, the sellers usually mention it on the product info section.

I am not certain if this was mentioned already in this topic, but Basalt is quite 'small', but still wider than Killer, at least ...

I just got my first Killer wheel today and Basalt is actually smaller than Killer.. unless SonoKong's Killer is wider than Takara Tomy... My Killer wheel is just about wider than my Earth wheel even.

Basalt measure Killer:

... Could you concretely measure your Metal Wheels with a tape ?

Earth = 4.5cm

Killer = 4.5cm

is basalt really THAT tiny!?

basalt must be tiny!

Tiny but heavy = compact. To bad the weight distribution is messed up due to the "staircase" in the metal wheel.

maybe if you put the gil cw on basalt, it might make it abit more balanced

Gil is only slightly unbalanced while Basalt 'lost' a whole chunk of metal, so using Gil (or any other Clear Wheel) wouldn't have much effect.

Basalt may be small,but it's defense is countering that's why it's unbalanced,and it's better to keep horogium clear wheel or bull's clear wheel and add a MF-H to it because the heavier it is, the better the counter!!!

May I just point out that Australia had more tournaments than any other country?

Because I just did.

Suckit, rest of the world.

Australia is a fraud.

I have very good visual memory, I still remember Valentin's father's credit card number.

Man Chaos Blader, you really suck.

This looks awesome. Its wheel looks pretty big that could maximize ts defense.

Sorry its metal wheel looks pretty big to maximize its defense.

Basalt Wheel = Counter Defense
MF-H Basalt Bull GB145MB/WB = Maximum Counter Defense

Key: Heavier the Defense Better, Counter Defense. After all, it can be Hell Kerbex BD145DS!!!

Basalt Horogium 145WD is Awesome

If it's small, then it's harder to hit, and more compact. I don't see how that's bad at all. Waiting for mine to make its merry way from korea is painful...

Basalt Wheel = Counter Defense
MF-H Basalt Bull GB145MB/WB = Maximum Counter Defense

Both MB/WB are outclassed by RS/RSF/CS.

Anyways, has enough testing shown whether or not Basalt is an ideal defense combo? The chunk missing from it looks like it'll unbalance it easily.

---

No "proper" testing was done with Basalt yet actually ... Only specific, 'unorthodox' combinations were tested.

Strange ... I just measured my 'Evil' and got the same as Jaems, Kyoganken must have got it wrong ...

Well mystery solved for that, it was one of those moments for people when they get numbers mixed up. He used the same measurement as the weight for the Killer metal wheel.

Weight: 31.2g Diameter: 31.2mm

So the real measurement is what i've near enough provided (excluding the mm).

It's counter defense, which B tips are good at. MB has pretty good defense, and is the heaviest bottom available too.

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new: an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto, "Anyone can cook." But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist can come from anywhere."

-Anton Ego/Peter O'Toole (1932-2013)

MB does not have good defence. It is much more suited to stamina because defence bottoms need friction which metal bottoms have a lack of, MB being not exception to this. I really doubt the B bottoms are better than rubber ones at this tbh.

---

what he's saying is counter defence. which im sure means that it moves after being hit and "counters". since RS and RSF cannot move as much as MB or WB (because of friction) they don't have as much "counter defence". thats what i htink he's saying.
also do we knw when "proper testing" may be dun? cuz im getting it tonite so it wont come for a while

:|Bladers need to be,Swift,Fast,strong..if you want to survive

^ We already knew that. Its rather good since the recoil is high.

Pretty good for attack I think,counter attack ,if a left spin attack basalt as an attack type, then It would be knocked out due to it's counter attack ability

I'm back In WBO!!! Well, I won't be active in tournaments though.

but it wont be able to move as fast with an attack performance tip due to its weight

---

:|Bladers need to be,Swift,Fast,strong..if you want to survive

it will move fast if the weight of the wheel is focused on the outside
