This was much easier than last year. (For me) I checked out real smooth. No error message. No constant reloading. Extremely pleased with the ease of ordering.
I think it may be that less ppl are interested though. I got mine 27 mins after the email was sent. Last year I tried twice. First time took 10 mins. That was too slow. The next day I clocked in at 3 mins. I got several error messages but it finally went through.
This could be due to having more options. (Premium/Collecters/Standard)
Maybe people just no longer think its a great deal.
got mine monday sat down saw they were selling thought i wouldnât get one, took a shower came back downstairs they still hadnât sold out so i got twoâŚone is going to a friend though.
I was refresh between the buying page and my mail boxâŚ
Still didnât get the mailâŚ(I found the mail in the junk box afterward!)
Luckily,I also refresh the buying page that makes me score one box!!
I was going to buy two boxes this time,but I was underestimate the shipping feeâŚ($29!!)
So eventually got one. And I really hope that would be worthy
Itâs a real shame, since itâs a good yoyo. I took my prototype one away with me as my holiday throw for a week and I really enjoyed it.
I think the biggest problem was that it was just a simple design that came at the wrong time. With the Shutterâs perculiar shape and cup design, and the Horizonâs likewise unique construction, the comparatively simple CZM8 just isnât getting the same attention. There are so many amazing throws out in the budget-metal range these days, itâs a tough market to really stand out in.
Also, the feel/play of the CZM8 is nothing inspiring. Itâs a good, stable, long spinning throw, but it doesnât really have a unique feel or standout characteristic so you donât hear much buzz about it. Itâs like the 2013 Superstar in that respect, it feels a tad robotic, even though it performs really well.
I also feel the choice of colourways as well as the engravings let it down a bit. I think the prototype CZM84VK looked a lot better with the smaller engravings. Most of the splash ones were done back when YYFâs splashes were pretty awful, which didnât help much either.
Agreed on all points. The CZM8 was my second purchase when I got back into throwing. I found it largely uninspiring at first, but that was more so because its shape was simple and it was just robotic like you said. However, I revisited it heavily on a weekend out of town, and realized itâs really a great throw. It just sticks anything I throw at it. Unfortunately, Iâm more a fan of organics, but if I want to get a trick down, Iâd pick my CZM8 to hit it with first. I kind of assume this is true of most V or more competition styled throws than organics, but the CZM8 is no joke, and a great value.
If they didnât take off, then nobody would enjoy one in their box. But, anyways, they werenât prototypes, they were just special editions that you could only get before the first run and with a Mystery Prague Pack.
Then why did YYE and YYf say that they were prototypes. They wouldnât lie about that, also there were no prototypes if you say that the Prague werenât prototypes.
I donât remember one way or the other what YYE said⌠but remember that pre-release and prototype are not the same thing. Pretty sure they called it a pre-release.
The far more common scenario is that prototypes donât get a run at all, so your logic is a bit flawed. If you say that Prague werenât prototypes, that has no effect on whether there were prototypes at all. Of course there were. Somebody somewhere finished and initial design and made a few of the Cypher, tested it, and made tweaks as needed. Thatâs what prototyping is. Prototypes are usually kept in-house or find their way into collectorsâ hands.
Sorry to hear some of you did not get the notification emails. They get sent out automatically so sometimes they can get pushed into your junk/spam folder and once the server gets swamped they can get delayed a little.
There is good news though! Todayâs release will be announced through the forums so all of you should have a significant advantage at getting a Mystery Box!
