2014 Mystery Box *SPOILER ALERT* - Official Discussion Thread

Details
Which box ( $50 $100 or $250)
Weight of package (if known)
And of coarse, the contents!

Go!

“Being that I havnt got my box yet I can’t spoil as of right now, so I will leave that up to those who have gotten their boxes already”

YYF is in the Kendama game now?

Here is the new signature, it looks like a plastic version of the Super G. It plays nice too! I’m not posting in any new threads, I think these mystery box threads should be consolidated at this point…merged rather. :-\

That’s a shaqler star?

Wow. I didn’t expect that. Looks top notch.

Cup shot?

I just modified my post to add one…my bad. ^ :wink: It might be Delrin, but I don’t know. I thought it was a metal until I unwrapped it and saw the caps.

Is it delrin? I thought Yoyofactory didn’t like delrin.

Also, when were they supposed to start shipping?

oh that is so dope. i passed on the box but that thing is right up my alley.

i hope these things will hit production.

I just modified my post, that it might be. It felt like the weight of a metal, and I thought it was, until I unwrapped it and saw the caps.

Gentry Stein is the world champ, and if he requested a Delrin, I think they might accommodate him on this one. :-\ This mystery box sales week was a great way to introduce it, and get it in people’s hands sooner.

I’m still curious what the name of it is, maybe Delrin Super G.? I’m still presuming on the Delrin part too.

And, they shipped yesterday. I got mine today, because I live in the same state as YYE. :wink:

I wonder who had the idea, Gentry or YYF. Gentry seems to be doing just fine with the shutter. I wonder what he’ll use in competition.

Aha, I’m in NY, so I’ll probably get it monday.

So 2 plastics in the $50 box?

I think you’ll be very happy with it Philip.

@AaronW That throw, if it’s Delrin, is worth around $45 - $60, same as about a Delrin Severe or a Halo. Shaqlerstar is worth $35. Kendama, I’d say $15 maybe. The multitool is about $6. Stickers are $1.50 :smiley: Over $100, for sure!

And, that new signature is 68.71 grams next to the Super G’s 68.33. It’s a nice weighty plastic throw.

I was really hoping for a metal in the $50 box… how does the new plastic signature throw compare to say throwing a shutter with weight and spin time?

Well last year boxes had different combinations. You may see someone with other contents.

With that said, material isn’t as important to me. I often play my NorthStar and Classic over my metals. (Glide, Gradient, Shutter, TooHOT)

Is it a good value? That’s up to you. A Shaqstar retails at 34.99. That’s about 70% of the up front cost. The gentry yoyo could be what makes the deal, and seems to be the main throw. I mean we don’t even know the name, let alone what it’s worth. Then you could factor in the kendama.

I have zero problems with Delrin. (If that’s what it’s made out of) Maybe it’s glass filled? Either way I dig it. It makes things more interesting. The constant funnel of new aluminum throws does get old. Props to Gentry for switching things up.

^ It spins like a metal to me. Solid like all YYF x Gentry stuff. If you like Super G and Shutter, I think you’ll love this one too.

Here’s a better look at the Kendama too (Catchy Air?):

That’s good news :smiley: can’t wait to throw it!

Now I’m kinda bummed i didnt get a box. I’ve been a huge fan of the Super G for a while and I’m really happy that YYF is revisiting that shape :D. Plus it seems like its a bit wider than the original which I feel like makes it that much better

I was hoping for a g-funk, I guess this works, haha

I’m really looking forwards to that Delrin Super G. And the whole package in general. My best plastic right now is a siliconed Lyn Fury, which has cracked hubs, and I’ve been looking at picking up a plastic or two. This package looks to fit the bill perfectly! First good plastic, first delrin, first true H shape, and first kendama.

Unfortunately my projected delivery date is Tuesday, seems so far away. I’ll be posting pics of the collector’s box then as well. Doesn’t seem like anybody else that’s active on these forums got a collector’s box, so that should be a complete surprise for me.
