2014 Mystery Box *SPOILER ALERT* - Official Discussion Thread

Is it a type X CT??

I think thatā€™s what YoyoExpert Garrett meant by the ā€œbest yet.ā€ We got two throws, and another skill toy too. :slight_smile: It sets it apart from past mystery boxes.

I donā€™t even know the difference, so I wish I could help out on that one. Definitely a CT though.

Type X CT, or CTX, is just a 10 ball CT, whereas the regular one is an 8 ball. Probably requires de-shielding the bearing to tell, but Iā€™m guessing itā€™s not a CTX.

Ah, I see what you mean now. I didnā€™t realize the 10 ball had that name. The 10 balls I get from YYF, I usually know, because they are deshielded. This one has a shield on, so I just presumed 8 ball.

Iā€™m pretty sure catchy is owned by YYF

catchy is owned by yyf and no one told me!!! why??? why??? do things like this happen

I think there owned by the same company. My source is their askfm page.

it is true i looked it upā€¦

^ Yup, same parent company I think. I guess thatā€™s what they call them, a parent company. :-\

Off the top, in a zoneā€¦

Is it an oversized, metal, a plastic, or a minature?
No, a normal sized throw, and a Gentry Stein signature.
We wanted to know the mystery, but no one here was telling,
And itā€™s a quality plastic throw, something similar to Delrin.
Maybe the store will sell them, in all colors soon weā€™ll find,
this yo-yo shaped just like a Super G, and what a cool design.
While it looks like Super G, this one is new and in plastic,
All blacked out and cool to see, this new throw is fantastic.
I got two $50 boxes, well worth it if you ask me,
Always going to cop it, when the box is from the Factā€™ry.

-T.A.

Iā€™m pretty sure I was jokingā€¦

I got a premium box, which Iā€™m super excited about, but yyf made it sound like the new gentry sig was only in the $50 boxes. Iā€™ll admit Iā€™d be a little bummed if thatā€™s true cuz it looks awesome and Iā€™m really into plastics right now.

Well, perhaps we might discuss the contents of your premium box. I got two $50 boxes, so I have double the Gentry plastic at this time. Keep me posted. :wink:

I recently got a TooHoT. It also has a CT. When I saw the shields I assumed it was an 8 ball. When I checked under the hood, 10 balls were staring back at me. You may have a CTX.

Do make things easier for people like me who are only reading this thread to see whatā€™s in the boxes. Could OP update the orginal post to include the contents of each box as we learn? The thread has spoiler alert on it so it shouldnā€™t hurt anything.

OPā€™s YYEā€¦

When I saw that plastic kendama I was so bummed that Iā€™m not even axious to get my box anymoreā€¦ If youā€™re gonna introduce people to a new skill toy, Iā€™d do it with a propper one, which in this case should have been a default wooden kendamaā€¦ just sayinā€™

and? It would be nice if YYE did that.

You could always send the kendama that comes in your box to me. I wouldnā€™t mind.

Did anyone receive the 100 or 200 boxes yet?
Post pics please!!
