2014 Mystery Box *SPOILER ALERT* - Official Discussion Thread

Is it a type X CT??

I think that’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 don’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 I’m guessing it’s not a CTX.

Ah, I see what you mean now. I didn’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.

I’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 up…

^ Yup, same parent company I think. I guess that’s what they call them, a parent company. :-\

Off the top, in a zone…

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 it’s a quality plastic throw, something similar to Delrin.
Maybe the store will sell them, in all colors soon we’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 Fact’ry.

-T.A.

I’m pretty sure I was joking…

I got a premium box, which I’m super excited about, but yyf made it sound like the new gentry sig was only in the $50 boxes. I’ll admit I’d be a little bummed if that’s true cuz it looks awesome and I’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 what’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 shouldn’t hurt anything.

OP’s YYE…

When I saw that plastic kendama I was so bummed that I’m not even axious to get my box anymore… If you’re gonna introduce people to a new skill toy, I’d do it with a propper one, which in this case should have been a default wooden kendama… just sayin’

and? It would be nice if YYE did that.

You could always send the kendama that comes in your box to me. I wouldn’t mind.

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