2014 Mystery Box *SPOILER ALERT* - Official Discussion Thread

Spill the beans bro :joy: you got it?

For the sake of constructive criticism and not ending up being a complete duchbag, we should make a poll thread where everyone votes according to how they felt with the mystery box so we can get something positive out of this and yye/yyf can take peopleā€™s opinion into consideration more accurately for the future.

Heartfelt Thanks to YYF and YYE for making the experience possible and sorry to those who had to put up with my attitude yesterday on this thread :bowing_man:

zorro whether or not you won youre still being annoying, just like most of your posts.

if you did win its not a coincidence, the mgmt here just felt bad for you.

We go into this every year trying to create something people will love but also knowing we canā€™t please everyone.

There is always love and hate for the Mystery Box because people love a mystery - They expect all of their wildest dreams to come true when they open the mysterious box and are either really happy with the surprise they get or really disappointed they didnā€™t get what they were hoping for. Nothing we can do to change that, itā€™s just the nature of the mystery.

Personally I still stand by this being the best Mystery Box yet. It seems a brand new, unreleased, unannounced, machined plastic World Champion signature YoYoFactory Yo-Yo isnā€™t exciting to everyone I guess. We all have our own opinions and with yo-yos everyone likes something different.

I can say that I am thoroughly enjoying the new YYF plastic and Catchy Air though, been playing with them both nonstop since they came in!

Yup ;D

Iā€™m good at doing that kinda thing.

:hushed:so itā€™s still a mystery :kissing_smiling_eyes:

So, would anyone with a $100 box want to trade any of the two metals they got for my entire Unopened $50 box? Lolol

The mystery box idea is wonderful, both for buyers and the store. It is exciting to get the mystery and the store gets rid of extra stock veggie before you have to count everything for taxes and reports. It is exciting guessing what is inside and you do run the risk of being disappointed, that is part of the mystery. As it is a Yoyo Mystery Box the main things should be yoyo and any promises of what the total is should be for the yoyos, anything extra is just that, extra, a bonus. I donā€™t look up the costs of each yoyo in the box, I just expect at least 2 in the $50 box (based on past years). Even that expectation is not necessarily deserved. As long as what is promised is met (i.e. numberof, material, cost, etcā€¦). Everybody will have their opinion of the box and if they like the yoyos, but as long as what was advertised is met, you get what you get. That being said, the mystery boxes are advertised as annual, new each year, which definately implies that they are not copies of previous years, in any way (for the main part of the box, not the extras). This is important because there so much repeat business from year to year in the mystery box. This was the first year for three options of the Mystery box so there were kinks to work out.

I said it before and Iā€™ll say it again. You defiantly expressed this as your opinion. And that is duly noted and I will just remember in the future that your opionion is not worth much.

And who says your negative opinion about the box is worth any more than his? Please donā€™t bicker with other members just because their opinion isnā€™t aligned with yours. We donā€™t need that kind of negativity around here.

Why should my negative opinion be any less relevant than someoneā€™s positive opinion?

I didnā€™t say it was less relevant. Youā€™re the one who was stating that a positive opinion wasnā€™t worth much. While that may be true for yourself, that you wonā€™t value his opinion anymore, you donā€™t need to state that publicly. You already stated your own opinion on the box, thereā€™s no need to judge otherā€™s opinions publicly. That just creates tension and negativity thatā€™s unnecessary.

You really seem to be hung up on this, between your (many) posts here, your question to YYF on ask.fm etc. We get it - you donā€™t like the box. Iā€™m sure YYF and YYE will take the negatives into consideration next year if they do mystery boxes again. You donā€™t need to keep restating your point just because someone comes along who doesnā€™t agree with it. You just come across as a broken record.

Iā€™m not actually that unhappy with my box. I love a good plastic. The problem I have is with all the hype that it would be better than last year. Granted that was an opinion, but I honestly donā€™t think you will find a single person that agrees with that opinion. And if they do, offer them a genesis for their plastic super g and see where they stand there.

I think we need Kitebugā€™s unboxing video from last year to lighten the mood.

^ This is what the Mystery box is all about. Makes me smile everytime. ;D

So who was the actual ā€œlucky oneā€ this year? Who got the lucky mystery box??

I expressed unjoyed with the box before, but I wanted to jump back on, and after seeing all the replies to people whining (Me included, Iā€™ll own up to that) is was my problem was that I felt like I payed for two throws I normally wouldnā€™t have bought anyhow. XP Iā€™ve come to retract that. The new gentry throw is Really, really fun. XD I really do like it so I think of if that I got that, plus a bunch of free stuff. XD
And I would like to also add, people do whine, I whine about a lot, but I do take responsibility for that. Iā€™m coming to change my perspective on the mystery bow and really like what I got. So in summery, blah blah blah I was wrong. XD
