And I’m sorry if I sound like a “broken record” but the only posts I’ve been making lately are when someone quotes me and makes a response, And ignoring them just wouldn’t be proper?
Well said. I respect you for standing by your opinion and acknowledging everyone else’s opinions too. We love hearing from the company, you guys are great.
Actually ignoring them would be fine if you’re just going to repeat the same points, it makes you seem like you always need to have the last word.
Who won the Grand Prize? jhauxfan?
i hope to get my mystery boxes soon…
right that’s what i’m wondering.
He posted a thread about winning, there’s nothing to wonder about anymore.
Well, usps misplaced my mystery box somewhere… They’re leaving a note for the guy who was supposed to drop it off so I’m hoping for the best. This reminds me why you shouldn’t trust the lowest shipping price lol.
I only have issues now and then with shipping. But only with my post office in particular
Now That I’ve got mine, I can confirm that the ReGen and the Kendama are both great.
I wanted a tool, so that was a pleasant surprise, and this is my first protostar, so no complaints there(except that the clear plastic is hard to see when it’s spinning).
The kendama is actually a lot easier than the Tk16, so it may be a good beginner tool, but maybe also a good thing to carry around, as to not look like a dufas in public.
And the Regen it fantastic. At least as good as my shutter. The shape is aggressively H, but the material is easy on the hand. It spins for a nice long time, and is just floaty enough for me to land some of the harder tricks I’m working on. My only complaint is that the fit and finish is meh(the caps are not cleanly applied and there is a pretty noticeable white scratch on mine.)
Overall everything is good. I still think it was a weird stunt to put a kendama in there, but I’d have paid 50USD for just the ReGen, so it’s all Icing.
This has been my first experience with the Mystery Box and it certainly has been exciting. After reading all the old posts about last year’s Mystery Box, initially I was just happy to get one. And, of course, I started daydreaming about the possibilities. What you guys did this year (introducing a previously unreleased signature throw) was really unique and I consider myself lucky to have been a part of it. Although I didn’t get the metal yoyo I was hoping for, I did get 2 plastic throws, each a different shape than the one I already own, and both perform better. While I do understand some people’s disappointment with the Kendama, i, personally, have been enjoying the introduction to a new skill toy and my 3yo daughter loves it too.
Your 3 year old has been playing with the Kendama? That is pretty darn impressive.
Most three year olds love anything attached to something with a string. They’re kinda like cats. (Not saying that man’s child is anything like a cat, it was ment as a joke and I mean no offence)
Jhauxfan won; confirmed
He made a post with pics
So… What was this “Zorro won” thing?
There was a thread where people were checking the weight of their boxes on the tracking info to see whether they could have won or not. Zorro’s box seemed to be heavier than the rest and so it was assumed that he perhaps could have been the lucky winner.
Once everyone received their mystery boxes, Zorro led everyone on for a bit making them think he had won the box with his cryptic posts and over-use of the “thank you” function. However we now know that this was not the case and the real winner has since been revealed, as you mentioned.
I all ready have a proto star so I’m down to trade for whatever. Offer up. Pm.
Yup, that’s me. I had one box that weighed 3lbs, but I think that was incorrect, because I just got the standard stuff. Oh well.
Well, as you all know, I struck out getting the premium or collector box here, so I settled for the smaller box instead.
But, while I was willing to spend some crazy loot on Black Friday, I decided to see what mystery boxes were going on elsewhere. I don’t show other stores any love, but I decided it was okay to broaden my horizons for just one day.
Without saying too much, I got one easy for $150 somewhere, and this is what was inside (and normal retail prices):
YYF Cyborg $110
YYF Aviator $109
C3 Teleport $50
YYF Shaqlerstar $35
YYF Northstar $35
YYF Protostar $35
YYF Hyper Yoyo Mercury $16.99
YYM Crook $29.99
It was like a YYF mystery box actually. I might sell the Cyborg for $75, sell the Aviator for $75 and consider all the rest free. I already have two Cyborgs (one with the same exact colorway), and I own two Aviators too (different colors, but better colors). I already have Shaqlerstar, Protostar (different colors though) and Northstar, but those make great prizes. I was excited about the Teleport, one I don’t already have.
I lucked out on a YYE collectors box too, I believe I have the same thing coming in the mail, if you got it from, uh, lets call it GogoRoarTreeBind.
I also did this. My box was similar to TA’s but did not include the two high end YYF. Instead it came with a Vosun Eztrik and a Krown.
