True fact, Mike. Seems to me that the original question was asked and answered, then we all “enjoyed” (to various degrees) a tangential conversation.
Pretty typical for an internet conversation whether in a forum or on social media. 
I guess. But, some common courtesy isn’t difficult to muster, I would think.
This is beyond confusing, two similar usernames in one thread.
My $.02, deal with the ano. Just do it.
I went to see the pictures of the store and the yoyo published has no discoloration, here it is:

then the object of this discussion is defective.
that is not a different shade of gray, but a lack of color or due to an air bubble in the staining step or to scolorimernto being acid washing. … a defect is a defect occurred during the production phase and therefore the responsibility is only of the manufacturer!
the fact that the manufacturer has responded to contact the store again shows a lack of seriousness and professionalism.
Hey, Smarty. Look at the left half of your first picture above the blue.
That is EXACTLY what OP posted a picture of.

I do not seem!
and if so, if that was something desired and normal as it ever the store did contact the manufacturer and producer told him to “solve the problem” with the seller?
enlighten me!

Perfect splashes are difficult. Anodizing is difficult.
Just look at the first photo again. In the upper left you can see the dark gray.
It really is that easy.
Fake outrage has over taken the forums.

If you’re asking why C3 told him to go back to the seller, it’s because they are the owners of the yoyo (until it was bought by the customer of course). The store buys the yoyos from C3, adds a bit of profit for themselves and then sells the yoyos to the public. Once it’s out of C3’s hands, and has been sold to retailers, it’s technically not their yoyo anymore. And since this is limited stock, they don’t have anymore to give to the OP in trade. So they’re directing him to the store to see if they can make the swap. That is normal practice.
What are those pictures from the store supposed to say?
Do you mean that if the store showed a picture with ano flaw then every individual yoyo sold under that name are also expected to have it? So that the retailer has satisfied the customers right to know and thus it s at their own discretion whether to buy or not
Just give poor little Mo some love. No anodizing is perfect and all are unique.

but if your thesis is that there is no defect, because the response of C3 did not say this?
that is in fact an admission that this is a defect, not the norm
Maybe it’s not a flaw.
Have fun with your toy bruh. Make up a new combo. Attempt that trick you’ve never landed. Make the simple amazing. Make that video you’ve been putting off for days.

I’ll just quote the only reasonable reply I’ve read so far in this thread: mine ;D
here is a picture of my Krown that was sold as a B-grade for ano flaws at worlds for 60$, pretty similar ,don’t you think?
I’m with the OP on this one
identical
Thread scrubbed. Lets keep it civil folks. 
Not really. Yours is darker. His is lighter.
