I was sorting through my ‘large’ yo-yo forest. And… ‘Hey, what’s that’? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/2/0/a20c93acdaf855c354f6b88cae53d3762bdc7c81.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/7/0/470481a02d72d64e839b884023962cd3637abaff.jpeg) New in container. Don’t even know how long I’ve had it? I found an original raw Steamroller also. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/c/f/1cf2010cec6e8222e4c216111a1a3b033db1eba3.jpeg) … I hear about the Sumo but not much about the Plug-in. …and while I’m taking phone pics. I also found what I was actually looking for. A very old mod of mine. A Playmaxx Stunt Pilot machined for click fit polished Viper hubs and weight rings. Geez, an old mod for sure. Obviously I know the history of this one😉 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/a/6/8a6c3dc4d9c7086b69a90e5a52e9eec0d4151797.jpeg) Looks like I found something else👀 A few Powdercoated Limited Edition Cold Fusions. Standard and GT. My novice level imaging doesn’t really do justice to how Amazing these yoyos look in person. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/b/5/ab50930b450a2dc385dea1840e1280bb9e867967.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/b/8/7b84899bd64c09a588fe8d38f15e350e8f38dd52.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/d/4/cd44b8b2732c575ed1c5722035ef1b3ce7dcbcfd.jpeg) ---

Loved the colors on the OG plug-in’s. They had a special coating that you could dye with a teflon inner but just didn’t seem that popular because of the Vibe. Absolutely beautiful throw though and then you had the 1.1 followed by the 3. There was a run of baby blue proto 3’s and then the production run that didn’t seem to really get sold anywhere in the USA from what I remember. Thought the schmoove response system was neat though. Might have luck asking Niubi on facebook since he ran brokenyoyos. ---
