I finally completed my Custom Products MAG collection! These were created in the late 90s and discontinued in 2013-2014.
In theory per the yo-yo wiki
Series 1
Series 2
Series 3
5-star
Avenger
Stiletto
Cyko
Predator
Turbine
… only the two “newest” releases, the Stiletto and Turbine are supposed to have silicone response pads, but oddly enough, the Predator also does:
The Avenger has no pads, it relies entirely on friction and a narrow gap. All are the newer (for MAG anyway) Size A bearing.
They still play great, though the three with response pads are more consistent and reliable as you’d expect.

For completeness here’s what the Series 1 looks like
Cyko
5-Star
I kind of intentionally avoided these as I wanted the newer ones instead.

They look great. What are the prices like on these nowadays?

The series 3 old stock are still available in certain places on the web – including at Custom Products themselves – and you can also get the Avenger. $50.
They are solid players, but honestly nothing you can’t get elsewhere at this point… however if you like cutouts in your yo-yos, this is one of the few games in town
