what highly contested drop have you gotten or missed? I would love to hear your stories and thoughts, try not to complain too much😉

The only contested drop that I got was the last a-rt peon drop, there were 7 of each color and I somehow copped a red

Not a complaint, nor a cool story, but I never really catch drops. They never line up for me. Is what it is.

I have participated in two drops. The Mk1 Exia (which I got) and the Duncan Freehand Aluminum that had Steve Brown and 5ayoyo stuff on it (which I missed because I hit refresh on accident–I had it in my cart too, which really stunk.) For me, if the drop is not advertised at least a week beforehand, I will not buy it because I do not impulse buy.

I’m not sure what qualifies as a “drop” here, and this certainly wasn’t highly contested. YYE did a midnight release of the OD Sugar Glider last May. My five year old knew how much I wanted one, and she loved the teal color. So, we agreed I would get one, set an alarm to order it, and the next morning she was excited I got it. (When it came she hid it until Father’s Day.) While I don’t know that they sold out right away, a few days later they were out of the teal. It ended up being a fun, memorable endeavor, and a throw special to me.

I have slowed buying down a lot, and, I tend to take the approach of waiting until a day or so after the release to try to buy. It helps keep my sanity not being in the game of who is faster at checking out, and, it is easy to justify not jumping on the hype train, and feeling good that I didn’t keep someone who really wanted a yoyo from getting a yoyo that I sort of wanted.

I like this way of thinking about it.

The only drops I try to get are stuff that I have planned ahead for and that I know will sell out fast

The YYN Peak drops were insane. I had a system that worked really well. I’d open a store page and put something in my cart, a couple Dif pads or something. I’d then go to the checkout page and do everything but the final submit. Then I’d open a new page and wait for the drop. I’d put the yoyo(s) in my cart and switch back to the other checkout page and hit submit. Even though the yoyo(s) weren’t showing on that page they were in my virtual cart. I’d have the purchase completed a couple seconds after the drop.

They’re still available unless you wanted a specific color (green+gold or clear+rainbow).

More on topic, I picked up a DK from a drop on A-RT’s site once. I purchased it by showing up at the perfect time and already being logged in to paypal.
