i remember when anti-yo released the eetsit and bapezilla - the anod. was ‘top secret’. there was a running joke that it had to deal with a part of sonny’s body…i think i remember that right 😃 mgodzilla rain… ---

I just copped an advanced scout to see just how close to chief it is and it still isn’t quite a chief! I’d love to see the whole collection some day if you ever snag a photo. Chief remains for me as well. Akita is right there for me too though, it just doesn’t have that decade nostalgia but it does have allll that float! ---

I felt like the advanced scout was so close to the chief I sold mine. Surprised you thought it was that different. What version of the chief did you have because they range from like 64-67 grams. ---

I have a couple chiefs. the one it felt most different to was a 2010 28stories which I think was 1g lighter I’m not sure. It is a nominal difference like i threw them back to back in different way to try and tell a difference. Only keeping the Adv Scout bc it’s clear and I have a small clear collection going. It’s basically my clear chief lol. the inner rim is also noticably less protruding out of the Adv Scout than the Chief. Fun factz ---

> [@Yoyo//Sold \> but check out the Beautiful pics🙀](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/yoyo-sold-but-check-out-the-beautiful-pics/339491): > > Selling this recycled HDPE unresponsive I made the other day. It plays very well and has a unique feel, almost like a wooden unresponsive, but much more ‘stable’. It can be turned to be fairly smooth. The yoyo has some slight marks on the rims that are not easily seen but can be felt. This is not play damage, but from mounting it on my lathe whan I was making it. They don’t interfere with play in any way. You will notice when you tighten it that the halves can still be turned once it is tighte… Thought this needed to be mentioned (Even if it isn’t an ano) ---

Advanced Scout and Scout are close but not the same, of course. Chief’s weight is all over the place. I did weigh a selection of them for someone once upon a time. 65-68g. I’m not a huge fan of CLYW bi-metals other than the Igloo, Blizzard and Wildfire. I stuck some photos up on the CLYW collection thread. ---

I could almost kick myself for not getting that anodization of the Koi, but I bought a shutter with a galaxy splash just hours before seeing it. I decided to wait overnight on getting it and when I woke up the 3 left were gone. ---
