Hi everyone, I was looking for an organic yo-yo on the cheaper side and was going to pick up the Throwbacks Arcade. Do you like it and/or recommend it? If not are there some others at a similar price point?

I really like mine.
I donât play it much anymore - Iâm not big into organics. But itâs a good throw for the price.
I would say its a great transition yoyo. Something to get you started in unresponsive. Fun to play and learn on. But more of a stepping stone.
As you aquire new/better yoyos, I feel it will take a back seat.
Have fun.
Thanks, I already have some great yo-yos, so mainly wanted the arcade for just a fun one.
The Arcade is the only yo-yo Iâve ever bought that I just plain did not like. And after playing more organics I realized it wasnât that I dislike organics at all. I just found the Arcade completely underwhelming in every way. I would buy any other organic if you want an organic⌠Even something lame like a Yomega Maverick.
But thatâs just my opinion, and theyâre like that other thing everyone has.
A âFunâ yoyo along these lines is the smaller version. The Snack. I have mine set up responsive, but a fun âlittleâ throw.
I also like the MK1 Dynames. It is about twice the cost, but I enjoy it more than the Arcade.

I actually got a snack recently and I LOVE it. So fun to carry around. Thanks for the suggestions 
There isnât much thatâs cheaper than the Arcade. But there are lots of other options.

i have an arcade, and the most I can say about it is itâs a good beginner yoyo if youâre learning those intermediate to advanced tricks and want a metal upgrade. the fingerspin dimple is nonexistent, but itâs a compact lil guy thatâs more powerful than it looks. you canât get much cheaper, but im sure the price reflects the performance
I just got the Ann BubĂĄk version of the Uppercut. The design is great. Plays lighter while out-spinning some of my favorites.
$34.99 for the solids.
