Mine was a Fireball back in the 90s. Coming back into yoyo a couple of years ago my first modern yoyo was a magicyoyo v3. I regret giving it away lol ---

Back in the mid-/late 90s you couldn’t really get any brand name yoyos where I lived in the UK so I had a bunch of just knock off yomega brain type yoyos. But the first decent yoyo I remember getting was a Peter Fish Luminator. ![peter-fish](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/1/a/81abdff50819a5318d83c250358479d4a6f25880.jpeg) sadly some kid at my school opened it up and lost the guts ☹ ---

Technically it was a blue Duncan Butterfly I had in elementary school, but honestly I didn’t understand it that much at the time. When I “officially” started the hobby early 2020, I picked up the Fizz and the Sage and was on those for about a month or two until I started collecting more, haha! ---

Duncan professional. I think that’s why I love slimline yo-yos. I miss that profile. I really want a rbc (guts and gap) with the outside profile of the professional. Id like to have one made by OD. I wonder if I could pay them to make me a custom? ---

Pops gave me his old chewed up purple Duncan Imperial after I’d seen the yoyo pitch at school (4th or 5th grade?). Couple weeks later I took some yard cuttin’ money to the little toy store downtown and bought this Spintastics Tornado Terminator! ![20220204_143133](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/7/4/f74475f67e24b60003e34d7c91ccd4bc9ef8b3bd.jpeg) ---

Wow, so glad I looked it up. I was about to reply “Don’t you mean Racers?” All this time I thought it was the Racers. Racers (still can’t call it anything but that) were my favorite until I finally got the courage for the Thunderbolt. We moved to North Carolina in 86, and at that time it was the Laser Loop that all the other kids in class loved. I never got it though, personally was board with it.
