Ed, that 7 times down 8 times up Blackbird throw, a buddy just pointed me to it. I have a butterfly and imperial Blackbird already, may I ask your impressions on the new one, I am considering getting it.

I ordered one the other day. Can’t wait! Was on the nose on getting a blackbird (another yoyo I wanted as a kid but never pulled the trigger). Feel like if I love my Apollo, I’m gonna love this.

Woke up this morning and they are sold out, I definitely should have trusted my instincts and picked it up last night, but someone else got it, and that will make them happy, and that makes me happy. And it’s not like I don’t already have a blessing of yoyos.

Those went quicker than I thought they would, maybe Brad will make more seeing that there is a demand. A lot of the other stock has been sitting for years.

I hope he does. Put one in the cart (with a pocket rocket) early yesterday, got distracted by work, tried to check out when I got home last night and they were out of stock already.

Damn.. I was hoping they would last longer. Seeing as it sounds like these were dead stock that got brought back to life I imagine the limited run was serious….

Forgive my ignorance, so were these just regular BC butterfly Blackbirds with a different paint job?
I don’t say that in any way negative towards the yoyo, if true, that is still awesome, the Blackbird is a fantastic yoyo, in both the Imperial and Butterfly shape (I’m more partial to No.19 though lol, so if this is a dolled up No 19 that’s very cool, and I don’t feel as bad for missing it since I have one.)

My understanding is it’s new old stock so yeah. Most likely won’t see this specific drop again…

The minute Ed posted about the release in the fixed axle discord I immediately bought one. Couldn’t pass up a limited fixie drop!
