I don’t think the are gonna run out anytime soon, havin over 400 😃 Anyways, it’s not that great of a yoyo. I bought 2 at DXL and did not like them. Protostar is your best bet. ---

Personally, I like it alot more then my friends Protostar, and play it more then any yoyo I own. More then my Peak, my yuuksta, my 888, my Dv888, and most of the time my Skywalker. It is just plain incredible for a plastic. Ive heard that the orange and black ones are textured, and grind, but mine doesnt grind at all. It is an awesome buy for $40, i must say. Only better throw in the price range would have to be the Hitman Pro, and I have no idea when they come out. ---

I know it’s all preference, but the reasons I did not like it: 1. Cheaply made - The first one I got, the cap broke off within minutes. However, the guys at the YYF booth were very kind to replace it for me. 2. Vibe - Now this might have just been mine, but mine vibed. ALOT. 3. Weight - It’s supposed to be heavier than the protosar. MY … Not even joking, it felt way too light. This is just my opinion, and if I ever get to owning one again, I may prove myself wrong.

People should refrain from making threads to insult yoyos that Yoyoexpert sells unless you can give a legitimate reason why. There is no reason to lie to the community, I have a Northstar and I love it. Many others do aswell. Paolo mains one. ---

There is no reason to lie to the community, I have a Northstar and I love it. Many others do aswell. Paolo mains one. I wasn’t insulting. I was simply stating my opinion. I apologize if it sounded that way. Also, I find it very interesting how many they purchased. That was really the main reason for this post. ---
