This one got me laughing so hard 
I’m sure the new 888’s are fine, though I was definitely hoping to see some of those old designs come back-- they’re so beautiful. 
I hear they play great, and are true to the early designs

Is that so? too bad it’s out of the Christmas budget. 
they are ok. it is not easy to explain. but new ver still lack soul that the old 888 have. it is dead, but plays alright. you couldn’t tell difference if you not already spend 10 year with a real 07 888. I have 10 OG 888, and the new cheap one
I can close my eyes and tell difference between 07 888 and new chinese 07 888 clone very easy when play ,one play warm like comfy soft hug, other is sterile like hospital fluorescent light.
I hope this is easy to understand.

I can see that, darn shame too. the old ones are so expensive!
You should try the new one before you look to spend way more on an original, I really think if it’s anything at all like my ‘10 you will like it. Don’t dismiss it because a few collectors say it just isn’t the same because it’s not imbued with magic. If you shoot for the moon and get a precious historical artifact of a 2007 888 you will be afraid to throw or carry it. Get a new one and it can go with you carefree.
You ding an antique and part of you dies inside, you ding a modern release widely available, now it’s got part of you in it. You can put your own “soul” into your yoyo, not the one you are caretaking for before it gets to its new collector.
