Yikes, I was kidding on the 50-70 but realistically I’d pay 70-90.
I don’t recall what the retail price is going to be, or if it was even discussed. I can tell you protos were a little higher than that, which is to be expected.
I’d be pretty surprised if it comes in under a hundred, BUT! it’s worth every penny, imo.
I spent a lot (for me) for the first two proto runs, and I don’t regret a single cent. And the first proto is completely unplayable now, because I dropped it 
still no regrets.
The second run is much stronger and way less prone to irreversible damage. I’ve been beating mine up pretty good and it still plays like a dream.

This is why they will not sellout fast. Which is normal for any yoyo release.

I voted “NO”, because I am not looking to collect YoYos, I care more about learning to play and I still voted, to help in giving an honest picture of the demand for Glen. I admire his work and he is the Yoyo artisan in my view. No front to Glen.

I love to bind regen, and with the MR85, I bet it’s killer

Maybe if there were a pif to get in on for a prototype to get a feel for it I’d be more willing to commit. I’m mostly interested in how it would be with the new bearing size. For now I reckon I’ll have to let it pass.

It really, truly is!
And I haven’t found another yoyo that has as satisfying of a roll down/wind up as the lemon. I think oasis probably comes closest, but it’s not really that close. The MR85 is just really something special.
Think about it, the bearing is the typical diameter of a fixed axle, just much wider and faster. Binds and regens are like a dream. Perfection!

That’s valid. It’s looking like a few might sit for awhile, so hopefully anyone that isn’t fully on board, right now, will still get their chance. I assure you, it’s one you don’t want to miss. (Or maybe you do, I suppose not everyone has to love it. I certainly do though)

All I can say is if you are into smaller organic yoyos, this is definitely for you.

You just described exactly what I like in a yoyo… I don’t have much interest in using anything but small organic yoyos.

Speaking for myself, I am and it is.
I don’t have anything else that could be a substitute, and I have several anything else’s (most of which I think would be improved by this bearing).

I couldn’t have said it better, myself. Nothing compares.

I just hope upon release after a few people have tried it, word might get around that its worth a purchase.

Scratch the potential Dead Orse I inquired about if you haven’t made one for me yet, and I will definitely be picking up a Lemon when it hits retail.
(If you have made me a Dead Orse already though, I’ll be a man of my word and follow through, it’ll involve me quickly selling some yoyos though lol )
I am so sold dude, thank you

I’m screaming it at the top of my lungs, but I think you’re right. It’s going to take more than just me and the few others who have been singing its praises.
They’ll find out, soon enough.

I’d tell more people, but all my yoyo friends already know about it and all my non-yoyo friends [two (2)] couldn’t care, nor would they understand why the SWFL is so amazing.
