I was discussing this with a friend and he threw out the notion of a Torrent 3 (basically a rerelease of the Torrent 2.) Obviously as a General yo fanatic I love the idea. I feel like it would do very good as the rerelease of the Hatrick and 5 star were extremely well received and sold out relatively quickly. I acknowledge I could very well be biased though on the subject. If any fans or non fans could throw out their thoughts on the subject, I’d love to hear it. If not thoughts on a Torrent 3, what do you feel is something that would be very well received from this brand? ---

> [@kretzschmar](#): > > I was discussing this with a friend and he threw out the notion of a Torrent 3 Said friend chiming in here! :joy: I think even being as unbiased as I can possibly be and looking at the facts, a Torrent III release makes a lot of sense, here’s why: - Most of the Torrent II’s were B grade, so having a run of primarily A grades would be nice - There was only one run of Torrent II’s and it was pretty small - It’s been 11ish years since the Torrent II’s were made, making any existing ones harder to find - The resurgence in popularity of organic yoyos the past couple years would almost guarantee its success… I don’t think it would’ve been the right time to release it 5-7 years ago, but now is prime time since there is a real demand for that shape - The Torrent is itself is now a classic, so a new run would give players a chance to try a legendary yoyo they otherwise wouldn’t be able to really find I have zero doubts that a blasted Torrent III in some of the classic General Yo colorways would sell like crazy. I know sales numbers has never ever been the goal of @the_general, but I can imagine getting a modern version of a coveted classic in the hands of newer players would reignite the love for some of these other General Yo gems. ---

To answer your well-received question, I think a new model designed in a similar vein to the old models. Instead of rereleasing another Hatrick, Five Star, Essence, etc., a new model that fits the same organic family. AS you guys have mentioned, organics have made a resurgence in the last couple years and a brand new organic General-Yo with the original engravings and such I imagine would sell like hotcakes. ---

Been getting requests for Torrent 2’s, got a run of those in motion. Was thinking of a new organic, got a good idea in mind. ---

Just out of curiosity fellow fans of the General yo, what colors do you think would make the Torrent 2 pop the most? I personally loved the look of the Prestige 2 that was done by Gruntbull. If course you have the traditional blue from the OG and they light pink, gold and silver from the first Torrent 2 run. Thoughts of anything that would make an already amazing yoyo shine? ---

I believe there was a KLR done by Gruntbull that had little squares in a fade pattern. Personally that’s one of my favorite designs on any throw. ---
