I was quite surprised since the Torrent was just dropped and was such a huge success. I thought for sure he was going to do another run, but Ernie, with excitement in his voice, told me differently. The new yo-yo was going to take what the Torrent did successfully and roll it into a new design. It was going to match up more with what people wanted, and was going to be sweeter than the floor in a Snickers Bar factory. I am excited to review for you and present the 5 Star by General-Yo.

Great review, I must say. It looks like you have been less objective and critic as in other reviews, or is it just a flawless yoyo? ---

Oh. I wanted to get one. It looks like a good shape, and it looks like it would be so smooth, and also fast. ---

I am absolutely depressed that I missed my window to get one of these. Something told me it was going to be special. And then they were sold out when I went to place the order. This review hits that home for me. For those of you lucky enough to own one, drop one extra trick before you put it away for the day. For me. ;D ---
