I fully admit this is somewhat embarrassing, but I have a lot of yoyos, and I made a lot of trades (over 100 at least on YYN alone) so I kind of forget what a few of my yoyos are now that Im getting back into things. I have a few that if I could access YYN forums, I could look up what they are.
I can take more pics if people are curious (especially guts pics) and cant pin them down.
most of these are from 2006-2010
lets start top row, left to right:
The top left, blue one is a yoyo that was pretty popular, but it was custom anodized and so I have no idea what it is anymore.
next over red/gold, no markings. I remember I bought it new from YYN.
next over the blue yoyo, its the same as the black one under it.
next is what I believed to be an Oxygene, but it has a flat nipple on it, so im at a loss.
bottom row:
far left, once Im told what this is, itll be a “DOH!” moment.
green yoyo same deal.
black is same as the blue
tiny metal yoyo. my college girlfriend bought me this. I cannot remember what the heck it is.
Row 1 yoyo 1 is a candy blasted yyf OG California I believe. It’s that or a yyf VK that was candy blasted. Candy blast was done by ILYY. I have one that is orange.
Row 1 yoyo 3 and row 2 yoyo 3 are Any Yo Excaliburs.
Row 2 yoyo 1 looks to be a ILYY E1NS but it has a screw hole in it that’s visible in the cup. Is it possible you bought a prototype from Dom or Frank? That’s likely where you got the California that is candy blasted.
Row 2 yoyo 2 is a ILYY wasabi. Probably the first version based on everything else you have.
You are spot on. Its all coming back to me. Talk about nailing it. I remember trading for the proto e1ns, the wasabi, and the blasted california. I think it was Dom. Super nice guys if I recall.
Ty for the help, I remember why I love this community
Haha thanks, Ill have to post up what remains of my collection at some point. I sold off half of my collection (50 or so yoyos) near end of college when I needed the money. I kept the ones I played the most.
I had some cool stuff too. 24k Gold Pyro, TiPhiters, duncan MG, the original Difeyo orbiter, the first yoyos from Anti-Yo and a lot of prototypes and customs. My fav custom was a Zzzip-fly I had frank himself combine with a YYJ Hitman because why not, right?
