It seems as though this thread has brought much demand for the RBC! Nobody is immune… even I want one very terribly now! And I’m not usually interested in newer\* throws. :thinking: \*_I know the RBC is not technically_ _ **new,** _ _but I’m sure you get what I mean._ ---

They are truly something unique and special. Something about the RBC feels very luxury yet familiar at the same time. It’s hard to explain, but the first time you throw one you’ll understand. ---

I’ll tell you what, now—I’d be a lucky man if I ever got the chance to throw one! I’m sure it’s a fine yo-yo indeed. ---

The first RBC I got I kept in my cart for so long until an old, now inactive, user convinced me to buy one. This is back when there was still multiple colors available on YYE. The first time I threw it I was like “ohhhhhh, now I get it”. ---

Quadrupled my Plasm count today. Now it’s time to decide on which ones get half swapped… ![PXL_20250520_021741599](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/d/c/7dcf3d1cd5c9830c846d9dbf410b9c31bc75c25f.jpeg) ---

Careful what you wish for… You probably wanted Ed or Jerrod or Seth or someone skilled to do some cool stuff with one, but instead you got some n00b adjusting string tension and doing a basic combo: [https://youtube.com/shorts/ndSil7cLfTQ?si=ycPMLuaVWWxlg5Le](https://youtube.com/shorts/ndSil7cLfTQ?si=ycPMLuaVWWxlg5Le) ---

I’m tempted to keep the red as-is and do a 3 way swap with the others, bumble bee, purple/yellow, and dark/purple. ---

I’ve always liked half-swaps specifically for 0A/Fixie tricks because it’s fun to visually see how the yoyo swaps around in play, and generally makes it kind of neat for stalls. In my opinion. 🙂 ---

My “Half Swap” was in person with a fellow Boomer Club Member. So special now. Others came from the factory that way, so are not considered half swap in my mind. They were meant to be that way. ---
