Man, I hope you have food set aside… because if you are like me. You will buy yo-yos until you only can afford rice and beans 
I was born a few years ahead of you (1984) so you came in when there was a little more potential. My mind had been blown lately with all the cool advancements!
Welcome!!! and hide your wallet!!!
Thanks for the welcome Matt!
Yeah, I hear you, Yo-yos > Food.
There really is no shortage in variety these days! It’s unbelievable how different each yo-yo behaves on the string, it really does make you dig deep into the pockets. But so worth it, gotta keep the passion alive 
I am a sucker for the iYoyo iceberg… the colors are so nice to me! Of course I a sucker for a bunch of other design s but the iceberg is my thing… of course, other brands do the bi color bimetal designs also…
I can totally see why you dig the Iceberg, amazing colour options and the reviews seem unanimously positive in the way it plays.
I haven’t had the pleasure of playing with an Iceberg (yet) but I have tried an alternative which appears very similar- The Mowl Surveil.
Check it out if you haven’t, the clear with the matte rainbow rims is really beautiful in person.
I would love to hear someone’s opinion on how the Iceberg compares with the Surveil in play.
If one has a Surveil is it worth getting an Iceberg and vice versa?
I haven’t tried the Surveil yet… good suggestion
Welcome to the forums! Glad that you have gotten back into it after 15 years. That cold fusion is quite a find!
I got both I can give them a comparison and get back to you when I got some time off from work. 
from what I remember they do play quite a bit different in their play feel then I expected.
Thanks Hanker. So great that a platform like this exists.
That would be really interesting Tobias, it would be really awesome to hear about the differences and which you find preferable or if they’re even comparable at all.
With the popularity and loyal following of the Ice Berg, I may need to give it a try after all.
Purely from a cool factor and feeling “special” Mowl is among my favourite brands.
I am curious too (rooting for the iceberg)
Hello folks,
Got back into throwing about 6 months ago after a lonnnng hiatus. This seems like a great community and stoked to be a part of it.
Welcome!!!
Welcome to the forums! Glad you’ve found your way back into the yoyo scene. Hope you’ll enjoy your stay here!
Hi, my name is Sam. I had yoyos when I was a kid and then bought a few newer ones in the 90s and now got interested in them again. I am OLD, but am just a rank beginner thrower. We didn’t have the Internet or access to videos when I was young. Now the web is full of them and apps make learning easily accessible. I only throw because I enjoyed it as a kid and now it gives my old hands something to do. Enjoy!
How old we got some old farts here!!
Name is Sam. I am 70… retired and old enough to do things that I enjoy. I don’t plan on being a master thrower like all of you younger peeps. But, I am going to try and have some fun.
I’ll be 56 in July. Welcome!
Well for the record, I am not a master thrower like many others. I just love to collect, invest, hoard, etc… I do plan to stop buying and start trying some actual tricks here and there. Breakaway was my hardest hurdle. Now I just sit there on the trapeze thinking, what next?
Thank you 
Is there a way to just pose a question without finding a topic?
Thats kinda the nice thing about this hobby. To me, it welcomes all throwers equally, if you just want to throw the yoyo up and down all day that’s no more or less of a yoyoer than someone like Gentry imo and I think this community really emphasizes that, which I love.
