I’m not sure how long it took. After my order had went through, there were still about 25 of each color left. Then again it only took me 3 minutes to complete my purchase. 😃 I checked about an hour later, and they were all gone. ---

Have you received your confirmation mail yet? I did check out and when back to check there were about 20 left for 3 colors except green so I’m not whether my order got through. ---

Yep. I received my conformation email seconds after I completed checkout. You may want to contact YYE about your order status. ---

Aww it’s been hours since I received any confirmation email. After I check out I was still able to quite a number of yetis still available. Thanks though, will send them an email. ---

I’ve never thrown one, but it seems like they are the “Stairway to Heaven” of the yoyo world. Good AND over hyped. ---

I’m looking forward to the yeti. I’ve bought a ton of string, bearings, pads, etc. from the store, but the yeti was my first retail purchase since the General-Yo Prestige in October 2013, 2 years ago. I’m excited for this one 🙂 ---

My order did get through, but its on the way to my friends house over at the U.S. Gonna have to trouble them to send to me instead. Shipping of 40$ to my country could almost get me another Yeti. 😢 Nonetheless still glad that I was able to grab one. ---

In my experience, its overhyped. The one i got chews up string like no other- its weighted like a brick. A smooth brick nonetheless, but a brick. ---

The Yeti is really great. One of my all time favorite plastic yoyos, I own a few of them. However, at the same time they are over hyped by a lot of people. ---

I tried the yeti at NER and it is a good plastic, but I DO NOT see the hype behind it AT ALL. Then if you add that it eats string unlike anything else and some other things, it does not even come close to other less than $50 plastics, such as the regen, white hole, and replay pro. Waaaaaaaaay overhyped ---

They are definitely nice throws. Can’t you see? Say cheese Yetis. [https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5827/23286553416\_cf82233e32\_z.jpg](https://flic.kr/p/BtKF3h)[YetiFamily](https://flic.kr/p/BtKF3h) by [Total Artist](https://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/), on Flickr ---

Overhyped, but a decent throw! Excited to see the revamped version whenever it comes out! 😃 ---

the yeti definitely isn’t the best plastic out there, in my opinion, it’s the yyr diffusion. The rally is also really good. The yeti just has a strange but pleasant feel to it that you really can’t describe. My friend got a light blue one, and I played with it for 6 hours. It wasn’t nearly as great as people make it out to be, but it’s a really fun throw [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/is-the-yeti-really-that-great-of-a-yoyo-or-is-it-over-hyped/77667.md?page=1)
