What started as a joint in the parking lot and one of those “man wouldn’t it be cool if…” conversations with my buddy Damon has solidified into this. A commemorative yo-yo for Lloyd Center Mall, where our club Shrimpgang PDX has been meeting in the winter for years. This Saturday is what will likely be our last meet in that big ol’ food court before it is demolished for redevelopment. I bought 40 dead stock Spintastics Terminators from 1997, disassembled all of them, designed and printed stickers for the caps and inserts for the packaging, individually stuck and trimmed every sticker and insert by hand, reshaped the plastic packaging, and put them all back together. The cap art is inspired by the OG Team Losi Grim Sleeper. Printed by the best in Portland, Press Play Print Co. If you want one, come to Lloyd Center on Saturday and bring $10. ![Screenshot 2026-03-27 093535](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/b/5/ab5c49afccbf064efe7e7f6d10944eac4e70eed1.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2026-03-27 093550](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/3/c/13c402381e97f698e4ec41df1158ad40d38de981.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2026-03-27 093618](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/c/9/ac91042a5c1117f6c5f1002d32121cfdc22a17ec.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2026-03-27 093629](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/6/2/5626540cfd62802f757ab43d65ae93d1698ffd82.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2026-03-27 093642](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/5/d/35d706adb5052b5dfa9febc90c9a042c7cb68540.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2026-03-27 093657](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/3/f/e3f532fd723fa7e5413ce4b25e16758c5610e694.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2026-03-27 093710](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/b/5/9b54220842fda5b1dacbd51a219b646851c3d07f.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2026-03-27 093721](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/0/0/d0022d3a04a1c9218c5de065ff6a9d083f987d46.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2026-03-27 093730](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/d/0/ed0ece6456a06b13d084318475c3da74aaa3a4d6.jpeg) ---
