If you want to get a new throw go with MYY now, and save your money for the mystery box in November.
Then you can get several throws for a great price and try them all out.
Yep, what he said, definitely most ture statement here
Working with them was a really interesting experience. I think a big thing is that they don’t understand what customers want. And part of that is a cultural thing too. In many parts of Asia, if its cheap and good it will sell well. They don’t necessarily care about the process of how it was made or the story behind it - so companies don’t bother showing it.
It worked well with the Skyva because I handled that. All I did was show what they didn’t think the customers care about - how its done and where it comes from. And also design the damn thing lol.
We (North Americans) care more about where our money goes to. If I want to buy a brand new yoyo I don’t always just look at price - I look at who I am giving that money to. Are they good people? Do they give back to the community? A lot of companies don’t understand or know that people like us exist. So they try to cut their profit margins down and make the best possible product then wonder why it doesn’t sell.
All in all - Magicyoyo is run by good diverse group of people. The owner and staff are very friendly. This can’t be said for all companies in Asia.

The N12 Shark is an amazing yoyo, not just for the price, but it’s just a great yoyo.
The Silencer is also really nice. Although it took a while for me to learn to like it. Now that I’ve played with it more I like it a lot. But the N12 was immediately fun to play with.
The Skyva looks great and I can’t wait to get one.
The Stealth also looks great and I also can’t wait to get one.
The K8 was awful. So it seems to be dependent upon the model. The newer models (Stealth, Skyva, N12) seem to be really good.
Many thanks for all the replies and help.
I’ve picked up a N12 and a Purple Line recently as well and I’m really digging them a lot. I agree with the K8. Mine showed up OK and I cleaned the bearing and lubed it out when I got it (it looked like it had been sitting around awhile) and its just OK.
I’m glad to know they’re a decent company who is doing good things. I’ve really liked 5 out of 7 Yo-Yos that I’ve purchased from them, and the other 2 were fine.
I’m coming from an experience in playing, building and modding guitars, so for me, if I get a cheap yo-yo and have to pull it apart, clean it, set it up a certain way or change something to take it from kinda crummy to pretty good, I don’t find it to be a bother. I like to experiment with things like that. I’ve been approaching yo-yos the way I approach guitars. I want a bunch of them for different reasons. I don’t play blues on a metal guitar and I don’t play metal on blues guitars. I feel like Yo-yo’s are the same way. If I’m having trouble catching a trick or mount, I won’t practice on a small gap throw. If I’m having trouble hitting the yo-yo off of strings I don’t want it to hit, I’ll grab something smaller. I also have little kids who think yo-yo is just awesome, and I want enough to share.
I’m hoping around Christmas time, I’ll feel like I’m good enough to warrant spending $50-$75 on a pro level throw. That’s not to say that I don’t think the MagicYoyos are awesome and fun, because I do and I like that they’re inexpensive enough for me to throw around downtown and not worry about what happens to them because they cost about what a decent lunch would cost.
I have a Stealth now. As said, this a go to Yoyo instead of $100 plus yoyo’s. I have a 2Sick Blitz which retails over $100. I would much rather throw the Stealth. It is a stable fun throw. Definitely worth the $50 for a bi-metal.
There’s another mystery box?
Officially, not that I know of.
But they have done it for the last couple years, so I’m hoping.
Really? Cool! ;D
Guess what I like to build when I have time?
Careful, we’re dangerously close to a thread hijack here. 
I want that white Tele
