Interesting. I know they have the classic in 2011 also, ive seen it with the splash pattern. Though in almost every post ive seen with these and previous ones for sale people said they were a 2009 classic release. I think yoyoexpert might have removed the post/blog but I swear there was one in 2009 when they posted about these and said there were about 30 left in stock at the time of the post. Maybe Ben can confirm what year these were made. Edit: The original YYE post was removed but there’s still a post back in 2009 during its release: > [@ocho8ocho](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/ocho8ocho/3246): > > check it out! link: [www.yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyofactory/888/](http://www.yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyofactory/888/) its here! pauls signature yoyo, so far, only out on yoyoexpert, as far as i know, so far theres 24 left! special edition! keep yoing wink --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/new-champions-888/383313)._
