They were stolen. The tracking info showed that the package had been delivered to our building’s mail center and after a few weeks of searching we discovered some of the yoyos being sold on eBay. So we contacted police, explained the situation, and before we knew it our yo-yos were wrapped up as key evidence in a court case. [http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/general-yo-m10-1.png](http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/general-yo-m10-1.png) [http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/general-yo-m10-2.png](http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/general-yo-m10-2.png) It took 2 whole years, but the case is finally closed! The evidence has been released back to us and we added a fresh new engraving to help tell the story. This is the General Yo M10 EVIDENCE! [http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/general-yo-m10-3.png](http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/general-yo-m10-3.png) [http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/general-yo-m10-4.png](http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/general-yo-m10-4.png) [http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/general-yo-m10-5.png](http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/general-yo-m10-5.png) [http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/general-yo-m10-6.png](http://yoyoexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/general-yo-m10-6.png) The M10 is a competitive yo-yo players dream. It has a rim heavy weight distribution and wide stance that gives this yo-yo a rock stable feel in play and powerful spin off the throw. With the angled yet comfortable profile, the M10 moves as fast as you can push it and the bumped gap gives you that extra edge in horizontal play. Finished with the signature General Yo blast and some cool engravings! ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/0/a/60a85e31b60fac94ebfaf700617f070255a5e83e.png) This release may be a couple years late, but if you like a good story with your yo-yo you won’t find a better one than the M10 EVIDENCE! > **[General Yo](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/general-yo)** > > Made in the USA, General-Yo creates high end metal yo-yos machined to the highest standards for the smoothest spins possible. ---

I’m so hype for this. I’ve never gotten a General Yo, but I’ve always wanted one. The story behind these is too cool. ---

These look so cool. I would have never considered picking up a general yo until getting a prestige in a trade. ---

I’d love to have one of these just for the story behind it and as an addition to my collection. But I just can’t rationalize spending $100 on a yoyo right now. Not at my skill level. Whoever gets these will have an interesting little bit of history though. ---

Not only is there an interesting story to these…but I have at least one of every yoyo Ernie has made and the Model 10 is my absolute favorite…It is one of those “special” yoyo’s that feel and play like NOTHING else! ---

> [@Zorro](#): > > Does anyone else think that the Pink Moon looks exactly like a Jack Rabbit colorway? Yeah, probably used the same anodizer or something. Been noticing overlaps between different companies’ colorways a lot more often recently, probably just because of how few good anodizer a there are, and how cool some of their designs are. ---

Pretty stoked to get mine i read a lot of really great things about it. After a few BST purchases lately i think that i’ve become a General-Yo fan boy. ;D Recent General-Yo Purchases include: Prestige Enthos Prophecy Essence All of which are amazing in there own way. You guys keep up the amazing work! ---

I always try to avoid doing anything like other makers. That makes sense. I designer a colorway in my mind for my company to use in the future, but it ended up being exactly like another CLYW colorway. ---
