Hi Folks, I will be running a pay-it-forward Mk1 Yoyos box with a couple of recent designs that I enjoy. This is a fun opportunity to try a bunch of new yoyos at once, especially if you haven’t tried many Mk1 yoyos. - Mk1 x YYFr Heron - Mk1 x Jckpth Laze - Mk1 x LotR Ring-Bearer - Mk1 Penumbra ![IMG_0812](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/1/3/f139d7f0189cfc35f8e844cd52663a0862e622cc.jpeg) The box will be a 6x6x6" and will weigh about 1lb 4oz, so expect shipping costs to be approximately $10 if purchased online, and maybe up to $20 if purchased at the post office. If this is too much for folks, I’ll change this box to just two yoyos instead (Heron and Penumbra), in which case it will be about half the weight, and half the price to ship. _Poll ([view on site](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/pay-it-forward-mk1-yoyos/443977/1))_ **Rules** **Post your Feedback thread** to to enter, and I will strongly prefer people who I’ve heard of and have been around the forums for a long time **Duration per person** : 3 weeks max after receiving the box Please maintain the yoyos in **nice** condition **US Only** : This keeps postage costs reasonable. I’m not aware of a good way to allow global shipping for a PiF like this without someone eating the extra cost. If you cannot reliably ship this package to the next person within the time frame, please do not sign up. Post an update in the thread when get the box and when you ship to the next person. Thank you! After enough time has passed where people want different yoyos or there isn’t enough interest, I’ll recall the box and swap things out. ---

I forgot to mention, it’s simpler and cheaper if this PiF stays within the US for the time being, since postage + tariffs can make mailing this around a lot more expensive and time consuming, and I don’t want to pin that on people by chance. ---

So far I’ve played the Laze and Penumbra. Both are very very fun! Penumbra is bouncy and spins forever. The Laze is so pretty, very chill, plays on the lighter side 🙂 [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/pay-it-forward-mk1-yoyos/443977.md?page=2)
