Yeah I was so impressed! I have to get one now
Well, my month with the Qilin is nearly up so itās time to send it along to the next lucky player!
Here are the rules so you donāt have to scroll up the thread:
Iāll send the Qilin to the next person to post āIāll take itā here in this thread! (DMs donāt count, itās gotta be posted in the thread to keep everything fair.) Contiguous 48 U.S. states only please.
HOWEVER, by accepting the yoyo, you are only allowed to keep it for about a month and then will be responsible for posting a post similar to this one, in this thread, and also for shipping the Qilin on to itās next destination.
So letās get the next stage of the Quilinās travel rolling! An eternal curse on the player who breaks the chain!
Cotton
Noooooo!!! U.S only ?!?
Iāll take it!
Dammit! Missed out.
Been on the hunt for a Qilin and I barely missed out
maybe next month.
Or maybe Iāll just find one
Got the package in the mail today, thanks Cotton! Looking forward to spending some quality time in the park tomorrow with these two beauties.

At first I wasnāt a huge fan of the Qilin, it took me a bit to warm up to it. But itās smooth and does fingerspins nicely with a little noodle-fingering! Itās a bit too V-shaped for me, Iāve found I prefer more of an H shape in general. But after getting some time in on it I enjoyed itās play quite a bit.
And as for the Knockout? Well, I liked it so much that I ordered one for me very own.
But enough of the frivolities, hereās the part that everyoneās been waiting for!
The first person to post āIāll take itā HERE IN THIS THREAD (DMs donāt count) will receive this excellent Rebellion Qilin and itās faithful brawler companion the Knockout in the mail! Contiguous U.S. states only please.
THE CATCH IS, you may only keep the pair of yoyos for up to a month, after which you must post a post similar to this one in this thread, offering up the yoyo to the next person to say āIāll take itā, and cover the cost of shipping the yoyos to their next recipient.
So let the game continue, and a curse on the player who breaks the chain!
Ivan
The knockout is so good
I know right! Iām not sure why either. Itās not very smooth, itās not the shape that I usually like, itās a little challenging on the fingerspin and thumb grind and scratches up my thumbnail to boot, but itās just got this fun vibe (pun intended) that leads to me reaching for it more often than I think is warranted. I just like it for no reason.
Ivan
yeah Idk what it is either. Just feels very nice on the stringā¦ I wonder if something happened to the one in this thread. When I had the red knockout it was very smooth.
Yes, I gotta correct myself. The one with the Qilin is very smooth with just a hint of vibe, the one that I ordered has a definite fingernail vibe that is also detectable on grinds, but it doesnāt detract from how fun the throw is to play for some reason. Itās like it feels alive or something.
From what Iāve seen in threads and YT vids, the KO is somewhat inconsistent in the amount of vibe from one yoyo to the next so some have more than others, itās the luck of the draw.
Ivan
Well, the QC has to take a hit when theyāre selling the KO at only $50, and itās a bimetal which makes it one of the cheapest bimetals on the market. Surprisingly cheap for a signature yoyo.
I agree! I didnāt mean to sound like I was complaining, just pointing out that a variance in the amount of vibe seems to be the norm for this model. I have other, smoother throws but the KO is the one Iāve been reaching for as a carry piece or practicing tricks in my room. Itās fun but with a challenging edge that makes me feel accomplished when I get a new trick down on it.
Lots of personality in this throw. And for fifty bucks at that!
Ivan
This pair of throws is still available folks, nobodyās claimed the next place in the game yet!
Hereās a repeat of the rules so you donāt have to scroll up:
The next person to say āIāll take itā HERE IN THIS THREAD (DMās donāt count) will be the next to receive this smooth and powerful Rebellion Qilin and itās faithful and rowdy companion, the YYF K.O.!
Contiguous U.S. states only please!
BUT HEREāS THE CATCH: You may only keep the yoyos for about a month. After that you will be responsible for posting another post in this thread similar to this one, and covering the shipping cost to send the yoyos to the next lucky recipient.
So post below and be the next destination for this traveling duo! Eternal knuckle-busting snags to the player who breaks the chain!
Ivan
If no one claims it, maybe @jeduardo can send it to one of his clubs or throwers that heās helping.
Bumpity bump! Who wants to spend Christmas with these beauties?
Ivan
Ya canāt tell me that nobody wants to try out some sick throws and sample some new strings here! This is still available!
Ivan
Iāll take this one also! Save some shipping why not.
You got 'em, DM sent! Iāll still send them in separate boxes as oneās a two-week turnaround and the otherās a one-month so you might want to send them out separately when the time comes.
Ivan
Props to @craZivn for packaging ingenuity! Everything arrived today safe and sound.
Unfortunately, on my second throw one of the pads pulled away from the Qilin. Iāll pop in the Mowl pads that were in the box though and give these two a good chunk of the coming month. Looking forward to it!
