Who else got one of these remakes? Im just gobsmacked by how good these are! Perfect weight, shape, size, glass smooth, just wonderful! SO glad I was able to snag one. Not getting rid of this one! No way!! Stunning ly pretty and plays like a dream.
My box did come in super smashed, and i was worried about the contents. While everything was smushed inside the box too, including the yoyo box itself, the throw was pristine.
I got #36 of 50. What number did you get? What are your thoughts?
I really wanted the mechabapezilla when it first came out last year. Looked really nice, specs wise and I donāt normally care for the box-art but Iāve got to say that the presentation on this yoyo in particular looked the bees knees.
At the time I couldnāt get one so I let it pass. Then the Mechavizilla came out looking equally fantastic but was also more dear, so I gave that a miss too.
I then saw the scales OG version Elvin put up for auction and it looked like the best version of it to date. I didnāt stand a chance at the auction so I prayed to the mighty throw gods that heād do a OG run and thankfully they were listening.
I made sure to pick one of the OGs up and it doesnāt disappoint.
Itās actually a b-grade with a slight blemish behind the irg and slight fingernail vibe. Despite that, itās just a fantastic yoyo. I know some people said it felt a little heavy, but I think the smaller size works well with the weight and the finish is beautiful. The anodised titanium leaves a nice temporary patina when it comes into contact with your skin. Iām really glad I held out for the OG version.
@yoyodoc, are you talking about the Tom Kuhn collaboration or is my other kidney going up on eBay for something else?
Iāve owned all the RSO yoyos other than the mini bowl, the einstein and mecha are my clear favorites. Einstein wins my vote by a nose. I like the yweti enough to keep it, which says a lot since my scorn for the ywet is well know, but it doesnāt begin to compete with the others.
I really canāt wait to see what @yoyodoc is teasing. I better stock up on duct tape. Every time Iāve tried a yoyo based on his praise, Iāve found that he was understating the case. If that bimetal is yet another thing, then I better be getting my poor wallet ready.
Bought one of these on a very expensive whim. Almost immediately regretted it, I was worried I bought an overpriced copy of an overhyped yo-yo from a decade ago.
Then I received it and all my concerns went away. The finish is stunningly beautiful, a different color every way you look at it. The play is superb, just downright fun and lively. Elvin did an amazing job on these and it was worth every penny.
And that soundā¦ almost like a bell ringing underwater. Amazing.
Got me an E1NSTiEN in the works. Thanks for the tip @d34dj3d , @yoyodoc , and @fatguysnacks247 I should have it on lock by tomorrow evening, its sat aside for me now. Since Elvin didnāt have any left i was lucky to find on one Instagram that dude was responsive to my offer to buy. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the tip off. Im pretty excited to have found one so soon.
