Nothing had changed drastically compared an year ago, except Anubis 2, but maybe I could get a chance to add a Mustang U in my collection next week…
Is it weird that I find collections like this much more appealing than the monster collections a lot of us end up with?
It just seems very intentionally cultivated, and the lack of random weird throws and plastics really adds to the aesthetic especially with such nice yo-yos.
I find that a good looking collection usually focuses on something.
i.e. mostly plastics, or metals, or certain shapes/sizes.
I personally think plastic organics are king. (Freehand FTW!)
Which ones are you missing still, I can’t tell
Agreed. I prefer a carefully, cultivated collection much more appealing. That’s not to say that collector collections don’t have a place, but personally, would much rather have a smaller, more manageable size that caters to my personal preference rather than owning every single throw that ever existed. That being said, Two is one; one is none
is an ever-present motto throughout my life, so there’s a good chance that my collection is likely twice it’s size due to that motto, one for play and one for looks (or backup, pursuant of the three is two
clause)
Edit: To add, I’m the kind of person that gravitates towards specific things as I tend to like a specific style/feel/taste/etc (when including other hobbies). I pick up something new every now and again to see if my tastes have evolved, but that’s after a few weeks of using the same
This line right here officer. That’s the one that hurt me.
I am for sure missing the popcorn colorway
I would like to acquire the ti proto someday but don’t think that will happen lol
The collection really focuses on throws from Jake Bullock, Recess and OhYesYo / Coffin’s collabs. The OYY/ Coffin collection has definitely been a labor of love to collect the main releases and track down some of the rare ones.
With that being said I NEED a Nightingale 2 so bad!
I only know cuz I see it first hand every day
That is a super cool way to store and display!
Current CLYW/ CLYW x YYF Basecamp/ CLYW x Duncan/ CLYW x OD/ CLYW x Luftverk/ CLYW x SUS YOYO MECHANICS/ Pool Party/ Heaven Sent case with honorable mentions of
YoYoCommunity The Koi (heavily inspired Scout design)
YoYoCo Savage (a spiritual Chief clone)
Filled the rest of the case with some Atmos yo-yos, a Dis Anima, and my old OD Chocolate M1 for the time being.
…and my Unknown case, currently playing home to a couple small random throws. (Zeekio Vali 2 and hand engraved “Bone Daddy” black unlasered 2007 WYYC SPYY Spyder.)
Not my full collection but i just updated my main case with a Tundra and Ringbearer.
And the overflow tower speaker claims more victims…
There’s about a square-foot of space on my dresser where I keep 21 yo-yos.
Edit: I found a new-ish picture, I’ve added 4 yo-yos to this pile since.
What’s the BBB?
1 of 4 preproduction Avalanche.
I tried finding the blog post but I guess CLYW wiped their site…
…Is that the 1 of 1(?) Rubber Bee GT?
Did a little re-organizing last night, snapped a pic this morning because it made me smile when I walked by it getting ready for work
I have a Saber Raider coming in the mail, but I figured I’d share, because when are we truly done collecting, anyways. Just the current state of the collection as of today lol
Bottom left corner, that magnificent looking freehand, I love it!
