I agree, it is my favorite. That is SO COOL how you got that shot clearing showing the logo while spinning, that is ART if I ever saw it. I am floored. FANTASTIC!!!
I prefer the darker reds for yye colorways. So my favorite has to be the superstar.
Since you are looking for all Red/black/(white) yo-yos, here are some from yoyofficer:

Thanks Bina. I have not tried a Yoyofficer, but I plan to try one very soon…especially when they have my colors so often. 
DrAwesome…I felt the same way, until I saw that Barracuda in person. It is just perfect! Love that thing.
Chuck! What are we going to do? I never owned a YoyoRecreation throw, and never felt the need to…until now. There are two of them…TWO! I got the first one right off the bat. The second one will throw my case off, but I may have to get that one too. 
Also, I have noticed something. There is blue on the new YYE Edition OD Novus box, and there is blue on one of these throws…do you see a change in the color of the logo coming? It could be pure coincidence, but blue has shown up twice now. :-\
oh geez… I want a red white and blue yo-yo really bad, so this is perfect. And yes, WOW.

This is the second throw now that people have posted here that I wiggled out of them… 
I didn’t ask first in either case, I feel better about that… Campfire Coals edition CLYW Campfire… Very subtle, and while that silver looks like it actually has texture to it and might be felt, it does not. It looks less like a big gash in real life, but it still looks like a big gash… The idea is the edges of a piece of wood in a fire, with the red hot and the ash, and it looks JUST like that, it is cool!!! Thanks Proboscis! Plays great too…

This was a very limited colorway of the Sakura SE…Right up our alley…
This is the first, (and probably last) yo-yo I have thought to give a name to… ILLY One Drop Sakura SE with Anti-Yo Side Effects, A Crucial Bearing and Toxic String… 5 way homemade collab…I got the Throw in a 3 way trade with David Savage and Alton Moore, The Side Effects Either from Richard Norris or Mack Finley, The bearing from Mike Fasano, and the String from Evan… A lot of stitching together… Ladies and Gentleman, the yo-yo heretofore to be referred to as “Frankenstein”
That Sakura looks great Chuck, and the Campfire is “you,” I know you like the throws heavy on the black, so it is just right for you. I got the YoyoRecreation in the mail recently, and I made a thread about “high end” yo-yos, but this definitely seems like one for sure. It plays amazing. It has that “pinkish” red look to it, but still looks great. It might make my top 5 in the looks department. By the way, I showed my YYE case to Andre at Mass States. He took out his cell phone and snapped a photo. I think that gets it the thumbs up. ;D I still have to get that Aware, but I’m thinking the July 4th sale, I’m all over it.

Oh WOW… That REALLY looks good… Nice job!!!
I must admit that with that other version in stock…I’m feeling kinda froggy. I feel a posting in the Twins thread coming on. I’m trying to hold back…we’ll see. :-[
Nevermind that…time to move on folks. In other news, the Arctic Circle YYE Edition is here. I loved the one in the photo so much, that I asked YoyoExpert if I could have it. He said yes, so this one will be mine. Looks like a cat clawed it on the front. I like how it’s black on one side too. I don’t have one like it, so this is a winner! I can’t wait. Coming soon…
I updated the first page of the thread to show my progress so far. I also added the YYR Overdrive and Arctic Circle to the official list. Also, the 2013 Eh is out of stock…took no time at all. I’ll post here too, and give this a bump for that reason. Not easy getting a descent photo of the whole case, but these are the most post worthy of the shots I had taken:

I almost died. This is one of the prettiest things I’ve ever seen. People thinking outside the YYE Colorway box, by making the yo-yo white, and then splashing the red and black. This is a WINNER!! Props to YoyoFactory. I can’t wait until this hits the shelves. This is SICK!! Straight from Instagram. Coming in July! I’m going to get one, without a doubt. Oh, and follow YoyoFactory on Instagram (my special way of trying to get a pass for posting that photo up here).

Hi Chuck. Thanks for allowing the Rex to stay in the family. It plays great, feels light, and smooth as can be. It begged me for the black string and photo shoot, so we had some fun. It looks great. I love it!

By the way…at about 7:30 on the front of this yo-yo, there is part of the splash that resembles the end of a yo-yo string, the part with the finger loop. See if you can find it. Pretty cool!

The weird side looks good, too, but the kitty claw side is just awesome.
I much prefer the “weird” side!!! Looks a bit more “crazy” to me… I like crazy…
The crazy side is growing on me a bit. You wouldn’t believe this… but I dampened a Q-tip and ran it inside and around that double rim. How can it be, that there is still some dust visible in there? It kind of bothers me, but then again, because those double rim CLYWs hold dust, I might as well depict the yo-yo in it’s true state.
Catching up here… That H.O.T> is DEFINITELY the one I have been waiting for, wow. That looks GREAT. I DID notice that string figure in the Rex when I first got it, and I had forgotten all about that… hehe, give it back! The kitten claws look magnificent!!! Have a new thing on the way that I am very excited about, will post pics when it arrives… wow, that H.O.T.! wow!!! New baby at our house (one week old ) so I will have to let you be ahead for a couple of months before I catch back up on new acquisitions…
