Show Off Your YoyoExpert Edition Throws!!

Yo-Yo Exhibition Display Case

I just discovered that there is one YoyoExpert Edition General Yo. It is a Torrent II, and it looks nothing like you might expect. Anyone have one of these? Note the “X” behind the General Yo logo. Only about 8 were made :frowning:

Don’t think I’ve mentioned that the YYE editions are my exact school colors :smiley:

244

never stopped to think of it, but they are (were) mine too! hmmmm, I wonder if that is part of the reason, beside Van Halen, that I am drawn to that combination?

245

I was not so lucky.

High school was blue/white
College was royal purple/white
Graduate School was blue/gold

:stuck_out_tongue:

246

Oh snap that’s creative

247

Oh man, only 4 Monkey Fists left… We need $420!!!
Noticed this popping up too…

AND… I think this is the best shot I have gotten yet with my phone of a yo-yo, following TA’s pro tips of natural lighting and a white background (in this case, the hood of my car, I just need to clean the car next time) of my new Luminous… Took quite a while to get a trade going for one of these, I could have just bought one several times, but there is no thrill, no hunt, no sport in that…:slight_smile:
I think that this is the best looking yo-yo I own, definitely one of the best playing, it is magic…

I noticed the DiBase…almost bought it during the July 4th sale, but it’s not official, so I’m not sure I’ll take the plunge. All the holes in my case are filled, so I don’t need anymore place holders.

That photo looks great, but there is one more step you need to take to get here (I hope you don’t mind me tampering with it):

NOOOOOO WAAAAAY! :o If you ever sell that…I must have it! I would “offer big” for that one. Gimmie. :smiley: Looks awesome. I would pay extra just for the “X.” Have you posted your collection yet? I’d love to see what you have hidden over there!

Hi Chuck, just checking in. I’d like you to check over my two definitions, and if you approve, we’ll post them on the first page. I wrote up a definition for a “YoyoExpert Edition,” as we know it and a second definition for a “YoyoExpert Colorway.” I will eventually seek YoyoExpert’s stamp of approval, of course. But, seeing as this thread is the encyclopedia of YoyoExpert Editions and colorways, I figured I’d post here. After all, no one else cares :smiley:

Here they are:

Definition of An Official YoyoExpert Edition:

  1. A limited release colorway version of a yo-yo model, sold exclusively at YoyoExpert; which
  2. Usually bears any combination of the red, black and white (silver) colorway. One or more of these colors may not be present, and other colors are sometimes incorporated; and
  3. Such yo-yo has been advertised and approved by YoyoExpert, as a YoyoExpert Edition Yo-Yo.
  4. A YoyoExpert edition yo-yo may, or may not, bear the YoyoExpert logo, name, or slogan.
  • Example of #2 is the SR-71, which is nickel, Cascade with gold, Code 2 with gold, Code 1 with gold, Torrent II with pink/gold and a version of the Overdrive with blue.
  • The only ones known to bear it all, the name, logo and slogan are the Token and Barracuda.

Definition of a YoyoExpert Colorway:

  1. A colorway consisting of the three YoyoExpert logo colors, red, black and white (silver). The three colors are always present on the yo-yo.
  2. It is not sold exclusively at YoyoExpert; and
  3. It is not a very limited release.
  4. It has not been advertised and approved by YoyoExpert as a YoyoExpert Edition Yo-Yo.
  5. It never bears the YoyoExpert logo, name or slogan, but because of it’s colors, still reminds you of YoyoExpert.

*Good examples are the H.O.T., and Supernova in red/black/white colorways.

I got the prize in the MonkeyFist box…a YoyoExpert Special Edition Spin Dynamics Smooth Moove:

Look closely and you will see the YoyoExpert Logo in the center:

Did you buy them both or win the coin toss?

255

I only got one…it was a 50/50 shot. It seems right at home doesn’t it? ;D It worked out better this way, instead of trying to track down some winner and harass him/her to “offer big” before they beat it up. :frowning:

Wow. Smooth Move TA.

257

Aw man, I was about to buy the brown Monkey Fist as soon as I got back from vacation! For some reason, I had a feeling it would be in there…

Congrats on the find though TA, both of those are great looking! I think the Smooth Move is being put to better use in your awesome YYE collection than it would have in mine!

258

I almost bought the last 2 to guarantee that I get it. I should have. Maybe I could have gotten you to trade one of your Oxy Tis for the YYE smooth move.

259

@ Big Cat…thanks as usual Big Cat.

@ RobK…well Rob, you never know. If I had to get it from someone else, things would be kinda desperate, so anything is possible. ;D I really lucked out on this one.
