I talked to some other yo-yo manufacturers when I started considering making a production run and was told that they often do 300 which seemed like a ton to me but hey 48 sold out in like 12 hours šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø ---

I think you did fine. Itā€™s a new concept that had some potential for skepticism and your last mono metal took a while to sell through so I think your conservative approach was warranted. Folks are just disappointed because thereā€™s a good bit of hype and the notice in the drop was minimal so people felt like they didnā€™t even get a chance. All that to say I think thereā€™s demand for another run but I also get your desire to hear a bit of feedback from folks who ordered this run before you pull the trigger ---

Truly am blown away by the play of the throw crazy low rpm and binds like a monster. Must add love the fact an extra bearing was in there in love with its size. But donā€™t let that fool you :wink: ![621](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/d/f/cdfc0e0c2e8fc86f5de645b8e6a5dd91dd476694.jpeg) ---

Piggybacking off this, there were definitely a lot of people interested and hyped about this, for certain, which is a great thing! I didnā€™t mind a surprise drop so much, because for all we know as well, a countdown could have created a race condition like in the past with other drops, then people would have been upset about that instead. šŸ¤£ All in all, Iā€™m excited to hear peopleā€™s feedback on the throw as well if it has the potential of leading to another run. šŸ™‚ ---

I think that when the order was placed, 48 seemed quite reasonable; if not ambitious. But this yo-yo took on an organic-hype that boosted demand significantly. While @anon5341354 never really ā€˜marketedā€™ this yo-yo; it nevertheless found its way into the consciousness of this community that few marketing or hype-campaigns could rival. This ramped demand made the original order seem inadequate. ---

I actually stayed out of this round, because I was fortunate enough to get a B-Grade already, and I saw them flying at the drop, so I wanted at least one extra person to be able to experience the awesomeness. If thereā€™s a second one though in the future, I will not be as kind. šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ ---

Honestly everyone, I just didnā€™t realise how quickly this yoyo would sell out. I figured YYE were being quite charitable toward me by stocking my strange, $110 organic monometal. I wasnā€™t sure that it would actually sell out or be well received. I named it the Flying _Lemon_ for a reason. Looks like I was wrong. I will look into making more, but only if YYE take the lot of them. Getting quality bearings is quite tricky too. ---

First impression of the lemon: itā€™s different. It feels completely unique from anything Iā€™ve thrown before. Iā€™m not sure what it is about itā€¦ maybe the smaller bearing? Even when itā€™s almost out of spin it returns to my hand with a snap! Out of the box it played semi-responsive but I think that can be attributed to the stock string being on the thicker side. It was actually really fun like that but as I played more, it became completely unresponsive. I can hit every trick I know with ease, even elements Iā€™ve struggled with. Anyway, these were just my first impressions from playing with it for a little while. In simple terms, itā€™s SICK! So far, no sour feelings! šŸ‹ ---

The simi responsiveness was probably the factory lubricant working its way out even if they wherenā€™t greased like the first round of bearings I imagine they still have small amount of factory stuff in em to prevent corrosion on the shelf if left to sit. Thankfully the bearings are so small it doesnā€™t take much play time to work it out ---

Yeah, youā€™re probably right. I have several undersized throws, but none with anything smaller than a d-bearing. I like the MR85 so far. ---

Not sure why this was a surprise to everyone. It has been talked about for a while and if you subscribed to the thread, you would have received updates when there were posts in the thread. This is what I did. I saw the post that they were dropped and I snagged one. Easy. No surprise. Iā€™m glad I did too. This is a great little throw. I got to play with it a bit on Friday and Iā€™m really happy with the way it plays. Nice job @anon5341354 !! enjoy the throw my friends kgb ---
