While people are discussing what yo-yos to bring, that reminds me I never asked… **Is there any specific yo-yos you want to see at the YoYoExpert booth?** We’re always try to bring new releases and a wide variety of what we have in stock, but if there’s something specific or older you want let me know and I’ll do my best to add it in! ---

> [@yofanatic05](#): > > Probably most of the strange “innovative” recent releases. I probably wouldn’t buy them, but I would want to try them: (TM, Almighty, Samurai, and the ERCIM) I’m not going but this seems like a good idea. A lot of the community doesn’t have access to clubs or contests and can’t try the more unique stuff and it makes it less likely they’ll spend money on something that they won’t like and might be harder to resell. The more people that can try them and give positive feedback the more likely it is that people will be willing to buy them. ---

I’m really interested in trying a TM, as it looks like a throw I might really like. My primary goal is to find an Akita, of which you’re out, but I reckon it doesn’t hurt to mention. And since I enjoy missing the entire point of things, I’ll also be seeing if there are any nice Kendamas floating around. ---

My primary goal is to find an Akita, of which you’re out, but I reckon it doesn’t hurt to mention. And since I enjoy missing the entire point of things, I’ll also be seeing if there are any nice Kendamas floating around. Definitely have some TMs packed. We don’t get a ton of kendama releases since they slowed down a bit, but I packed a few grain theory which I really like. A few others as well. And I’ll see what I can do for Akitas… :wink: ---

I was planning on not going this year. I didn’t book a room anywhere etc. I may still be able to drive out Thursday night and drive back Sunday. I live in eastern Massachusetts. Is there anyone out there that might let me crash in their room for the weekend? Long shot and I still may not be able to go, but worth a shot.
