While people are discussing what yo-yos to bring, that reminds me I never askedā€¦

Is there any specific yo-yos you want to see at the YoYoExpert booth?

Weā€™re always try to bring new releases and a wide variety of what we have in stock, but if thereā€™s something specific or older you want let me know and Iā€™ll do my best to add it in!

Slightly unrelated but were you at the booth at NER?

I was at the booth a little bit, but I got stuck doing sound at NER this year. Probably my least favorite thing to do at a contest lol.

I was just wondering if you were manning the booth because I bought a few things from it.

I wouldā€™ve loved to send one to my friend who is going, but I didnā€™t think of that :man_facepalming:. I guess you could just ask Gentry and keiran since they liked it :man_shrugging:

Probably most of the strange ā€œinnovativeā€ recent releases. I probably wouldnā€™t buy them, but I would want to try them: (TM, Almighty, Samurai, and the ERCIM)

Do they both currently have one?

Hermes, Navigator, Peak 2, Wildfire?

Iā€™m not going but this seems like a good idea. A lot of the community doesnā€™t have access to clubs or contests and canā€™t try the more unique stuff and it makes it less likely theyā€™ll spend money on something that they wonā€™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.

Iā€™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 youā€™re out, but I reckon it doesnā€™t hurt to mention. And since I enjoy missing the entire point of things, Iā€™ll also be seeing if there are any nice Kendamas floating around.

They do not have one but they both enjoyed it. Gentry thought it was 10 grams less then it actually is lol

All of these are packed and will be there. :+1:

Hermes and Wildfire are sold out, but weā€™ll have Navigators and Peak 2.

Definitely have some TMs packed. We donā€™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 Iā€™ll see what I can do for Akitasā€¦ :wink:

Debating on leaving an empty spot, but why??

So you have room for a new purchase or twoā€¦ or 5. :grin:

I figure they will travel well in their boxes ā€¦
Or! ā€¦ one of my purchases might be a new YYE caseā€¦
See?.. always thinkinā€™

For real though, I might prep some extra foam for the trip.

I was planning on not going this year. I didnā€™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.
