Ever since the MK1/SW black RBC was announced for the second run, I had a feeling that it was a low key Unknown edition. The language that @MarkD used on his site was certainly suspicious: _"Unengraved \* completely normal black color. The blast is extra nice on this one._ \*_do not read between the lines"_ I already had the RBC in navy and loved it but I felt compelled to get the gorgeous blackout edition with the matte blast. - sidenote: the blast on this yoyo is very nice feeling, really silky! I finally got the yoyo on Monday and proceeded to inspect it for any subtle markings. I even looked under the response pads. Nothing… Then this morning I decided to check the box again and I noticed that it came with a unique sticker from the standard RBC. ![IMG_4894](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/2/3/c23f2a80e1385679d09cec351dcc70ec7b79f86a.jpeg) And there it was, like a clue in a murder mystery. The evidence I was searching for: ![IMG_4896](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/a/e/dae621fc36b3afa72054f5cccbd35c82c01c0750.jpeg) There you have it folks. ~~Case closed~~ … 🕵️‍♂️ Edit: Please read below as I soon realized that this mystery ran much deeper than I expected… ---

Nicely spotted! It’s a real trick of the light - very easy to see before I put the stickers on the black box. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/5/9/35993ad404e8d1c963f29be853495371a6974a87.png) These two clues were to hint that it was a collab, but the actual mystery remains to be found! ---
