While this would be awesome, Mr. Wong doesn’t take many Ano requests these days.(as ridiculously awesome as a skittles essence would be)

Dropped off the 25 essences at the ano shop today.  
I’m keeping these a solid color …I’ll have to release the pics when they are done.  
Crazy ano would jack the price up considerably. These are a good solid throw, no frills…  
And the last time I will ever sell that model.  
These were machined over 2 yeas ago, and were actually forgotten in storage.

Don’t forget about me when they are ready to be sold off. I’d be highly interested in obtaining one.

I’m flattered by the ano requests but unfortunately I’m not set up to do mass anodizing. It’s best if I stick to focusing on hand crafted one off pieces. 🙂

Ernie, make them the solid colour you like best and so keep price low; every release colour was great! :wink:  
And please don’t forget to keep one for me: I miss the Essence in my Gen-Yo collection and I need this.

Have a nice WE

I get the feeling these are going to be snapped up. If you’re making a notification list, put me on. :wink: If not, I guess I’ll just have to roll the bones on getting one!

I just think that is plain selfish for you to keep all that anodizing goodness to yourself.  
Sheesh man. ;D

Well look what showed up at the house today 🙂 Looks nice, plays nice. Has a couple little scratches/Ano issues, but all in all, a really cool yoyo. No box, its sitting on my Majesty box from Ernie’s Dad.
