The forums have been so cluttered with people asking questions about the northstar So i decided to make a thread with all you need to know about it

The northstar is very similar to the protostar but The northstar is 2.5 grams heavier  
It will sleep very long (as do most modern yoyos)  
It is very stable because of the rim weight  
It shares it’s shape with the rockstar and protostar  
It is rather affordable at $35

Finally if it fits your preferences and you want a great plastic yoyo the northstar is the yoyo for you

Anyone who wants to add info feel free

This did nothing, all of this informtation can be found by looking at either the Protostar or Northstar page.

Yes all you did here was make another northstar thread :🙂

We should have one thread where all northstar/protostar related questions can go and sticky it until this whole northstar craze blows over.
