Does anyone know much about this? How it plays…etc…
Theres a few left in the yye store so I’m guessing they weren’t too known/popular
But they’ve been out for a while.
they’re a large bearing sili recessed and hubstacked Cold Fusion GT so most people didn’t touch them due to their shape
I think the Walter is a better choice when looking for something in that shape/style but it’s of course more expensive
It looks like TimCor is re-releasing this on September 14th, 2018… that is 3 days from now. Info at instagram.com/timcorproductions/
Good luck finding a Walter though 
Edit: I went ahead and ordered one of these. Will update after it arrives.
I don’t want to scare anyone with my salty sailor like language, or anything, but I have had the TimCor Starfire for a few days now and it is a H E double hockey sticks of a lot of fun!
It’s just so weird to have a brand new hubstack yoyo in my hands reflecting modern machining standards… with crazy smooth spinning hubstacks! Of course I lubed those hubstacks, because that’s how I roll … but even directly out of the box they sure feel notably smoother than the older vintage hubstack yoyos I have on hand. And after lube treatment they are … makes chef kissing lips gesture incredible 
Weight (63.7) and size (33.5 width, 56.4 diameter) are spot on, I have mine set up responsive – it comes with both kinds of bearings, defaults to wide/unresponsive – and overall the Starfire re-release feels like the YYF Confusion to me. That’s good news because I freakin’ love the Confusion. The Starfire was similarly a “modern throwback” throw (even when it was originally released, I guess in 2011) that simultaneously embraces modern yoyo design elements while incorporating all the stuff that made those classic yo-yos fun in the first place.
I got the splash one and it’s better looking than I expected because it is shiny (not bead blasted) and that shows off the shiny rose gold versus the black. I think overall I do prefer a blasted finish but the shiny finish is really spectacular on this particular colorway. I am not sure if the solids are also shiny finishes, but it looks to me from this picture that the solids are indeed blasted which is awesome, so you get a choice not only of colors but indirectly a choice of finish as well.
I give it five out of five yos, would recommend, and YYE should carry this one like they carried the original Starfire back in the day

Also for fun, comparison of the Starfire vs the ProYo Cold Fusion and a Duncan dragonfly (which is apparently a rebranded ProYo Turbo Bumble Bee GT)

I’m lovin’ it. As the video says, very, very, verrrry smooth. Hubstacks and classic coldfusion play style, but updated with a modern, extreme level of machining precision.
