TMBR x Ed Haponik x YoYoExpert present the EH 2019 - SPECTRA!

Engravings are complete! We went slightly smaller on this run of EHknowns to keep the placement more consistent and reduce defects. The rEHnbow engravings are about the same as last run.

For those who asked to be placed on a waitlist for this re-release, what is the method of notification being used?

If you got one of those testers like last time where you put the engraving all over, I will totes pay full price for it.

What is this wait list exactly? If there is one, I need to be on it. I thought it was just going to be first come, first served.

Maybe that list is on the other side of the sheet with the secret Spinworthy list… :wink:

I assumed that list is the people who missed out on the last release.

Yeah, I have no idea what this list is…I’m just being snarky over the idea of special lists.

The list a few people keep mentioning is in reference to this post from AndrƩ: TMBR x UNKNOWN x Ed Haponik present: The EHKNOWN! - #23 by AndreBoulay

Pretty much if you missed out on the EHknown release in September, you could have sent us an email and we added you to a ā€˜hold’ list for this release.

Ah, back in Sep '19, long before I acquired an interest in wood fixies.

Is it too late to get in on this list?

That’d be how I missed it. Joined the forum after that.

I would say it’s too late now. If we start adding more people now then we won’t have any yo-yos left for the official release.

It was more of a ā€˜for those who really really wanted an EH, but couldn’t get one during the release because they sold out so fast’ kind of list.

I have a sinking feeling that getting one of these eHKNOWNs is going to be like getting in on a G2 drop.

Unfortunately all unknown editions are that way.

Don’t worry, I will offer a worthy alternative. :wink:

I just want a rainbow spectra so if first come is good enough for that one I’m happy.

I dunno why people don’t just make a ton of the dang yo-yos. It’s like they HATE MONEY or something?

Can’t tell if you’re kidding. If not:

Have you seen how Colin makes them?
He can’t just request parts from overseas - he MAKES the parts which he uses to MAKE the parts by hand. Here’s a few of the jigs he’s used to turn recent versions of the eH. If you haven’t had a chance, he’s done some live videos of him turning - it’s a super intuitive and time-consuming process.

And you know he’s got a 9-5 making custom handcrafted furniture? Because who doesn’t want to turn wood all day to come home, high five their family and head to the shed to… turn more wood?

Lastly, I’m not sure how much do you think he makes per boutique wooden yoyo compared with the material & time needed to complete it, but I assure you making yo-yo’s this way has more to do with a love of either yo-yo’s or wood than a love of money (not that any of us HATE it, no).

We’re doing what we can - to make em, do tricks with em, and get em into peoples’ hands. This isn’t an ā€œit’s SO TOUGHā€ post so much as a ā€œthis is why there aren’t 500 of emā€ post. I KNOW we appreciate the support. :pray:
