My 1995 one is A0656 which is ten away from being an awesome yoyo to own. I have A0049 from 1999 too. ---

I really don’t play the SB-2s that often. I think it’s a great yo-yo but I generally prefer a wood axle or a fully unresponsive yo-yo. The SB-2 doesn’t really fit my vibe. The original Silver Bullet is awesome and I’m eager to play the SB-X when it’s released. ---

We should set a separate TK metals post - so many one-offs and test runs on the SB2. TBH, I lost a little interest once there because too many variations, with each year starting a new # sequence. I do have a couple of the No. 1 serials and will dig them out to post. ---

Thanks to this thread, I was already thinking about getting a natural finish Roller Woody and white Sleep Machine off his site so this (after noting the P.S. on the gofundme page that he’s regained control of the website) helped me to follow through. ---
