Hiya guys just wanted to see if there was anyone in the Uk that wanted to start a discussion on a relatable level for me as it’s a little less accessible here in the Uk be great to hear from some others in the community over here about everything yoyo

Hi there lovely to meet u! Just thought would nice to have somewhere where we can discus where we buy yo-yos from, what ones we’ve bought recently, and just Uk yo yo yoing in general!
Cool, and you. I’m sure there are lots more of us here. Buying, I mainly use the well-known auction site but I got a Whip from a local toy shop when I first started. I also make my own throws. Recent purchases are a MagicYoYo Ghz D1 and a Crossed Flags Duncan woody (the 1955 repro).

The well known auction site being? eBay? I mainly use latiendadelyoyo it’s a Spanish one but have some great throws… And u make ur own!! that is quality mainly fixed axle ones or more advanced things as well? N my new perchases are the clyw boy unprld antidote and also just got the yoyofriends koi. How are ur new perchases!
That’s the one. You’ve got some nice throws there! Yes, I make yoyos, mainly one-piece fixies but I’ve started making three-piece yoyos with threaded axles (like TMBR). Not had a lot of success with these yet – the process definitely needs refining!

Thank you bro just can’t stop myself from getting them 
n that is awesome deffo keep it up id love to see ur progress as u make them! Do u mostly use magic yoyo or have u got other brands u enjoy?
Ey up UK squad haha
UK thrower here too. I got into yoyos in the 90s when the yoyo boom hit then I stopped and really got into it in my teens but then stopped again for about 10/11 years. Got the itch to return during lockdown last year. I had pretty much forgotten everything so it’s been fun learning the basics all over again.
I don’t think we can mention other shops on the YYE forums due to YYE also being a store. But there are a few shops around Europe that I’ve tried. There are even 2 in the UK that still get some newer throws in and not just your standard Duncan and YYF plastics.

Oh and here’s a couple of my recent purchases
The one on the left is from a guy in Denmark, under the name Out of Hand, so don’t have to wait that long for it to get to the UK.

yeah man I’ve definitely went a bit mad in the past year adding to my collection haha The bi-metal on the right is the new Slam Dunk by Jake Bullock. Check him out on instagram, I dont think he’s on the forums that much. He used to be on the Anti-Yo team and has been putting out his own line of yoyos the past few years. I think all of the Slam Dunks are sold out at the moment but there are more colours on the way so keep an eye out. its a really good throw 
Ikr especially with lockdown n some spare funds sloshing around a treat here n there of a throw rlly is a must I’ve just bought the koi n already searching for the next buy 
n oh wow I’ll be sure to have a look it looks fantastic I won’t lie what’s his ig?
yeah man I’m the same, always on the look haha I was considering the Koi a few weeks ago, how do you find it?
Jakes instagram is ‘jakebullockyoyo’ also check out ‘sakatuca’ if you haven’t already. hes crazy good, does some amazing repeaters
I’m still waiting in the delivery comes next week I’m overly excited about it I’ll let you know when I get it tho! N ooo I’ll give it a look now! What’s the shipping like? And I’ll check him out also need some new tricks
Shipping was $16 and wasn’t shipped with USPS so arrived in a couple weeks. Jake does pretty decent packaging so no issues there.
