Man, you and I seem to but heads on everything don’t we? 😄 From whether collecting is more important to throwing to even what the future of yoyo design looks like haha. But seriously, try a shogun :wink: ---

Because it’s actually pretty uninformed. If the year of production means there are actual changes in the specs of the yoyo, then yeah, year does matter. If there are no changes in specs over the different runs on 888’s produced in different years, then i could see how the opinion of “The year of the 888 does not matter” is true. ---

I know there are small changes for sure. But I’ll pay most of the people that care a lot about the 888 year $100 if they can tell a difference in a blind play test. ---

idk. A gram off or a mm extra would def mess with the feel of my favorite yoyos. I bet the people who are paying lots of money for an specific version of the 888 are not doing it because the way that specific one plays lol ---

Hey that’s one way to look at it. I started on cheap fixed wood and metal axles so anything else is an improvement from those.😁:+1: [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/unpopular-yoyo-opinions/296554.md?page=74) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/unpopular-yoyo-opinions/296554.md?page=76)
