Unpopular Yoyo Opinions

I like getting a couple stickers, especially good quality ones, to put on my plastic case.

Perfect example. 2 small, high quality stickers. Love those reflective ones.

@MarkD is a fine example for this. I can see how to some it looks like “trying too hard” but in Mark’s case it was just tons of extra heart and love put into it. I mean the dude knitted pouches for like 70 diffraction v2s lol. And those stickers are like… KAZAAM

As much as I like the Diffraction V2, the stickers were cool, but the hand knitted pouch maybe uneccesary. It does show a lot of love, though.

With my sk8er I got some freaky looking Lego man with a skateboard. A waste of money and uneccesary.

I don’t need a ton of stickers, cookies, Lego men or anything else. I just need the yoyo.

The pouch is how I discovered that André used to knit! Totally worth it.

Seems we both agree on this. I don’t need stickers, toy pieces, and a lock hair from company owner’s dog’s firstborn puppy. Just sell me a good YoYo. Focus on yoyo design and not package design.

Is it an unpopular opinion that my Tivayder is only used as a sparkler?

It’s got to be a very fancy metal.

I get it that small runs are more expensive per unit than big runs. Economy of scale and such. Not even factoring in B-grades. I feel for the startup companies who think making yoyos is their ticket to Easy Street.

Consumables are ok by me.

+1 for a brownie.

+1.5 for a brownie with pecans.

+100 for a corner brownie with pecans.

Maybe this is aimed at me a little. I don’t mind of course.

I think presentation is important. I put a lot of myself into everything I put out. Including the packaging and the yoyo. I spend ages agonising over how a yoyo should play and perform. I don’t spend as much time on packaging, even though there’s a lot of stuff in the fancy box. I know the boxes and packaging and once I have a routine, it’s not as much work as you might think.

I still agree the yoyo is the most important part. If the yoyo is trash, it doesn’t matter if it comes with diamond rings, it’s still a trash yoyo. A nice unboxing experience is still a good thing though. You don’t have to keep or use the stickers, but it’s nice to have that option.
