So has anyone else found a retail outlet around America where you can walk in and find higher end throws in their cases. In my neck of the woods a Yomega Dash is about the best to be found. There was a store I knew of that sold some Duncan metals, but alas, he went out of business.

@BanjoSpins

A real location you say. A brick and mortar shop with a canvas awning out over the front window? Inside there are glass cases of Dark Magic IIs, Gnarwhals, Spyder IIs, and the like? Walls with less expensive throws and bulk string hanging on pegs? A cash register with point of purchase temptations like One Drop 10 bearings and counterweights? Look there, hanging on one wall, an aged and browning photo of Donald Duncan with Pedro Flores shaking hands hanging in a frame, the glass is cracked just a little bit in one corner. A Duncan O-Boy sits in a little dusty shadow box under that picture. There is plenty of open area out in the middle of the place for trying out different throws. It used to be just a wooden floor, but André threw down a large area rug so people didn’t ding up the trial samples.

Like that? Is it anything like that?

You should win an award! That was beautiful.

Air Traffic in Mpls stocks some good stuff. The Roseville and MOA stores do. Have never been to the other locations.

[wcrase (Waylon (Rain City Skills))]

It’s been a while since I’ve been, but I’m pretty sure it’s still the case that the Cleveland yoyo club keeps a stock of yoyos. Though I don’t think anybody the boutique manufacturers have anything there. Just mostly yyf and Duncan.

I’ve always had this picture of André sitting with a laptop in a basement full of all kinds of yoyos, off to one side a little bowl of Kraft Easy Mac getting cold on top of a laser printer spitting out invoice after invoice. His hair all a mess, gripping a Bic pen in his mouth, wild eyed desperately attempting to keep track of inventory and get orders ready for shipping. A mail truck backs up to his garage door every afternoon, a weary carrier loading up another load of yoyos to be delivered around the globe.

Shoot, I’ve been to Mall of America a few times and apparently walked right by. I was always getting tugged along so I could hurry up and sit in a chair while someone else tried on clothes and stuff.

Yes that store is awesome super nice staff and every thing, only problem is state tax.

Infinite illusions was all right but they had less and wouldn’t let me try them.

Okay I get that Josh posted out of line but the way you went about fixing it not only derailed the thread but was fairly rude. In the future report the post [Works wonders] and leave it at that, there’s no need for this silliness.

And bronies don’t fuel the fire if you have nothing to add to the main topic you’re just derailing.

[StillinKansasCity]

There’s a pretty decent Duncan-selling place in the KC area called Moon Marble. Onsight glass blowing and yoyos? Yus. Also, there may be a new shop opening soon. I’ll post again when I find out more information.
