What did you get in the mail, 2023

Yeah, I sent them an email through the contact page before I posted here, hopefully that’s enough to get this sorted!

Is the ministar2 worth the 100 bucks though ? Some of us aren’t as lucky to be in CONUS to pick up from the BST.

Got these in the mail a week or so ago. Fallen Angel and Ditch.

Nice and small pocket yoyo’s. :+1:

Thanks @bodahrevy for hooking me up with these fun throws! :grin:

I can’t address the part about being worth $100, as it’s a subjective and relative amount. For some, that’s nothing and for others it’s a ton of money. But I will say that it’s an utterly fantastic mini yoyo. Seriously, it plays much closer to a full-sized yoyo than any other mini I’ve thrown. I don’t know if it’s due to the weight distribution or the fact that it’s a bimetal, but it performs really well and doesn’t have that ‘rock on a string’ feel that a lot of minis have. And did I mention that it’s good for finger spins and grinds?!? Despite not having a dimple, your finger fits perfectly in the cup around the axle part so DNAs aren’t too difficult.

But I hear you on the price point. I certainly don’t regret buying mine, but if the were cheaper I’d definitely get another one. It’s a tough decision! But if you like smaller yoyos that will fit in any pocket no matter how small, this is a really stable performer.

My man, Efren does amazing work. I don’t know if he is planning on making more, but if you ever get the opportunity to pick one up, don’t hesitate. This is so fun.

I have trouble spending $100 on anything, especially if I had to add international shipping. For the moment there are B grade Snacks for sale under $20 so having now tried both I’d have to say that even at full price the Snack offers more bang for the buck than the Ministar 2. Had it not been for the deal on the BST I never would have known and I would have always wondered. There is not a tremendous difference in performance between the Snack and the Ministar. Both perform incredibly well. The Ministar does have a slightly nicer feel all around and that’s the main difference. But it’s not night and day.

Didn’t get this in the mail, but I picked it up last night from the grocery store. Had my eye on it for a month, they were down to just a few Imperials, so they let me grab the box (yes I realize they put the hangers through the top box upside-down =))

I’ll say the ministar2 had a bit more spin time but not enough to justify the cost. I got mine when there was a sale so I think it was closer to 70 but it was still allot for the yoyo.
