Yeah @KorinaMcCarty told me about that as well. I need to pickup some simple green next time I’m at the store!

I’ve been engaging in a small amount of retail therapy recently (on top of the regular therapy and self care). New to me CLYW Beater. First impressions are awesome.

I got some rare items today from the Amayzing Sale.
-
DNA 888 Green: Basically just a larger size 888 they made because people thought the 888 was too small.
-
Acronizer Silver: This was for a laser sample. I don’t believe there were ever any silver ones released, just blue. So I had to get it. I know the Blue ones were only released through pre-order in Japan and not many are in circulation.

Mighty Flea aka “Weak Flea”: This was an aluminum prototype version of the Mighty Flea. Unfortunately, it ended up being too light for a full release. But cool to have this 1 of 1 in my collection.

RCS Flat Earth. Super slim with thin rims and cups as flat as the earth. Came with a concave bearing and was not responsive. I put in a lubed flat bearing and now it’s tug responsive.

Can you compare it to any similar shaped yo-yos?

Very cool pic. As @twenty_two mentioned I look forward to what you think

YYR 5ive.
I triple looped the included string and the return is working about how I want.
My only wish is that the radius on the inside edge of the wall was at least the same amount as the outer.

I just figured it out, with help from a friend, right before I posted. It loops great and I can do boingy boing with it which is my hardest trick. As far as comparison I don’t have anything else this thin and with little to no rim weight. The Harbinger is more stable but not necessarily more fun.
Edit: I guess the best way to describe the Flat Earth in one word is “unforgiving”. It is a blast and will really reward you for a clean throw but if you get off center you are done. I am really enjoying it.

Well my excitement was crushed when I discovered that one of the yoyo’s I ordered literally got crushed. I’ve really been digging C3Designs and their Crash series so I ordered the Plasma & Hydrogen Crash but unfortunately the Hydrogen Crash really got into a crash on it’s way over here, (I swear I have the worst luck with this stuff). I ordered from YoyoExpert and am 100% confident that they’ll make this right and I already emailed them. I haven’t thrown it yet but the Plasma crash visually looks to be okay. What a bummer, I was peaking out the window for the FedEx delivery man all day for these!

That’s awful.

I never knew the earth was flat. Who would have thought?
I didn’t realize this came unresponsive out of the box, but I was really enjoying the slimline play and decided I’d keep it that way for now. However, my bad luck with new throws has continued to be weird, and this had significant vibe. I decided to throw a flat bearing into it and flip/reseat the axle. Boom, vibe fixed, and this thing is SNAPPY. I tried a couple shoot the moons, and it felt great. I may be keeping this one responsive… I’d like to see a clear/nickel version for the pocket.
