Love this so glad you found one

[Vargabond (Nicholas)]

Good friend from discord hooked it up.

[Ironical_Monocle1 (Jason)]

I can’t believe someone parted with it, especially that colorway… I haven’t put mine down since I got it… congrats on your score!

[SML (Nick)]

Going to be hard to resist throwing this one before the end of July…

[KorinaMcCarty (Dan)]

What is this one Nick? Looks interesting

3yo3 Al5

It’s the more affordable version of the Ti5.

[KorinaMcCarty (Dan)]

Nice, thanks

The Janus from ZGRT

My first truly pocket friendly yo-yo, I am not used to the slim line aspect and will need to work on my overall accuracy!

[Des (Des Bowman)]

Congrats! How does it play? i was thinking of getting one for a competition like NY States or maybe when throwdown happens later this year.

[JosiahR (Josiah Ratzlaff)]

Epic mail day for me. In addition to getting a GTR in the mail from a trade I also got a CLYW Wish from a trade at club.
It’s always a good day with new throws to play with!

Been out of the country for 3 weeks for work, but now that I’m home I can finally dig through all my packages. These were the ones I was excited to open first!

[MuppetLabs (Alicia)]

Thanks!

I really like it! The Peregrine is my first bimetal, so I can’t compare with others. In comparison to the YYF Superstar 2024 which is my only other metal unresponsive, it feels much lighter and more maneuverable, but still stable. The tricks I know that require popping the yo-yo up all seem easier. The response on a bind is snappy, but I haven’t noticed any issues with snagging while doing tricks. I love the finish on this. This fiery colorway is great too, though it has some very yellow spots. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a great playing and great looking yo-yo.

The red with yellow rubber rims is a very interesting Aoda yoyo.

Here is what the seller said about it:

It’s been a while since I last visited China (June 2024). Every time I go there I discover something new in the toy wholesale district, but in Guangzhou, the largest, the number of wholesalers has halved, and there is no trace of the yo-yo boom that ended more than 10 years ago.

Meanwhile, I discovered AODA at a wholesaler in a rural area of the northeastern region! It was cast. Details are unknown, but it is a yo-yo with a cast body and a rubber protective ring.

It has a starburst response that takes advantage of the benefits of casting, a spacer system to ensure precision, and other AODA-like ingenuity that goes beyond just lowering the price. This model is a plastic yo-yo that has been turned into metal (die-cast), so it is probably not from the end of the boom, but from the early days of the boom, and is dead stock. It

may have been in stock in the past, but I looked back as far as I could and couldn’t find any records, so it may be the first time, and we don’t stock that many, so if you like unique yo-yos

[Yo-yo_Power (Yo-Mah-Ma)]

There is the spacers, bearing, and cast starburst.
