Got these in from a purchase/trade with @Adrielecc who threw in amazing extras! So stoked to play with these, and my collection of No Jive’s featuring the area where I grew up is now complete. ![Wood](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/c/1/2c1c997a817f55bb6f34a19cd9330e8d98676837.jpeg) ---

Today I was able to pick up my package from @Ardeus and I have to say it was an awesome experience unpacking it. First of all it was packaged incredibly well and it was obvious that Ardeus had a nice unboxing experience in mind when packing everything up… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/7/c/77c30ce910cc68b99b0547386199c2434782b7ba.jpeg) The throws themselves are absolute masterpieces… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/5/6/25628c1f1ae56ac13d5fbbafbabfc932aa290eb7.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/7/9/0797a57f548005196c398c2a148a2be6a77cc38e.jpeg) I picked up a Skip, a Stroller, a Stompling and a Stomp and each one of them feels solid and unique in feel and play with distinct play characteristics. I don’t even know which one I like the most because they all play so great with a reliable and predictable response. STM’ing, stalling, string tricks, all feel easy and nice and do flow right of ones hands. It’s clear to me that a lot of thought went into designing them. Ardeus even threw in a Dumpling Proto which I’m greatful for and I really do enjoy that one too…and it looks so slick as well. All in all I couldn’t be happier with my order and those Fixies really live up to their great reputation and the love they’re getting. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/a/7/fa7707ebc50e4667a441a90829b40d1d7231c9b2.jpeg) Stunning work @Ardeus and thank you very much for making these great pieces available for the community (for an incredibly fair price I might add)! Keep up the great work. I’m really looking forward to what comes next out of your mind and printer. Good Yo! ---

I’m pretty much overwhelmed by all the goodness. But if I had to choose right now I think I’d lean towards the Skip. I like the narrow profile and the weight and balance just clicked with me instantly judging from the first couple of throws. ---

Got this general-yo mini star 2 in the post yesterday before heading off to the airport for a holiday, had a quick play with it and then packed it in the bag. It’s a really nice throw, I slightly regret not getting the pink one though. ![IMG_8388](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/3/f/33fc98a9878db2917c490b99097f36dddeb0fd2e.jpeg) ---

I got fortunate and was able to pick this little gem up. It will be a user and needs a good bit of love (and parts) to bring it back but will be a fun project. (Plus I needed the case as a template for perhaps making a few new leather cases). ![IMG_0688](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/7/6/376b2c2b7e9c1cad281e6d7d299c4f829b1313eb.jpeg) ---
