What did you get in the mail, 2026?

Its a very nice yo. It’s a bit wider than what I usually play but I seek differing shapes in a plastic. Its good and cheap.

It plays closer to a tp yoyo but not as heavy and feels nice on the string

My new EDC, which I’ve named Bluejay​:feather:, landed today. Blueberry​:blueberries: is looking forward to a well deserved rest and vacation :beach_with_umbrella:.

For those in the know, I’ve been waiting a long time for this day and yes so far it is everything I dreamed it would be… :face_holding_back_tears::blue_heart:

Stay tuned for more info on Project :sweat_droplets:Puddle Jumper​:sweat_droplets: over the next few months. :call_me_hand:

Well, I used to have the Unknown version of the OG Kag. I always felt like the OG Kag was my best performing yoyo.. fairly similar to a Klondike. Even though I rate the OG Kag slightly higher than the Klondike.. I mostly played with my Klondike because I treated the Unknown OG Kag like a shelf queen.

Well, the specs and shape of the 2026 Kag really appealed to me when I saw it. So much so that I decided to sell my Unknown Kag for the exact funds to purchase a 2026 Kag. I don’t regret doing so. The 2026 Kag feels like a perfect refinement/upgrade in pretty much every way*. And, since it’s not a limited/rare Kag.. I plan on playing the snot out of it.

*I can’t speak much on horizontal play though haha (never got around to learning it lmao)

*Both the OG and 2026 Kag are both frickin amazing

*Never tried a 2024 Kag

they pre released them online during the stargazing event

I like it quite a bit. it’s not heavily rim weighted and as cliche as the term is, it feels floaty

Hard to beat this mail day that totally caught me off guard. Especially because it was all due to someone’s kindness and generosity.

Story time:
Some time around April, I got a message on IG from a yoyoer in Singapore who said that his friend who wasn’t on social media wanted to buy some of my 3d-printed fixies.
So I gave him my email and was able to get in contact with his friend. He is a Singaporean fixie aficionado named Hans.
Hans ended up buying a whole set of 3d-printed fixies, and would take time (weeks) playing one model before stringing up the next one. We’d then exchange emails once in a while, talking all about fixies. During one of our conversations, I mentioned that I’m passively looking for a BC No Jive, as I had given mine to my brother. Our last conversation was around mid-June.
Fast forward to yesterday, I received a text message from the local post office, saying that a parcel of mine was ready to be claimed. I wasn’t expecting any mail, but since my uncle was heading out on his boat (our neighborhood has been flooded for 27 days and counting) I decided to tag along and visit the PO.
I arrived at the PO and there it was, a package from Singapore. I was speechless — it was from Hans who I hadn’t heard from in months. And then when I got home, my jaw dropped when I unboxed the package and saw all of these. Inside was a note from Hans, saying that he found a BC No Jive and remembered our conversation, and decided to send it to me along with “some” stuff.

The yoyos:
TK SB-2 w/ holster
BC-Era No Jive
Crucial Maple
TMBR Irving (Purpleheart)
TMBR Irving ( Zebrawood)
TMBR Irving Pro (take-apart)
TMBR Irving Pro
Duncan Jeweled Tournament
YYF Oh-Gee (striped)
YYF Oh-Gee
YYR 5ive

I’m grateful beyond words.

Thank you again for that!

I’m really glad you’re enjoying it and can really get good use out of it!

I definitely plan to play the unknown kagerou (won’t just sit on the shelf forever) every now and then.

I just want to say thank you to everyone on the forums that has helped me build my unknown collection. It truly means a lot especially when I know some of them mean so much to you.

@fatguysnacks247 maildays are the best maildays!
Thanks again for agreeing to sell some of your trade bait throws to me. If any kindly person out there has an OD x ILYY Sakura SE and doesn’t need to keep it, I would consider it a personal favour if you’d consider selling it to fatguysnacks :slight_smile:

I’m a big fan of the Canopy lineup & these new additions are no exception. Astra & Komorebi.

Astra looks interesting! How does it play?

I’ve loved everything from canopy so far, super excited to grab them when they drop!

Weekend catch up on parcels.

  • Onedrop x CLYW Summit 2, CLYW P3ak, CLYW Beater, Yoyofriends Koi Mini Ti, DD Oasis, adl x Hspin Pyro OG, Atmos Noma

The Koi Mini Ti’s bearings are definitely overlubed out of factory and will need cleaning.

A very nice temporary trade has allowed me to try 2 throws that I’m so very curious about. G2 Grunt and…. Well… Thank you tremendously @firestormfirst

Grunt is a fun throw. Still eagerly awaiting my summit 2… any day now.

Glad they arrived safely! Definitely let me know what you think.
Grunt has been a favorite for a while now; just a really fun throw.
I barely threw the S2 before sending it to you, so I don’t have an opinion on that one yet. I was hesitant to get one because I really like the OG Summit and the shape of the new one seems more similar to other models than to its predecessor. Spanish Moss is :fire: though…

“Side Effect Chief/Leaf” is how CLYW/OD describe the Summit 2.

I thought maybe you had a couple of S2s and that’s why you did the temp trade… I didn’t realize you had barely thrown it. Fear not… I was just wanting to get a feel so I won’t hold it long. :blush:

It’s home! And I love the color even more in person, it looks so good!
