I didn’t think this yoyo was going to arrive at all. It shipped out at the end of March and got stuck in some form of rut at the Richmond, VA distribution center where it appeared to have no movement at all this entire time. The seller and I were ready to pull the plug on it - they were going to refund me and potentially just take the loss if the item did show up…(I would have found a way to still pay them for it). Deciding to be a bit more patient, I had told the seller to not do the refund yet, let’s give it til today (4/13) to see what happens and sure enough, I wake up to the yoyo being out for delivery.
Even crazier, the Ebay listing showed the hex nut in photo but I got the improved star nut version. Even better, no string slippage or stripping. This was a yoyo I had wanted to get hands on back when I got back into yoyoing, was still only with the knowledge of the 90s and my brother got one from school…and I kicked myself for not getting one back then while the school was selling them.

Add insult to injury, I saw when the mail truck pulled up. The driver literally just remained parked over somebody’s driveway for 20 minutes, delivered 2 pieces of mail and was getting ready to bounce. I got out just in time to catch them as I was not about to have this saga continue.
And then the same mail person came back an hour later to drop off another package that they missed. Things are definitely in shambles with logistics/shipping recently…

Enjoy it! That one’s in great shape.
Brand new, pulling off the shrink wrapped packaging probably would have irked some hard core collectors/resellers but I bought this to use. I enjoy collecting yoyos old and new but I also equally enjoy actually playing them.

Pyro by At Design Lab and Hspin.
I’ve never owned one of the originals but throwing this has made me want to try one. Really comfy shape to hold and throw. Almost feels like a wide The End II but I really like this so far.
Beautiful engravings too. Right up there with the Ronin.
