These have been offered through yoyo factory directly. They had a 48 hour sale last weekend, I posted a notification for this sale on the reddit group. Before that yyf had a blind box for $105 that included the IQ and the new JDS Shutter. We didn’t know at the time that these oreleased models would be in the blind box of course, but that was pretty crazy.
The JDS Shutter has been released in Japan, and will probably be released soon here in the states. The 444 was just released on yoyo expert, so I’d wager the IQ will come out soon.
Ben did mention the other day that on 140 of each colorway will be sold. Then they will Coe. Out with othe/ more basic colorways for main runs.
In this first run there is the gun metal with rainbow rims, a silver with rainbow rims, a gold with rainbow rims, and the same solos with blue rims. That’s 6 colorways, 140 products each. I’d guess a good chunk have been sold already. Keep an eye out in the coming weeks.
I didn’t get them in the mail but I recently found these in my house that I forgot about.
The Duncan has a Christmas gift from my mother-in-law a few years ago (before I got into yoyoing last year). She knew I liked retro toys.
The dark blue one is a bit of a mystery. I remember having it as a kid but it wasn’t something I used a lot. I found it in my dad’s old desk drawer. It feels like it’s hardwood. The string that was in it was very thin. The axle is also concave. Other than that no marking to tell me who made it.
Retic Yoyos Copperhead/Zeekio Alpha Steel. Really like 'em both so far. The Copperhead is astoundingly smooth and floaty, it really exceeded my expectations.
Also had to snag an Assassin. Love it so far, super snappy binds and weirdly controllable lightness. Plus it makes beautiful dinging noises. Very nice yoyo.
Well yes, it is new!
unused, with the original pads without wear and two bearings, (one is slim to play with response;) I found it in a second-hand purchase application in my country at a very good price: I am also surprised!
