They could duplicate the b grade 07 888 and I’d still be happy, lol

888 - I would love to see a return, seems like YYF has been using American factories again for some of their throws - be neat if @yyfben2.deactivated could have the old shops that done the 07 08 09 .11 do another run of an 888 variation - would love to see it :slight_smile:

We still make yoyos at the same shop, specifically the mighty flea :slight_smile:

888 has a legend we are happy to preserve, and lately we have payed homage to it annually but its a legend and the time, place and innovation then cannot be replicated. the intangibles won’t be there even if the yoyo is identically, so we will continue to honor the design in different ways without attempting to replicate it.

Respect can eat my entire … Joking, I just miss the 07 888 and it’s fixable, I just have to hunt the BST.

And Ben did a huge solid for us 888 lovers with the titanium version, which I will also hunt down.

I’m with ya on this.

I can see the appeal to make new throws, and One Drop has been releasing tons of new designs and killing it.

But they also reissue some older throws in with those releases which is nice. My question is that I can’t understand how they choose what to reissue. They’ll reissue the Deep State, Fat tire, or 1to1 multiple times within a 2-3 year span. But never once reissue a Top Deck, Cascade, Overture, 5KQV, or Prescription, etc. within that time frame.

Personally, I don’t have a major issue with it as I’m content with collecting at a slow pace, enjoying what I already own. But looking at it from a sales perspective if I was someone less patient, or had more money to invest in the hobby I would’ve collected everything I wanted from OD already using the BST, which equates to OD losing out on sales. I mean, I’ve been waiting 4+ years for a Kuntosh 5KQV to drop and it looks like I’m in for another 4+ years going by their track record of late.

OD website also lists what yoyo’s are officially retired… Things like the Rally, Sakura SE, or Benchmark Series are labeled as such, however the Format C, Valor, Summit, or Chik! from that same timeframe all don’t have that label. (Diorama is added for anyone interested)

Also to stay on topic. DRI-YWET. It’s the dream end goal throw for me.

Never noticed that Onedrop listed some throws as retired. Soon as you said that I checked on the M1, lol, and it’s retired.

Good to see the OG Project is still possible. I hope they do an anniversary run in November again at some point.

Also saw the dingo and Cabal are possible for a comeback which is nice

Haha, I only noticed because I made up a list of everything I wanted to collect from them when I came back a few years ago and spent a day or two on their site.

I would love, to grab a Silver plated OG Project brand spankin’ new from OD.

Would be cool to see some of these older designs re-released with a “Legendary Terrarian” sort of approach too. AL7 and a bit more umph.
