Alright, it’s been about a year now.
Is anyone else still anxious as to whether or not YoYoExpert is ever going to reclaim the stolen General Yo M10’s?
I’d imagine it’s a long process, yet I think Ernie should make some special collector’s box or dog tags to send with each one in honor of the run that went through so much.
Either way, is anyone else still excited for these?

YES. It’s good to see people remember. They were supposed to be cleared for sale sometime over the summer but I don’t know what ended up happening.
CaliBuddha:
Didn’t they get them?
I don’t think so, for two reasons. One being that I haven’t heard anything on here or General Yo’s Facebook. Two is I think they’d still show up under General Yo’s products, because the prestige is still there and that released early October of last year, and it’s still there.

Aren’t they being saved as evidence or something?
General Yo’s web page says to “keep an eye out” on here for them soon, but I think it’s been there a while.

Funny enough - I was just on the phone with our local Detectives at the police station.
We should have them very, very soon.
Very special yo-yos - such a story to tell! Haha.

I heard about this! No one messes with my favorite store! I sent Officer Hatchet to handle it.

i want one of the BA editions,a BA with a BA story,im happy they are gonna show up finally.
Think you should even send Officer Nifty to catch the the criminals as he would be nifty to catch them.
Nah, I posted him awhile back. But, he resurfaces when there is yo-yo related wrongdoing. I will also create an Officer Nifty for MysteriousYoyoer. I’ll do that soon.

Here it is as it played out from the beginning (I’ve just cherry-picked the relevant posts):
After many emails requesting another run of the M10, we put together this second, and final run.
For the holidays, we are dropping the price to $110 for solid colors, and $120 for custom anodize.
Some totally unfortunate news…
Our local postal service appears to have misplaced the package and has been searching all week! We don’t have anymore specifics then that and at this point are waiting (with lots of positive thinking) that it will show up in the near future. But right now that is all we know!
We will keep you posted if and when they arrive to us! :-\
After more research i believe the shop selling them is probably legitimate, but possibly unaware of what they have or selling them on commission or something for a customer, i’m not sure, i PM’d Ernie with more info and hopefully he can get to the bottom of it. Surely a long-running business(14 years on eBay) wouldn’t risk everything just to knowingly sell some stolen yoyos, so i’d ask people to not send any messages to the seller or otherwise notify them, especially not until Ernie has had a chance to contact them.
I contacted the hobby store, and Andre.
The hobby store is now aware that they have stolen property.
He is being very helpful, and we will get to the bottom of this.
Authorities will be notified.
Thank you everyone for looking out for us!
The yoyo community is awesome
So there you have it! Massive kudos once again to NathanC for his great detective work.
I’m glad to see that this all ended up working out and these M10’s will be showing up on here soon… I’m tempted to buy one myself just so I can own a piece of YYE folklore.

Are these even good?
(blatant I don’t know my yoyo facts and is ignorant post)
Also, “soon” is about 8 months? :o ;D
Yeah man definitively pick one up if you can, so smooth.

Ehh, the prestige is better… But its apples to oranges… It never really did it for me, but those Santa engravings are so sweet!
