This may be old news, but… Got a couple of these near my home. Went to one of them - they had Freehands, Dashes, couple of Raiders, the Mosquito combo with…some other throw :P. Better than nothing - picked up a Freehand and a Raider. Decided to go to the other Hobbytown USA, pretty close to my work. Really surprised all they had in stock: YYF: One Star, Fast 201, Whip, Grind Machine, Protostar, One, Velocity. Yomega Crossfire Duncan Ooch Behind the counter they had a bunch of DV888s - one of 'em was around $90, but one of the regulars was on my list, so I picked one up. There’s a big hobby shop nearby that sells mostly RC cars and planes. They used to stock Team Losi yoyos, but don’t carry any throws anymore. Went to Walmart and Target - nothing. Toys R Us seems to keep the same things in stock at their stores. ---

You paid $90 for a DV888?! That’s a huge rip off… You could’ve ordered one for $45 plus shipping from here. Edit: I may have misread. Did you pay $90 for a DV888? ---

Did you pay $90 for a DV888? i believe some sort of SE was 90, but he picked up a regular for 50 or so since it is at a brick and mortar store. ---

> [@dingo54](#): > > i believe some sort of SE was 90, but he picked up a regular for 50 or so since it is at a brick and mortar store. Ah, that makes sense. But still, $90 for a SE DV888 is still a rip, even if they are a brick and mortar store. I’ve never seen a SE DV888 (the new, China made version, not the old one that was $65) go for over $60 from a store. ---

Heh, no, I didn’t pay $90 - there was only one of those and I wasn’t interested in paying that much for it. It came in a box about 2ce the size of the standards. Got a regular one in matte black. Love it! Just surprised at the wide variety of what the same chain carries only, especially when they are only a few miles apart. Then again, I don’t know how retail works! ;D ---

(Vague Title \>:)) Shops that you can go inside, if so where are they? I’m an Arizonan and just wondering if there’s a shop I can go to for physical grabbing a Yoyo and playing. ---

Second the suggestion for Toys R Us and Hobbytown USA. Look for local “mom and pop” hobby shops. ---

Colorado Into The Wind 1408 Pearl St. Boulder, CO 80302 | Order Line: 800-541-0314 - This has been the best place (kite store) I had ever been in Colorado. I bought my Cold Fusion and Apollo there about 14 years ago. They’ve got local hand-carved single piece yoyo’s for the non-bearing collectors like myself. Los Angeles, California Westfield Fassion Square Mall 14006 Riverside Dr, Sherman Oaks, CA Karen’s Toys - Duncan Pulse, Reflex “Specialty” yoyo’s etc… Marbles The Brain - YYF Velocity - There are some beginner/mid-range yoyo’s in this mall. Marbles is a game store and might have changing/more interesting stock.
