Sometimes i wonder why a lot of brands don’t just stop offering solid colors.
Looking at the stock for a lot of yoyos still readily available after the release window you usually see all the splashes or acid washes or whatever sold out with multiple solid colors with a decent amount left.
And with many brands seeing it as more viable to move to a new model rather than revisit any release that didn’t sell enough regardless of it being well received, i wonder how much those solid colorways sitting in stock have on that equation.
i get the argument that solids are a bit cheaper but realistically how many people buying hundred dollar plus yoyos are going to be put off by $10-15.
Obviously this sentiment doesn’t apply universally, there are brands like Turning Point or One Drop (and more those are just examples) where the unique colorways are more of a special thing than an expectation every release, and/or their solid colors stand out from others.
Yeah I’m sure a lot of people do but that doesn’t stop the fancier anos from selling out immediately with 6 or 7 solids left in stock.
I’m not saying i would like for them to do this but it just surprises me that they wouldn’t capitalize on this by at least skewing releases much more heavily towards non-solids. Also i wonder if more releases would justify additional runs or iterations if so much stock wasn’t left unsold for such long periods.
