Granted I’m late to the party on this…but I can only assume Duncan made a bajillion of those things. However, they seem to have completely vanished from any and all storefronts. Any ideas?

They are plastic, haven’t been produced in many years, and are self destructive toys and many of them lived short lives at the hands of youngsters that really didn’t get it. The ones that survived have been picked over throughout all those remaining years. Many of those remain waiting in someone’s collection for their currently used BK to die.

As someone that went searching for a specific yoyo last night and found a bearing king or ripcord in every drawer I looked in, I can confirm that is a correct answer​:joy:
