New innovation. There’s still a select few who love Model T’s, doesn’t mean they should be made.

Well the Walter never really got ‘discontinued’, it was just a very limited one-time run of 100 yoyos.
As for the Aquaris, the yoyo wiki states that the main reason for it’s departure was manufacturing issues, but at the end of the day a lot of companies just discontinue yoyos when they get too old. It’s part of the yoyo life cycle, it’s only really Onedrop nowadays that are happy to keep producing OG-run yoyos in modern times. 🙂
Nonetheless, there are plenty of great 4A choices in stores at the moment, so I don’t really think it left that big of a hole in the market…

But people are still willing to pay 200 $ near for a Walter why was it a such a small run and even when they know the popularity of it why don’t they make new ones?

In the words of Spencer Berry himself:

It was just a personal project for him. Granted, whilst CLYW helped with the design and Onedrop did the machining, it was still Spencer’s pet project that were sold off his website, not a full run from a firmly established company.
I don’t doubt that with the response it got, had it been a Onedrop or CLYW project, they may have made further runs. However Spencer is just a yoyoer, not a manufacturer, so I can only assume that he simply has no desire to spend more of his time or money making any more. 🙂

Keep in mind that sometimes they want collector value to remain for those that own them so they choose not to make more

Response metals have a limited market compared to unresponsive. Look at the flying V. It took a while for it to sell, along with the starfire. The responsive market comes in waves so there is never really a consistent want for responsive metals.
By the way my favorite discontinued yoyo is the yoyojam big Kahuna I feel like I am the only person who ever thought this yoyo was great.

Because everyone wants unresponsive, and it’s easy enough to make an unresponsive yoyo more responsive.
