WTB SPYY Train Wreck 2

Come on. Someone has this one. Would also love an original Radian, and a TYY-01 Light Weight version.

there’s two on the auction site

Yeah its been up for years, its way over priced, and its listed by multiple sellers from Japan. Scam.

gotcha, good luck in your hunt!

Thanks! One of the last ones on my list to complete my SPYY collection.

So…. What is a price for a Trainwreck 2…. That you would consider ā€˜not way over-priced’?

Definitely not $300+ like the one on eBay. I’d pay up to $150 for a nice one in the US.

Thanks for the information on that.

I was just curious considering it’s something that would complete your collection of SPYY yo-yos.

I have both the first and second ones, in perfect condition with boxes

But at least currently… As they have been since I bought them both new when they originally came out, are part of my somewhat large collection.

No doubt there are a few floating around here and there

Obviously, nobody that really knows you’re looking for one… Might have one, but they don’t know you’re looking for it.

Good luck with your hunt.

I appreciate it! Just knowing they are out there is always helpful. I also have a fairly large collection, and spyy is just part of it, but the part I cater to the most these days. I honestly never expected this to be one of the last ones I’d have to track down. I have a Radian Super Light, a Golden Pure, a Galactic Goose, etc. Some of the models I thought would be the hardest to find came to me fairly quickly. That being said I’m not really in a rush to track down the last few. They just come as they come. If you ever decide to part with any of your spyy stuff please drop me a line!

These are mine. Funny thing is… I bought them both when they were brand new… I put strings on them… And I honestly don’t even remember throwing them?

I guess it’s just because they’re so pretty and especially the black one has got that wild contrasting engraving… I was just distracted by all the other videos. I had even way back then and just didn’t find much interest in tossing around. It’s a matter of fact, what’s even more interesting, and I don’t even have an answer for this one… Is I don’t even display them. I just keep them in their boxes.

Very nice! That solid black looks very good. They also have the same finish as the BBB Radian MKII. great feeling yo-yo.

I have a main display shelf that I shift every once in a while. Currently it is Jake Bullock, Recess, and Featherspin, but it often gets loaded up with my SPYY collection. Here is one of the most recent photos I have of my collection. I’ve gotten a couple more since this was taken.

We need to create a ā€œSPYY appreciation postā€ thread NOW (If the topic doesn’t already exist, I don’t know if it does) :rofl:

I’m sure its been done. It’s been mostly quiet in the spyy corner for a while. Only a handful of serious collectors left looking for them, and the occasional person looking for that nostalgia trip. So many of his designs were ahead of their time.
