I’m gonna stick to 1 yoyo per brand cause im very partial to my clyw’s but my choices from my own collection are:
Heavensent creep
Reykjavik return tops mjolnir (very underrated this thing is just pure power)
Mowl obsession+
Yyr od draupnir/autoscopy (tie between these two)
Atmos aria
Honourable mention to the OD panorama but I just got it recently and I still haven’t decided how much I like it.
Some of my own previous answers in this thread (that I created no less lol) make me cringe. Let’s fix that:
That’s 12 yoyos that I feel like cover all my own personal bases/what I could want in a given moment.
That’s an interesting scenario! Starting fresh with a collection can be a unique opportunity. Your choices seem like a great mix of performance and variety. Personally, I’d go for the YoYoFactory Edge 2022 as well, and maybe add a One Drop Kuntosh to the mix for its legendary play.
I’d be devastated if my collection was gone. However I think I can choose around 10 throws to get that I could be happy with and cover most of my basis. I’m a huge believer in looking for steals not deals. I love a good bang for ur buck premium Yoyo at a bargain. Though I won’t hesitate to drop some cash on something nice that I feel deserves it’s price tag I’ve generally found that you can get equal quality if not better for far less if u know where to look.
I love my undersized collection so I’d probably aim to fill that void first, so here goes:
I’d love to explain my reasoning by I’m currently driving on the freeway!! Lol I’ll come back and add on later.
But quick PSthe Vapor motion just came back instock here on YYE you can get a b grade for $30 right now! I say this because this is one of the throws on my list of yo-yos I think everyone should own! Do urself a favor!
What happened to the OD Panorama from your OG list ? 
Very honestly I haven’t used a Panorama in months. I know I was like… the biggest Panorama fan on the forums for awhile lol, but my tastes have drastically changed as I shifted from wanting to be more of a player than a collector. It’s a fun yoyo that I believe will be an all time classic down the road, but as time goes on, I find myself gravitating towards much more performant yoyos (I"ve basically only used the Klondike for the past several months).
I am scouring the globe, doing everything in my power to refind my wanker. I don’t think anyone could steal it and ever use it in public because the whole world knows it’s mine lol. I have a lot of photos of the scratches and dings from sparking and yeeting it.
I might actually kill someone for it. I love it too much to be without it.
Well, I mean you only have … about 170 yoyo’s from your collection that you posted lol.That’s a lot of throws to choose from. I’m also surprised none of the One Drops made it into your list for 2023.
It’s been 3 years? Way past due for an update here especially since I’m not rockin with some of my previous answers lol…
Summit 2 as my daily driver/all-rounder.
Canopy Ti to scratch the titanium itch.
Wilderness 7075 for a no frills, pure performance throw.
P3AK for organic.
Klondike & Autoscopy for bimetals.
Would fill a 6 case and I’d be happy with that for awhiiile.
It’s been awhile since I’ve answered and my tastes have changed a bit too.
6 yoyos I would use to restart my collection are (I realize that 2 of them are bias as they are my company but I sincerely believe they are great yoyos):
i think i could be satisfied forever with an oasis and a confusion. i’d maybe hunt down a pretty wm1 as well.
confusion first because turbos are in stock and id finally have a reason to try one, oasis next because marmot hunting is a long game. yeah send post
If I had to start over id grab a speedaholic xx for a plastic, a shutter wide angle for a basic mono, a revora for a high end mono, a joyride for a D bearing and a unity for a nice bimetal.
Starting over would drastically change my approach.
Shout out to all these other yo-yos glaring at me that I didn’t mention. I like y’all too, but I’m not going back down that road again!
I cant live without the hydrangea dahlia, that would be my first pickup. After that I would get some staples I play regularly - grail, summit 1, and the wizard/warlock.
First order of business would be getting an S2, then a Warlock, and an Asora v3 would cover my normal monometals, then I would probably wanna track down Dinosaur in the Wild. That thing rips. Another yoyo that I really like from this year is the Enso Transcendence. Miiight grab a second one of those whenever they actually release.
I still have a fairly modest collection since my original response.
If my collection disappeared, I’d keep it simple seeking out currently available models - a ZGRT El Mijo SL, YYT Origen, and a Duncan Hornet (of course with the remaining insurance money, I’d likely buy a yacht and a new car.)
Time has passed and updating again. These are all faves in a category.
Static Sudo
Static Wave
Markmont Project 2 (I feel like no one talks about this yoyo and it’s one of my fav machined by OD)
Heaven Sent Creep
Recess First Base
This is easy; I just pick up the latest offerings from Yoyorecreation.
