Duncan Butterfly - got it from the toy section of an Albertsons grocery store when I was a wee lad. My second yo-yo was a superyo renegade from a mall kiosk during the 90s boom.

I can’t remember my first one exactly, probably a brain or some other very basic yoyo during the 90s boom, but I know my first memorable one.  
A Playmaxx Turbo Bumblebee. My local mall had a store that sold yoyos, and eventually I saved up for one. I still have it today.

Duncan Imperial & Butterfly during the 70’s craze.

Then Chico Yo-yo Heavy Hitter and Yoyofactory 888 in 2010-2011; pulled me back down this rabbit hole. 🙂
