I think this is the most original and best looking design too but I kind of don’t get the rocket. I guess rockets… go… boom? I’m definitely down with this one if Jake says it’s doable.

Never trust a kitchen scale. Grab an ammo reloading scale. Accurate to a hundredth of a gram.

Maybe it’s a reference to the 1960’s space program?

I didn’t think of that… Could have gone out to the bench and weighed it all the way down to the grain.

When I invested all my money in Yo-Yos I was about 10. At that time, the USA was landing a man on the moon and **space travel was the ultimate symbol of the future**.

My drawing was a **retro take on that no more**. I have no Ninja Turtle or Mario Bros moments which may give some of our Boomer group a similar Nostalgia feel that can tie to your first yo-yo days…

I tend to stay true to my thoughts. I still have my first yo-yo. That being said I still like **Plum Crazy Purple with Rust Splashes** or the **“Walt - Get off my lawn”** colorway would make me happy, but It’s not my BBQ so lets see what materializes.

Dude, did you just speak MOPAR? I used to have a '73 ‘Cuda in Petty Blue. I’d love to get a yoyo in that color just for ol’ times sake.
