do we know about the tiffany one? every time i see it i start licking my screen

And I said what about the Tiffany one? She said…

I paid $160 retail for a TP Solenoid. Fairly recently, actually.

I like it, but a 6061 made in China yoyo probably should have been a little cheaper.

Me being mad it’s not until November but also realizing I got time to buy a few more yo-yos I’ve been eyeing

Yea the extra time is really making me consider if I REALLY want a second Klondike. It’s an amazing throw but I’m so indecisive. I want a few other yoyos and maybe a good set of 3a yoyos and the value proposition of 135 for a yoyo I already have (in a different color) is getting harder to justify when I want to try new things too.

All these yoyo drops and so little money. The pain!

This is where I’m at, and especially around the holiday season when new yo-yos and good deals start popping up. Gonna be so hard to pass up on though lol, I may end up getting one and then selling my 28’s. Also the BBB is gonna be $145 at least that’s what it shows on Rewind :sob:

Yeah I had my eye on the Clearview Station one, I don’t love BBB especially not for an additional 10. Plus I should start christmas shopping soon, sometimes it takes a while to find the perfect thing for some of my giftees.

On-topic; I smashed my plastic 000 into the ground off a bad bind and totally annihilated it. The bearing seat is cracked and does not sit flat on one side. :frowning: I may buy another but I don’t know. I guess it’s a display stand now lol

Yeah that sucks man but on the bright side, $30 dollar yoyo and readily available if you ever wanna replace it :+1:

Yup that’s why I bring cheap yos to concerts and similar stuff. It’s unfortunate but it doesn’t break my heart. I’m glad I didn’t do this to something more expensive!

I didn’t even realize the crack went all the way through till I looked a bit closer just now! :joy::sob:

I hit myself in the eye with my Legendary Terrarian the other day. Not the socket, the actual eyeball. Luckily, it was a soft throw and I had Ultralights installed. It could’ve been worse.

Safety throws save eyes!

I have a similar crack on mine….not sure what caused it. :man_shrugging:t2:

Mines still smooth and plays great. Does yours affect the play?
