Saw a bunch on eBay a little bit ago, could all be coming from the same source perhaps? ---

I would definitely advise getting only the standard red ones to throw and the a lines to collect. The a lines were almost always victim to cracked hubs ---

Yeah - we managed to find some old stock from an old retailer from the last boom! I personally learning MANY tricks on the A-Line Cherry Bomb - plus loops on Da Bomb. Team Losi will always have a special place in many yo-yo player’s hearts and they are still really fun to throw! ---

What a great price on those too! I still have my original Cherry Bomb. A few years ago someone found out I had a few still in the package and offered me $35 each for them!
