I did a review on it in the yoyo review forum and a small goofy video. I put a regular c bearing in it from my 888 and it was actually a lot of fun to play with. I put the responsive back in it for now and letting my 7 year old play with it. What I said in the review was basically it is a 10.00 yoyo but not a bad little 10.00 yoyo if you switch bearings…fun to “toy” around with.
Just Kato pack is out. Another tempting cheap offer.
Well sweet! I finally ordered me a tour pack. I don’t have that yoyo yet and figured what the hey, 20.00 I can handle that. It was funny too, I saw that multi tool at the Tampa Skate Park tour spot and wanted it and was about to order it for 6.00 yesterday and decided to wait till all of the tour packs where done. Glad I did!
Now I didn’t see any information on this yoyo though it looks like it might be a metal…is that right? It couldn’t be for 20.00 but it doesn’t look plastic. Where is the write up on this one?
It said alluminum in the description. :
yeah yeah yeah…I just went back and read it and saw that haha. Minus 2 points for me. Does anyone know anything about this throw? I didn’t see it under YOYOFactory on this site and didn’t see it on the YYF dot com page.
Yeah, the JK is a relatively new really cheap metal. It retails for 20 bucks. you’re basically getting a multi tool and the fast holder for free.
Someone did a review for it, but I don’t remember who. Check the reviews board, it should be there.
The guy said it was pretty good for 20 bucks. easily outplays a metal drifter, and any other yoyo in its price range.
ok scratch that too…found information for anyone that wants to know.

decided to pick up todays tour pack as a birthday present for myself. Its also the first thing I’m having shipped to my college address instead of my home ;D
I might send one of these my brother’s way since he just had his appendix out. He’s still a little guy and doesn’t yoyo yet maybe I’ll send a PLAY version of the ONE too.
The JK is an amazing yoyo. I like it as much as my DV888.
Sweet, I’m really looking forward to getting mine. I’m curious if the Alex Kato is an actual signature or if it is laser engraved. It looks laser engraved from the picture and comparing it to the tour book I had him sign in Tampa.
I think it might also be safe to say that these packs may be delayed beyond the 3 to 5 days due to the hurricane that might disrupt mail over the next couple of days. I’m curious if they do cancel the next tour stop in the Carolinas on Saturday if they will still release the pack Saturday night. Or if they will push that back.
Incase anyone was wondering they have rescheduled Saturday’s tour to be on Sunday in NC at 4PM instead of Saturday at 2PM. The Virginia Beach Tour Stop has been officially cancelled. All others seem to be at remaining schedule. Now what I am curious about is if the tour packs will now reflect this or if they will be the same and nothing will change.
Thanks for the info TM. I sure hope this doesnt effect the tour packs. As for the Hurricane I hope everyone is alright.
Oh and Im pretty sure the signature is laser engraved, I cant imagine him signing 100 yoyos. But you never know…
I think he should sign all 100 haha. I’d do it! Nice big and sloppy!
Ok I just received word back from YoYo Expert about the reschedule and so forth. Here is what it says:
We are checking in with YoYoFactory on this… We think we are keeping our original schedule with releases though.
We will let you know when we hear back for sure. Thanks!
Hmm, $40… What do you guys think will be in it? Dv888+legacy?
Sorry, but how do you find the prices???
You press new releases and it is there.
thank you
Kinda dissapointed about this one…
Not me I’m super excited here. I don’t have any loops yet and was hoping one pack would include them. I picked them up. Soon as the 40.00 price came up I knew it would be 900s
