Hi,
I’m researching about YYR Almighty, Nir, MN Autoscopy, Chobi Gorilla and Monotone.
I just discovered YoyoRecreation and I wonder if are those (still?) made in Japan?
Good question. It’s too bad YYE doesn’t include country of manufacture in their listings anymore.

YYR are now made in China or by Onedrop. Those are all China.

That is disappointing. Is there any case, resource or topic that reveal this?
It’s been known for a while now, can’t remember what the first model was to be Manufactured in CN, if i had to guess inevitable? But they’re all just as good as when they were Manufactured in JP.

Thank you all guys, I’m new in this forum but I get answers quickly and everybody tries to help. I love that forum culture is still alive.
And @Herelieslewi I’ll still definitely get some of those in my list.

I’m not sure, but their yoyos were a lot more expensive when they were made in Japan, similar to their made in Oregon line.
If you want a new yoyo that was made in Japan there’s the Japan Technology FgAl.

Were they really? The bimetals are currently about $170-205. I don’t remember them being more than that.
If we use Sleipnir as our reference point, it went from $160 to $94 USD, which if we factor inflation means it costs less than half of what it used to.
On their site most of the bimetals are $150, I’m not sure why YYE has higher prices.

If you are looking to buy some older yyr made in Japan there is a seller here @YOYOJAMizm
they are not the ones you have listed but they are excellent examples of earlier YYR

I agree that $150 is close to what companies from other Asian countries are charging these days.
