The name refers specifically to black ones. But i guess alternatively you could call the old ones something like nob.

Shipping internationally isn’t rocket surgery. You do the same thing as any other package. Put an address. Except there’s a short form that looks like this:

Contents: yoyo  
Declared value: $50  
Gift? Yes (or no… whatever…)

That’s it.

Really, that’s all.

It costs more, but I assume that you and the person would work that out.

I had to send a package to Brasil once, worst experience at the post office ever ;D  
The address wouldn’t fit in the sheet and I had no idea which name was the city, region or the residence name :🙂

Sometimes when you’re not familiar with the outline of the address you’re given, it can be a pain

I’ve had a similar experience before (not for yoyo but shipping nonetheless); but after you’ve done it once, the next time it’s easy to remember to ask for clarification from the int’l person. :wink:

So how many of you lucky devils out there picked up a Schneider MK-II? Anyone receive theirs and get to play it yet? I don’t normally stop myself from buying stuff that really appeals to me but I bought 3 TPs at $250 each retail and e=mc2/Messiah/Gnarwhal 2 on the BST over the course of about a week and felt sort of guilty since I had done so well cutting my collection down and now I’m sad I didn’t grab the MK-II Schneider when I had the chance.

Holy cow. I just pulled my MkII out of my mailbox and am blown away by the feel of it. It is like a v-cut Leo Sniper. I am gutted I only picked up one. Gutted I tell you. Very little vibe, again a beautiful product (just like the Attack version), and just wonderful on the string. Not as powerful as the MkI but like fine china vs. the original bull.

I am jealous, it looks like a fantastic yoyo.

On a YYR related note, the e=mc2 I picked up on the BST arrived today. Blink is one of my all time favorites and I’ve always wanted to try an e=mc2 to see how it would stack up, though I always suspected that I’d prefer the lighter Blink. So far I’m absolutely loving the e=mc2, right on par with the Blink. The heavier weight definitely changes the play but certainly not for the worse. My only issue with it is that I like it so much that I’d like to hang on to it for a while but I do not care for solid red yoyos at all.

So this yoyo has been weighing on my mind a lot since…well since it first came out.

How’s the Dreadnaught?

Does it play too heavy for it’s size (as I suspect the Dread G does)?
